Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Q: Will higher >=6.50 firmwares be supported?

A: No. Becuase there is no HV exploit on those firmwares.

Q: Why can I not use M.2 on 3.xx?

A: Because the PS5 fails to boot with it attached.

Q: Can I dual-boot Linux and PS5 OS?

A: No, this is a soft-mod. You need to re-run the exploit in order to boot into Linux.

Q: Can I put Linux into standby and resume?

A: No, this is not supported. We may however add a shutdown feature that puts your PS5 into rest-mode allowing you to relaunch Linux when powering up again.

Q: Can I continue using my PS5 if I install Linux?

A: Yes, the internal SSD is not modified

Q: Can I use the PS5's NIC/WLAN module in Linux?

A: In theory yes, but someone needs to write or adapt drivers to use them.

Q: Does the DualSense controller work?

A: Via a Bluetooth dongle. Built-in Bluetooth is not yet supported.

Q: What resolutions and refresh rates are supported?

A: 1080p, 1440p and 2160p at 60Hz are broadly supported. 1440p@120Hz has been the only confirmed working on the DELL S3225QC yet. 120Hz or 30Hz may be added in the future.

Q: After reboot, I get a "Repairing" screen and "Your PS5 wasn't turned off properly." screen. Is that normal?

A: Yes, and it's harmless.
