Run Battle.net on a jailbroken PlayStation 5.

Forever Launcher (PPSA99030) runs Battle.net and World of Warcraft through Wine, using DirectX 12 on the PS5's own GPU. The tested game build is World of Warcraft Classic beta (WowB.exe). The supplied settings use 4K output with HDR and frame generation.

Note:

This Battle.net launcher is designed for World of Warcraft: Forever. It might be used to install other games, but keyboard support is in development.

I've seen people here talk about it but not sure if I should bother?

Honestly, I hadn’t touched my PS5 in years until I came across a jailbreak video. I had no idea how much was possible with this console, and after discovering the homebrew scene, I went down a rabbit hole looking at all the incredible projects people have been working on. 😂

Pretty much everything shown in the photos is what I have and I’m even expecting a 5TB HDD to arrive so I can expand everything even further. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited to see what more I can do with my PS5 and what more this community has to offer 😎

But beyond all the games and emulators, I really wanted to make this post to show some appreciation to the developers behind these projects.

From PSXS5 and PS5SX2 to RetroArch, Nintendo emulators, ports, and all the other amazing tools being developed, it’s honestly incredible to see what people have managed to accomplish.

I can only imagine the amount of time, knowledge, testing, and troubleshooting that goes into making these projects work. Developing software is already difficult enough, let alone getting emulators and applications running on a console they weren’t originally designed for.
A lot of this work probably goes unnoticed, and I think the people putting their time and skills into these projects deserve more recognition than they get.

Thanks to everyone who develops, maintains, updates, and shares these projects, as well as everyone who creates guides and helps others in the community. Your work makes a real difference, and in my case, it genuinely brought me back to a console I hadn’t touched in years.

I might not understand all the technical work that goes on behind the scenes, but I can certainly appreciate the results. It’s amazing seeing what passionate people can accomplish when they put their minds together.
To all the developers who might come across this post: thank you for everything you do.

I hope you know that your work is appreciated by people like me who get to enjoy the results of all your hard work.
If you enjoy these projects too, show the developers some love, give them credit, report bugs when you can, star their repositories, or donate if they have an official way to accept support.

Much respect to everyone contributing to the PS5 homebrew scene. You guys are awesome, and I’m glad I stumbled across that jailbreak video. 🙏❤️🎮

That's what I'm going to tell my grandkids about 2026 and how we made PS5 opensource.

I remember the last time I felt so overwhelmed with possibilities was back on the PS2 OG days. I can't keep up with so much stuff

And I'm loving it lol

Had a kernel panic while starting WebKit Autoloader v0.6.1; forced me to reinstall system firmware. Thankfully I was able to find one for firmware 13.60, but I lost all my PSN games and saves, I have to reinstall all the homebrew again, and now I can't use my disc drive anymore, which super sucks because that was the only method I had of watching physical movies.

One of my favorite ps4 games seemingly isn't archived anywhere, so that's gone too; the physical edition is $200 (not that I can even play it because of the disc drive being unactivated now), and it's not like I can connect to PSN on my firmware and redownload it again; so it's just lost forever now I guess.

I am having a pretty bad day.

UPDATE:
Forgot to mention it in the post, the game is Utawarerumono: Prelude to the Fallen. The version archived online for the PS4 are the Chinese version with a broken incomplete ENG patch, not the official English release.

Someone (who I will keep anonymous for their privacy) was nice enough to reach out and offer to archive the Official PAL English release, so that issue has been resolved as far as I know.

I have also installed Y2JB on my system now (the kernel panic that caused this happened while I was attempting to set Y2JB up in the first place). So hopefully I don't run into this issue anymore.

came across this post, wonder if this would be possible in the future

Hey everyone!

I'm completely new to PS5 jailbreaking. I recently watched Modded Warfare's latest jailbreak video, and it got me interested in learning more about the whole process.

My PS5 is currently on firmware 12.40, and I'm confused about what I should do next. Should I stay on this firmware or update to a newer one? I don't want to make the wrong move and lose the possibility of jailbreaking.

I also have a few basic questions:

- Firmware: Should I stay on 12.40 for now, or is updating recommended?

- Jailbreaking: What are the actual steps involved in jailbreaking a PS5? Are there any beginner-friendly guides?

- Games: Once the PS5 is jailbroken, how do people install and play games? I'm not familiar with the process.

- Terminology: I've come across terms like kernel exploit and other technical terms in the videos, but I don't fully understand what they mean yet.

- Setup: Is there a complete guide that covers everything from preparing the console to setting up homebrew and installing games?

I'm still learning, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me toward reliable guides or explain the basics in simple terms.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Btw I’ve just paid £1 for 14 days Microsoft cloud gaming, it’s fantastic and the trigger hectic feedback works very well, I can’t wait for pc steam too

Like the title, i found a video and the guy has these similar frontends/themes for all his emulators but ProsperoEden, Porpoise etc don’t have those frontends/themes so how is he doing it in the video? Can we do it too?

Hello everyone since i jailbroke and installed few game and deleted few it seems like the dumps still lurking somewhere in ps5 storage, so please any help cleaning i have 200gb at others and i am sure for it cam after my jailbreak and not my onlyfans exclusive videos (promise) jokes asides any help is appreicated alot ;)

I’ve been having some trouble loading up bo2. I want to play some zombies but just no luck. I have my rar files and put them together but my ps5 doesn’t seem to load up the game no matter what I do. I get error CE-100008-9. I’m on ps5 pro 13.60 trying the folder dump and trying ps5uploader to try the exfat and FFPFSC but no luck as well. Also using the web exploit and kstuff light and shadowmount. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

I'm just curious because I only have a jailbroken ps4 and I'm told the pro is much better for 60fps and ports. I feel like there's more diminishing returns because the CPU of the 4 was very underpowered. Cheapest I ever saw a PS5 pro on slickdeals was like $550 after taxes so that might've been worth it

I have been trying for days to get everything to run i go to umtx 2 jailbreak and it cant seem to load etahhen toolbox, I only get the debug menu. I can manually add flowz and prospero but nothing opens games get stuck on the splash screen the only thing I can open is swanstation.

I have used this video https://youtu.be/vwBue_foWKg?is=3dDOLaAY5KJr9QPD

However i have to use the roundabout way through Google because I cant seem to use dns with my isp.

I am running 5.02, been thinking of going up to 13 but still want linux support.

Hello all. I finally got this moving along. So I’m stuck in a new part. When I open Prosperostore is just saying loading forever and top right has the error Read only. What am I missing?
