This is not even close to the reason that my PS5 has been offline, but it's super neat and probably means we're close to piracy.
Well the real reason is I built a PC and gave Sony the finger for jacking the price of premium. Again.
You and I are much alike, kinsman.
Back in March this year, security engineer and modder Andy Nguyen started experimenting with running Linux on the PS5. After months of testing and improvements, he has finally released PS5-Linux
Math was never my strongest point, but something doesent add up here.
2 months is still "months" isn't it?
But it's 1,5 months.
That's right, months
Made sense to the LLM!
The world without editors.
There are editors. It is just an Ai chat bot 🤷
So worse than no editor.
He's really fucking fast you see.
Based on this list, it looks like you have to be sitting on a 2022 or earlier non-updated PS5 to have a chance at the 4.51 or lower firmware to use this. A chance it'll open up to other firmwares and as said maybe there's a limited functionality 5.xx exploit on the horizon, but just a bit of reality before you get too excited.
Didn't the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn't be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony's key would have their lawyers after you real quick.
I wonder what would happen if people started mass posting the key like they did with the DVD DRM keys back in the day, though I'm sure the industry would be much more aggro these days
If I install Linux on a PS5, can I use the Blu-ray drive as a PC optical drive to rip DVD's and shit?
I doubt it, but if so, maybe you can do UHD Blu-Rays too, since the PS5 can handle those.
Like the orginal PS3?
Like the original PS2?
Like the original PS1?
Like the original?
Well gotta turn off auto updates immediately.
Edit: by immediately I mean years ago, apparently.
I immediately blocked my ps5 from the internet when the Rom keys got leaked, but I too fear it was already too late
Good thing mine has been unplugged ever since I realized a docked steam deck paired with ps5 controllers was a way better experience than using the PS5 anyway
I wonder how it compares to the steam machine.
Well, you can get the hardware now for one.
Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.
I can't wait for bringus studios to release a video where he games on a PS5.
