Relapse exploit enables PS5 jailbreak on nearly all firmware versions

Relapse exploit enables PS5 jailbreak on nearly all firmware versions

A new exploit named 'Relapse' allows users to jailbreak PlayStation 5 consoles running firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60, bypassing previous limitations that required older, unupdated hardware. The exploit uses a WebKit vulnerability and kernel error to gain full system control, enabling homebrew software, emulators, and pirated games. While it expands access for most users, consoles updated to the latest firmware 14.00.00 remain secure. This development follows recent turmoil in the PS5 hacking community regarding AI-assisted exploits and Linux porting efforts.

Space Cadet Pinball Gets a Real-World 3D-Printed Cabinet

A maker is converting Space Cadet Pinball into a real pinball table using mostly 3D‑printed parts for the body and playfield components, with the flippers still needing work. Because the 1995 game lacks high‑resolution artwork, he’s seeking collaborators to create suitable art and print-ready assets via his YouTube page, even joking about paying contributors with playtime.

Game Boy Color Demakes Turn Animal Crossing and Castlevania SotN into Tiny Classics

Homebrew developer Richter Wilker has created two Game Boy Color demakes: Animal Crossing’s Animal Forest GB Folk, which mirrors AC’s village-building, events, mini-games, fruit-collecting and fishing, and a SotN demake called Gospel of Belmont that reimagines Castlevania: Symphony of the Night/Rondo of Blood within GBC limitations, featuring a persistent but ever-changing castle layout for a chaotic, replayable experience.

etaHEN Set to Launch on PS5 Bypassing Supervisor Firmware

etaHEN Set to Launch on PS5 Bypassing Supervisor Firmware

PlayStation developer LightningMods is working on porting the PS5 Homebrew Enabler (etaHEN) to the Byepervisor exploit, which allows for reading and writing to kernel memory at runtime, overcoming limitations of the hypervisor on Jailbroken consoles. This development could enhance performance and features compared to the existing kstuff method, which is slower and harder to port to new firmwares. The etaHEN port will initially support PS5 firmwares vulnerable to Byepervisor, specifically versions 1.xx and 2.xx, offering features like a modified Debug menu, plugins, and a Homebrew Store.

The commercially unused NES Expansion Port is being repurposed by hacker and modder RetroTime with the creation of the NES Hub, a plug-and-play accessory that will enable features such as 4-player Bluetooth support, SNES controller support, and compatibility with various third-party devices and add-ons. Beta testing is ongoing, and the price will depend on production costs.

"Nintendo's Legal Battle: Emulator Makers Accused of Massive Piracy"

"Nintendo's Legal Battle: Emulator Makers Accused of Massive Piracy"

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the makers of the Yuzu emulator, alleging that the emulator enables users to play pirated copies of Nintendo Switch games. The lawsuit argues that using Yuzu to play games on platforms other than the Switch is forbidden, and that the majority of Yuzu users are using it to play downloaded pirated games. However, potential defenses for the emulator maker include the ability to run homebrew Nintendo Switch games and the legality of making personal archival copies of legitimately purchased software. The case raises questions about the extent of Nintendo's control over how its games are used and accessed.

Exciting Developments in PS5 Hacking Scene: FPKG Support, Firmware Updates, and GoldHEN Progress

Rumors are circulating about potential developments in the PS5 hacking scene by Christmas. Zecoxao, a well-known figure in the hacking community, has made several predictions, including the release of Sistr0's GoldHEN and cheat support, Sleirsgoevy's investigation into PS5 FPKG support (which has since been debunked), TheFloW's disclosure of a userland and kernel exploit, and a special surprise for the PSP, PS2, and possibly the PS5. While some of these predictions have already been confirmed or are highly likely, the exact timing and release of these developments remain uncertain.

"Expanding PS5 FPKG Support: Advancements in Firmware Porting"

PS5 hacker Sleirsgoevy has released PS4 FPKG support on the PS5, allowing the console to run PS4 homebrew and backups. Currently only compatible with PS5 Firmware 4.03, Sleirsgoevy has provided instructions on how to port the support to other firmwares. Recent commits to the developer's github repository include compatibility with SpecterDev's payload format and scripts to aid in porting. Additionally, a python script has been added to assist in porting PS4 FPKG to more PS5 firmwares. The developer has also introduced support for "FrankenELF," a patched version of payloads/ELF files that are compatible with SpecterDev's ELF Loader. Users can download and use the "PS4 FPKG Enabler" on PS5 running firmware 4.03.

Virtual Boy Enthusiast Revives Nintendo's Forgotten Console with New Tech and Games

Despite being considered a failure, the Virtual Boy console from Nintendo has a small but dedicated community of engineers and developers who are keeping the system alive nearly three decades after its release. Kevin Mellott, the engineer behind RetroOnyx, is creating and selling after-market hardware for the Virtual Boy, including power adaptors and flashcarts. He has also funded the development of Virtual WarZone, a tank combat game built specifically for the Virtual Boy. Mellott's passion for the console stems from his childhood fascination with its 3D capabilities, and he plans to continue supporting the development of original titles for the Virtual Boy through RetroOnyx. He is currently working on a new flashcart called MultiBoy, which will allow players to access the Virtual Boy's entire library and select games through an on-screen menu.
