00:00Hey how's it going guys, welcome back to another PS4 and PS5 jailbreak news update.

00:04We have a bunch of topics to dive into on the PS5, but one big one here for the PS4 just to start

00:10off with, and that is of course the new version of Gold Hen. There is a beta, a public beta that

00:16is currently available right now. You can join the Gold Hen Discord to be able to download the

00:21file for it. And this update provides a huge number of additional firmwares that are now

00:26supported with this version of Gold Hen, which is version 2.4b18.5. This particular version now has

00:33support from basically 5.05, 5.07, 6.71 and 6.72, along with all 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.x, which

00:44includes of course 11.02, 11.50 and 11.52 now supported with Gold Hen, and of course 12.0 and

00:5112.02 that were already supported. All of those firmwares are now supported with this current

00:56public beta. Now at the moment, the public beta is like a limited time. It's only accessible right

01:02now for 30 minutes, but it will likely end up in a full release fairly soon. Now probably the reason

01:07for the public beta is that with all of these additional firmwares now being added, we need a

01:12lot of people who are, you know, on all of these different firmwares to actually test it to see,

01:17you know, if there are any problems on certain firmwares with it not working correctly or certain

01:21features not working, crashes, instability issues, that kind of stuff, all needs to be worked out.

01:26And that is of course the purpose of these kinds of public beta tests. So give it a try on all of

01:31those different firmwares. If you're on an obscure firmware that now should have support for Gold Hen,

01:36definitely give this a try because we have so many new firmwares that are now supported,

01:41which is fantastic. There's also been some new features added in this new version, three new

01:46features. The first one is an improvement to the bin loader that runs on port 1990 that's now able

01:52to load elf files as well as bin files. There's also a time played option, game stats option now

01:58available. So if you go to any of your applications or games and press options and go to information,

02:03you will now see a time played at the top as well as game starts. So it counts the amount of time that

02:08you've spent on that application since running Gold Hen. And it also counts the number of game starts as

02:14well. So the number of times you've launched the application is now counted. So you've got game

02:19stats now showing up there as well. And the other feature of course in the Gold Hen settings is the

02:25date and time option. So if we go in here, you can update the date and time via the internet. You just

02:30select that option and it updates it using google.com. You can also change it if you're offline to a fake

02:36date of the 1st of January 2025. So if you can't sync online because you're keeping your console offline,

02:41you can instead just use that date instead, which is better than if your clock has been reset back to

02:481970, which happens if the CMOS battery dies in your PS4 and it's not able to

02:53keep the clock synced when power is cut to the console. Then whenever you reboot, it will reset the clock back to

03:001970. Now, as far as I'm aware, this is not a permanent fix for the kernel clock. The kernel clock, if it has been

03:07unsynced, this does not actually re-sync it properly. But what it does do is that it's a workaround, so that

03:13typically what you had to do before, if you were wanting the correct date and time, is that you'd have

03:18to go into the settings, to the date and time settings, and then enter the correct date and time. But then

03:24every time you reboot the console, if your CMOS battery had died, even if you've replaced it, if it died

03:29previously and you've replaced it with a working CMOS battery, it will still continuously reset back to

03:341970 every time you reboot the console, because it's not being properly synced with PSN, and there's

03:40no way to sync it with PSN right now if you're on an older firmware, because you need to be on the

03:45latest firmware to do that. So instead, what this does is it just basically does the same thing that

03:49you would do setting the clock manually. Instead, it can just do it online through the Google link

03:55instead, and it will set it for you so that you don't have to manually type it in every time you reboot

03:59the console, if your clock is constantly being reset. Plus you can also enable a auto update to

04:05the date and time on Goldhen startup, so that you don't have to come into this menu and update the

04:10date and time every time you reboot the system. It will just automatically run it as soon as you load

04:14Goldhen. So that's another handy feature that has been included in there for people who are having

04:19trouble with their clocks being reset due to a dead CMOS battery. So yeah, that is another handy

