A new update for PS5 Payload Web Server has been released , the payload, developed by developer John Törnblom , allows us to run a simple web server on the PlayStation 5 console .
This web server allows you to launch homebrew through the PS5’s built-in Webkit browser or remotely from a PC, smartphone, or other similar device.
The update introduces several new features, including automatic scanning of homebrew on external storage media, the ability to load homebrew as daemons, and an improved web interface with improved text handling in case of overflow.
Quick Guide
- To run ps5-payload-websrv , you need to first launch ps5-payload-elfldr and then load the payload as follows:
john@localhost:~ $ export PS5_HOST=ps5 john@localhost:~ $ wget -q -O - https://github.com/ps5-payload-dev/websrv/releases/download/v0.3/Payload.zip | gunzip -c -d | nc -q0 $PS5_HOST 9021
Interacting with ps5-payload-websrv
To interact with ps5-payload-websrv , you can either install the Launcher PKG on your PS5 or access your browser to use one of the available services. Here are some examples:
- Launch Homebrew : http://ps5:8080/index.html
- Exploring the File System (html) : http://ps5:8080/fs/
- Exploring the File System (json) : http://ps5:8080/fs/?fmt=json
- Download a File : http://ps5:8080/fs/system_ex/app/NPXS40028/redis.conf
Homebrew Installation
The web server looks for homebrews in the directory /data/homebrewand assumes a certain file structure. For example, assuming you have a homebrew called “MyHomebrew”, the loader expects the following files to exist:
/data/homebrew/MyHomebrew/eboot.elf: Payload to execute, compiled with ps5-payload-sdk ./data/homebrew/MyHomebrew/sce_sys/icon0.png: An icon to display in/index.html.
You can also add custom UI extensions by specifying a JavaScript file called:
/data/homebrew/MyHomebrew/homebrew.js
This is useful when the payload accepts multiple command line options, such as an emulator that expects arguments for loading ROMs. An example of the capabilities available can be seen here: Homebrew Demo .
