The inevitable happened: someone was able to jailbreak a Playstation 5and curiously after that he has managed to install PT, the legendary Silent Hill game that never went beyond being a limited demo for PS4. But the feat was limited by an unexpected problem.
The PS5 is one of the most spectacular consoles that exist in the current generation, however, whether we like it or not, a reality is that its catalog of games is not as extensive or attractive as with the systems of past generations.
So this has also prompted the modding community to play with the software of this device to better understand its digital architecture and security.
With all Sony systems it has taken a long time, but finally ways have been found to break their locks so that all kinds of software, legal or not, can be installed.
So the current situation with the PlayStation 5 seems to have led to speeding up the process and someone was finally able to find a way to bypass the crashes on the computer.
Modder breaks locks on the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and obviously installs the Silent Hill PT
Over the last few hours, a situation of emotion and uncertainty has been experienced among the modder community focused on the PlayStation 5.
All because someone has found a way to jailbreak the system to bypass all software locks. And there are already several users who have taken advantage of the passageway to try how does it work:
As we can read in the tweets, the Webkit vulnerability is used for consoles that have Firmware 4.03 or lower and from there a Kernel exploit is applied that opens up the possibilities of configuring the device.
For those confused, strictly speaking, a jailbreak is basically a hacking and hacking technique that is often done on smartphones and other electronic devices. With which it is possible to unlock debugging menus and allow the use of software not compatible with the current firmware.
That is why these modders had the idea of installing the legendary PT, that demo of the canceled Silent Hills game, which would be produced jointly by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.
So now there are PS5 consoles in the world where the demo can be installed, but it is impossible to run the game.
That is a riddle that has not yet been cracked. But it would be a matter of very little time for someone to figure out how to do it.
