Test builds of PS5SX2, a port of the PCSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator to jailbroken PS5 consoles, made by Spyros (Discord sword.pdf, X @sword_pdf) as a passion project.
These are builds for the testers. Every build shows a TESTING watermark and keeps detailed logs, so
problems can be found and fixed. Each build is a release: the release's zip holds the
two folders below plus SETUP.txt, the full setup guide.
| Folder | Copy it to |
|---|---|
PPSA99203/ |
/data/homebrew/PPSA99203/ (the app) |
PCSX2/ |
/data/PCSX2/ (its data: shaders, the game database, switches, tested games' settings and patches) |
You also need a jailbroken PS5 with kstuff, the PS5SX2 Helper payload (from Spyros on Discord), ShadowMountPlus loaded at every boot (it mounts PS5SX2 and puts it on the home screen), your own PS2 BIOS dumped from your own PS2, and your own games. No BIOS, games or keys are included.
Follow SETUP.txt for the first install: the whitelist line, the restart, and where the BIOS and the games go.
Close PS5SX2, then replace only /data/homebrew/PPSA99203/eboot.bin. Keep your /data/PCSX2 folder: your
settings, memory cards and save states are in it.
On the settings page (scan the QR code on the shelf), write a short note under "Report a problem", then tap "Download logs" and post the file in Discord with the game's name and what happened.
