PS5 Release: etaHEN 1.8b adds new “etaHEN Toolbox”

PS5 Developer LightningMods is on a roll. In parallel to ItemzFlow 1.7, the developer has just released an update to etaHEN. Version 1.8b improves stability of the popular Homebrew Enabler. It also replaces the “Debug Settings” with a more complete “etaHEN Toolbox”

If you’re looking for a Jailbreakable PS5:

Disclaimer: ebay links in this section are affiliate links. As an eBay partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase.

You’re looking for a PS5 with Firmware 4.51 or lower. Major retailers don’t sell those anymore, so you want to buy second-hand (eBay or equivalent).

• Hunt for either a “new in box” Launch Edition PS5  or “new in box” CFI-10xx (CFI-10xx are what you’re looking for, CFI-11xx are risky, CFI-12xx are no go),
  or
• Look for a used PS5 console where the seller can explicitly confirm the firmware. Sometimes searching for the exact firmware, e.g. PS5 4.03 can yield results. Always double check!!!
