The developer Sleirsgovy recently announced significant updates for the payload ps5-kstuff, introducing several features and improvements.
One of the main new features is the update for firmware support without dlsym, thanks to the introduction of crt-elf-ps5, which allows execution on firmware 5.xx where dlsymIt doesn’t work. This change improves payload compatibility on different versions of the system.
In addition, with the commit of September 27, 2024, a feature was implemented that considers the topic “dlsym” as an entrypoint of syscall, allowing the system to operate even in environments that do not support this function.
Another interesting addition is the new payload called “pldldr”, which listens on port 9019 and receives payload in PLD format, thus expanding the system’s capabilities to manage payloads more flexibly.
Sleirsgoevy also included a new library, the ps5+frankenelf, which offers additional features and support for development on PlayStation 5 consoles.
Finally, an optimization of performance was attempted, but it turned out that the code “optimized” was actually slower. Despite this, the optimized code has been maintained, but commented, for future reference.
In short, we are preparing for the big leap, and it is likely that not much is missing.