04:25feature that's been added there. But we may have to wait for the full release to get rid of this

04:30time limit that we have at the moment for the public beta. But again, that just might be the

04:35particular build that I downloaded at the time. Maybe there'll be other builds in the public beta

04:39that come out that do not have this time limit. And obviously, once the full release comes out or the

04:44full beta gets posted, it will no longer have that time limit applied. Okay, so moving on to some

04:49PS5 news now, we got this new $10,000 HackerOne report on PlayStation's HackerOne Bug Bounty

04:55program from SlidyBat. So unfortunately, I wasn't planning on covering this originally because

05:02of course, if the report's not from the flow, it's probably not going to get disclosed. We can see

05:07another report from SlidyBat that was 10 months old that was also $10,000 and still has not been

05:13made public. So that's why I normally don't kind of cover these particular things if it's not from the

05:19flow. However, the reason I'm covering it here is that there has been a lot of talk about this

05:23because of a post from Zekko, who said strong advice for those of you who are on firmwares

05:29between 10.20 and 11.60, pair your drive and wait, basically telling people to update to 11.60

05:36on a PS5 if you're waiting for a new jailbreak. He's saying if you basically have a console that

05:42does not have a paired disk drive, then you're not able to use any user land exploits at the moment

05:48because the only one that you have access to is the Lua exploit and the Lua exploit requires

05:53either you being on the latest firmware to get the demos or you having a paired disk drive so that you

05:58can get a physical disk version of the game that you can run in your console. And if you don't have

06:03that, then you have no way of actually running any future jailbreaks, any future kernel exploits that

06:07come out for the PS5. And that is the problem. So he's suggesting you just update. However, this was

06:13based on the idea that Slidybat's report is actually a kernel exploit that works up to 11.60 and will be

06:20patched in the upcoming 12.0 update that's currently in beta on the PS5 right now. However, that is not the

06:26case. As of course, Slidybat later clarified, saying that it's a bug that he reported almost a year ago and

06:33was fixed months ago. They just took forever to actually close slash payout. So nothing that would be

06:39interesting for new firmwares. Sorry to disappoint. It was likely patched before 11.60. So maybe not

06:45such a drastic need to update to 11.60 to pair your disk drive. Although Zeko is still recommending it

06:51here, saying that Slidybat's bug was patched before 12.0 or even 11.60. But he still thinks people should

06:58update to pair their drives before it's too late. And it is a bit of a dilemma if you are in that

07:02situation if you don't have a paired disk drive. Obviously, this does not apply to people who do have

07:07paired disk drives. But if you do not have a paired disk drive in your console, you're kind of in a

07:12kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't situation at the moment. It really depends whether

07:16or not a new WebKit exploit comes out first or if a new kernel exploit for 11.60 or higher comes out

07:24first. I think a new WebKit exploit or some kind of new user land exploit that doesn't require the disk

07:29drive is probably more likely to happen than a new kernel exploit on 11.60 or higher. But we just don't

07:36know for sure at the moment. So we can't really say one way or the other what the best option is

07:42here. You know, because normally we say stay on as low a firmware as possible. And that's great

07:46because new kernel exploits might come out for 10.60, 10.40, 11.0. And if you update to 11.60,

07:53you would lose access to those. But then if we don't have a WebKit exploit that comes out that you

07:58can then use to load those new kernel exploits that might come out on higher firmwares, then you're

08:03kind of screwed unless you have a paired disk drive you can use to trigger it with the Lua

08:08exploit instead. So that's kind of where the dilemma goes. Do you update to 11.60 just so that

08:13you can get the Lua exploit going? And at the same time, you can also download things like the Lua

08:17game demos and Okage Shadow King for the MasterCore exploit and get your console already with all of

08:23the user land exploits set up that you can potentially use for any new kernel exploits that

08:29come out in the future. Otherwise, you just stay on as low a firmware as possible and hope

08:33that a WebKit exploit comes out sometime soon that will then allow you to load any future jailbreaks

08:38using that instead. So that is pretty much the dilemma that some people are in if you do not have

08:44a paired disk drive. So next we have Lightning Mods who appears to be considering open sourcing

08:49ETA Hen in the next update. He says to like this tweet if you want to see a community driven version

08:54of open source homebrew enabler. And this would essentially allow a lot more developers to jump in

09:00and start working on ETA Hen to get to a point where we will hopefully see more updates happen

09:05for ETA Hen more frequently, more features being added, that kind of thing. So if you want to

09:11support that, then go ahead and like that tweet if you want to see ETA Hen get open sourced.

