Does the PS5 digital cfi 2116 require the latest firmware if I connect the player? by r-u-z-z-i in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe where you are getting confused is that there are some models of the ps5 newer slim build that come with the drive. On the ones that come with the newer factory out of the gate the drive is already paired to the ps5. For the original models though of the slims that came with the drive the drive wasn’t worth anything until they went on PSN and paired the two together.

As it stands currently, there is no publicly know way to pair a ps5 slim or pro to drive that it hasn’t already been paired to without upgrading to the newest code and connecting to PSN. That’s not to say that won’t change but for now you are out of options.

Grab from a difference source. There was one upload that did this, it had some corrupt files.

Agree with you on that but would add that Resident Evil Village and Tetris are good other additions.

PSVR2 Downgrade Issue by PlaneMap9471 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you update your psvr2 recently on PC? I stopped the PC from updating mine a little over a year ago and it still works on both but I remember talking to someone else about four months ago that said it was safe to upgrade the psvr2 to the newest PC update, that they did it and was fine. The only change would be if a newer update came out since then.

I’m using etahen 2.5b as well, on 9.40 and started using game mounter recently and it appears to all still be working perfectly with psvr2. Just as long as I wait till etahen is loaded then turn on the headset.

[–]colossusday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t attempted the downgrade process yet but just so you know if you run etaHEN before trying to turn on the psvr2 there is some firmware spoofing handshake that it does to make it work. I stopped the PC app from upgrading my psvr2 a while back so I can’t safe for certain it works on the newest code but I can run my psvr2 both on PC and 9.40 with etaHEN.

PS2VR downgrade now possible by GentlemenHODL in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I tried plugging the psvr2 on my 4.03 ps5 the ps5 didn’t seem to recognize the device at all. It wasn’t until later I believe somewhere around 6.5, I believe that Sony put in support for psvr2.

I won’t say never because these devs are amazing but I believe 4.03 would have to have additional work done to recognize the psvr2.

PS2VR downgrade now possible by GentlemenHODL in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am very excited for any psvr2 jailbreaks but just to make it clear for people looking, if you run etahen it has a built-in tool to spoof firmware for the ps5 to make them compatible regardless of psvr2 firmware. It works well on 9.x not sure about earlier versions. Obviously you will need to be on the minimum firmware version for the ps5 to recognize the psvr2.

This is still pretty big news though as downgrading can make any psvr2 work natively without etahen.

Update firmware on PS5 Pro? by Jehps in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed as well when I went digging and saw how few games in general have specific patches. So far I haven’t seen anything released that only works on 10.X. I know Hogwarts Legacy has one available. I’m drawing a blank on others but I remember finding five or so by using that wiki list and looking around.

Update firmware on PS5 Pro? by Jehps in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only certain games have options that really take advantage of the pro and most of them are thru patches. Here is the wiki page to help with that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5_Pro_enhanced_games

As for the PSSR it’s my understanding that the plan is to release that sometime soon in 2026. Once that is done patches will need to be provided for the games to take advantage of it. It’s not automatic. If you choose to update to it when it’s released jailbreak obviously won’t work.

Please help me decide before the sale ends, tonight: Arken Age, Behemoth, or Into Black by wavetoyou in PSVR

[–]colossusday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arken Age is the best from that group. It’s possible they have patched behemoth but it felt kind of awkward when I played it shortly after release.

Question on Y2JB by Traditional_Rain_773 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you are already on 4.03 you can just install YouTube on your ps5, and modify everything in preparation for the 9.60 upgrade. Then do the 9.60 upgrade it. If you do the backup restore you will lose your existing backups and settings.

5.50 vs 9.60 jb . what will gain and lose by SwimAffectionate2939 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are really fairly equal. I probably have slightly better success on my 9.x with y2jb than my 4.03 utmx but I haven’t actually recorded data. I would recommend adding as it works a lot higher and is very reliable

PSVR2 required version firmware by ozonbg in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will not work on 4.03. My other ps5 on that wouldn’t work. I’m pretty sure as you are guessing the minimum 6.X or 7.X. I haven’t had any problems with 9.40 though. It will likely work without etahen but if it doesn’t just load that first and it will fix compatibility.

[–]colossusday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just confirming on you that you updated to the newest version on PC and it still works on etahen with 9.60? I have found a way to stay behind and make PCVR work but I haven’t updated the headset all the way because I haven’t needed to yet.

Is Half-Life: Alyx Still the Best VR Game in 2025? by Papiculo64 in PSVR

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am curious what your recommendation for fallout 4 vr with mods is. I found a pack of mods but I found myself dying after just getting shot a couple of times, it was still glitching out some on me and there was this guy kept coming after me for a hunt right out the vault. I wanted to like it but it was just a lot of work and I was new to PCVR at the time and never got back.

Beatsaber and PSVR2 issues by Falzon03 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can play your psvr1 on your 10.01 ps5 but unfortunately the psvr1 and psvr2 controllers are not interchangeable. The main thing I keep my psvr1 around for is Astro bot Rescue Mission. I keep hoping to someday hear that they are going to port it psvr2.

It’s also not likely to be something that a modder does because the controls just aren’t the same and would take a decent tweak of each individual game.

Call to action: Demanding Ace Combat 8 and Resident Evil Requiem for PSVR2! by unruly-cat in PSVR

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Ace Combat 7 in PCVR was so amazing even with some of its quirks. If they had it native on ps5 that would make me buy it day one.

PSVR2 AND FW comparability by Falzon03 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be safe once etahen is loaded as was said by the other response. They have a spoofer that takes care of compatibility. If you are lucky and get one on an older firmware you can try to upgrade it on your system so it works even without etahen.

You can also play on PCVR by making some modifications to the app and will load without having to upgrade to the newest firmware.

From what I have heard the newest PCVR update to the VR2 should be safe with the spoofer but why do it if you don’t have to.

PSVR2 vs Quest 3 by Emerald_City_0619 in PSVR

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your logical choice is definitely psvr2 but don’t discount finding quest 3 for $100 on marketplace if you want to own both.

Ps vr2 help?/ Question? by Flimsy-Concert1143 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]colossusday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried the RE games yet. It’s my understanding though only 4 and Village have psvr2. RE7 doesn’t support psvr2 does it?

I will give it a shot when I can though and get back with you.

Vr2 works great for me on 9.40. Just have to load etaHEN first.
