PS3, PS4, PS5: where is the scene?
By Tgames · · 1 min read
The PlayStation scene advances in waves: a vulnerability discovered on a specific firmware, then tools that make it accessible. Here's what you need to know for each generation.
PS3: HEN for all, CFW for some
The PS3 is very open today. PS3HEN works on all models, including the newest: it activates after each startup and allows launching homebrews and saves of your games. Older models can receive true custom firmware (CFW), active permanently. Tools like webMAN MOD and multiMAN make the experience very comfortable.
PS4: everything depends on the firmware
On PS4, the possibilities depend on the system version. On compatible firmwares, tools like GoldHEN allow launching homebrews, cheats and saves of your games. The golden rule: don't update if you want to enjoy the scene, and check your version before anything.
PS5: a young scene
On PS5, vulnerabilities exist for certain firmware versions, but the possibilities remain more limited and reserved for experienced users. Here too, the system version is determining.