09:16So that is something that Lightning Mods appears to be considering quite seriously here. Okay,

09:20so moving on from that, we do have some other projects to talk about here. So we have this

09:24PS5 DLC toolchain from GADU or G-U-D-U-I. So basically this is designed to make it easier

09:32to patch your PS4 DLC because currently on the PS5 there's a problem with fake package DLCs.

09:40Your fake package PS4 games and PS4 fake package updates will install and run no problem on a

09:46jailbreakable PS5. But for some reason the DLC content does not. So any DLC packages you install,

09:52fake packages, you can install them. But when you run the game, the content, that DLC content will

09:58not actually appear and will not be accessible in game. So we have to use Idolsauce's DLC patcher to

10:04actually patch the DLC into the update file and that allows it to work. And that works for most

10:10DLC content for most PS4 games. However, it is a bit of an involved process. So this particular tool

10:16is designed to make it a little bit easier to use. All you really need to do is run the application

10:21and then give it the location of your fake package patch file and then the fake package base file.

10:27So the base package, the game package file, and then finally any DLC packages that you want to add.

10:33You then select that as the third option, all of the DLC that you want to pack inside the update file

10:39and then simply let it run. It will decrypt the executables and then patch them with the DLC patcher

10:44to load the DLC, repackage the update back into a package file that you can then install onto the

10:50game, which will then include all of the DLC as well as that update all included there. So that is

10:56pretty much how this works. It just makes it a lot easier because Idolsauce's original version

11:01required a few more extra steps that you had to do manually that this tool kind of automates now,

11:07which makes it a lot easier. Just pick the game and the patch package and then any DLC you want to add

11:11and it kind of handles the rest for you. Okay, so our final PS5 topic here is of course the

11:16lapse core project from D-Link Turtle, which aims to take the old MasterCore exploits that could be

11:21used to take the PlayStation 2 emulation in the PS5 and PS4, of course. And there's a game in there,

11:29Okage Shadow King, which has a save game exploit that could then be used to kind of break out of

11:33the emulator and use it to actually sideload other PlayStation 2 games. That's what MasterCore on its

11:39own was capable of. But now, of course, D-Link Turtle's trying to combine this exploit and use

11:44it as a userland exploit to then trigger the lapse kernel exploit. So that means if you have the game

11:49Okage Shadow King, which unfortunately is a digital only title that you would have had to have already

11:55purchased and licensed on your console before you took it offline and stayed on the older firmware.

12:00But, you know, if you were around in 2023, when I was originally covering the MasterCore

12:04exploit, you might happen to have a copy of this game, a working copy on your console. If you have

12:10a retail copy of this game, you might be able to use it soon to actually trigger the jailbreak.

12:14And the main updates on this is that it's now got Colonel Arbitry Read-Write added,

12:19and we actually got a screenshot from D-Link Turtle himself with the caption of

12:24Soon TM, and showing the PP pwned notification on the PS4,

12:28which would seem to indicate that he's actually got the exploit up and running here on the PS4,

12:36at least to the point of being able to actually, you know, get kernel access and get notifications

12:41going, which means that it's pretty much in the final stage at this point. So hopefully we might

12:46see a release coming fairly soon here. So that is the updates there. So anyway, guys, that's going

12:52to do it for me. So hope you guys enjoyed this video or found the information useful. If you did,

12:55please leave a like and subscribe. And once again, I'll hopefully see you guys in the next one.
