The Simpsons Game on jailbroken PS5: the native port arrives, in 4K at 60 fps

The 2007 Simpsons game runs natively on a jailbroken PS5: a tool turns your Xbox 360 copy into a PS5 game, based on the recompiled PC port.


From a PC port to the PS5

The Simpsons Game Recompiled, by YesterMester, is a native PC port of the 2007 Xbox 360 game: the game’s code was recompiled for today’s processors with ReXGlue, the tool behind the wave of ports we told you about in this article. It runs on Linux, Steam Deck and Windows. Version 0.0.6.5 (10 October) uncaps the frame rate in levels, and 0.0.6.4 had added an experimental Direct3D 11 renderer, a free camera and a photo mode.

The same day, LoZazaMastro released the first public version (3.10.6) of The Simpsons Game PS5 Builder: a Windows 11 program that turns your own Xbox 360 copy (ISO, XISO or extracted folder) into a PS5 game folder, named PPSA74207.

• Default settings: 4K output, ×3 internal resolution, 60 frames per second in game, 120 Hz, FSR 1 and FXAA.
• An in-game quick menu with L1 + R1 + Options (brightness, contrast, vertical sync…).
• Experimental frame generation, which requires your own file Lossless.dll from the paid PC software Lossless Scaling.
• All regional versions are accepted; the available languages depend on your disc.

You then copy the folder to /data/homebrew/PPSA74207 and mount it with ShadowMountPlus. The project does not specify a firmware range: you need a jailbroken PS5 that runs native homebrew. It is licensed under GPL v3 and contains no game files.


Good to know

The project is very young and maintained by a single developer: expect bugs. To copy your Xbox 360 disc, see our tutorial. Other Xbox 360 games have taken the same path, such as The Darkness.
