PlayStation 5 jailbreak tools expand alongside Zune HD Mario 64 port

The PlayStation 5 homebrew and jailbreak scene has seen a significant surge in tool releases on GitHub. Recent updates include new kernel exploits, payload loaders, and utilities for file management, such as PS5GFC for game dump conversion and ps5upload for high-speed file transfers. Developers have also released tools to expand hardware functionality, including AirPlay support, temperature and fan control via web interfaces, and the ability to connect various third-party controllers like Xbox and Switch pads to the console.

Emulation capabilities for the PS5 are also expanding with the release of ports for the PSP emulator PPSSPP, the PS1 emulator SwanStation, and the action RPG DevilutionX. Additionally, developers have introduced tools to manage PS4 content on the PS5 and utilities to use the PS5 HD camera as a webcam on various operating systems.

In separate hardware modding news, a developer has successfully ported Super Mario 64 to the Microsoft Zune HD. Using the sm64ex version of the game, the mod allows the discontinued 2009 media player to run the classic title at near-full speed with touch controls and save functionality.
