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.

In the new release, the payload has been improved to handle some fatal signals by printing a backtrace to /dev/klog, fixed the handling of HTTP POST requests sent to address /elfldr, and was recompiled using the latest SDK, which includes support for 8.xx, 9.xx, and 10.0x firmware offsets.

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

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 .
