when will pirate games work?

There has been a great controversy for years about Homebrew, that is, hackers with high knowledge of computer systems seeking access to closed systems. The most famous are those that allow you to install applications without going through the official Apple store. Normally, they used to be called hacks colloquially or “jaqueos” in honor of the English verb “to hack”, but it was after breaking the protection of the first iPhone that it was given the name of Jailbreak.

How have they managed to jailbreak the PS5?

Yes, and it seems that affects console firmware 4.03, has a vulnerability in its security that has been used to jailbreak the PS5. Specific, this is a WebKit engine vulnerability, which is what the console uses to display its interface. This is the same technology used in web browsers such as Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’s current Edge, and so on. Today it is also used for the user interfaces of consoles such as PS5 and Nintendo Switch and is the reason why both consoles do not have full browsers.

However, if what you are looking for is to place pirated copies of the games, let us tell you that the console is not 100% hacked, but it is just one more step of the many that have to be taken. At the moment they have managed to read and write information to the console’s memory, but they still do not have execution permissions. That is, they have been able to install applications on the PS5 with the Jailbreak, but they still do not know how to make the console run them.

In any case, it is not something stable and it tends to fail a lot, but you have to remember that the reason why there is a motivation to do this is to be able to create and run applications freely in the self-created console. One clever way Microsoft has had to stop it with its Xbox is with the console’s developer mode. If SONY did the same, attempts to homebrew their console would be limited to piracy and would no longer have an ethical justification.

Is it worth hacking a console?

Do not deny it, at least in our country we have all had a pirated console in one way or another at some point in our lives. However, with the new consoles, hacking them poses the danger of becoming a paperweight. This is due to the fact that they are fully monitored over the internet for continuous updates, not only of the system itself, but also patches for the games.

These consoles are completely disconnected by the manufacturer, suddenly you can find that you can no longer buy games from the digital store or you can not play online.

Not surprisingly, it is a problem that SONY has to solve on its consoles, which is where you end up finding the most cheaters.

So no, as you may find that unbeknownst to you and a simple installation it becomes completely unusable due to the fact that the manufacturer has sent an update of death to your hacked console.
