✨ Cover caching repair system
✨ Fullscreen screenshot galleries
✨ Rich game details ratings
✨ Grouped mirrors & version handling
✨ Library health & storage widgets
✨ Faster startup background workers
✨ Huge bug fixes & stability improvements
No more:
❌ stretched covers
❌ broken “1 2” mirror links
❌ raw JSON credits
❌ generic loading screens
Now supports:
🟣 Backports
🔵 Firmware tracking
🟡 DLC badges
🟢 Metadata enrichment
Optional metadata providers:
RAWG → IGDB → Steam fallback chain

Great news for PS5!
The talented Matteo has developed a port for Y2JB.
Just like LUA it crashes upon exit so the only use of it is unpatching BD-J
Up to 12.00 disc can now jailbreak without need of LUA games.
12.02 - 40 can also unpatch, not jailbreak

Been relying on voluntary testers but timezone gaps are making it tough to keep things moving. Trying to get my own PS4 with a Baikal southbridge so I can test locally. Any support is genuinely appreciated — but no pressure at all.

github.com/rmuxnet/ps4-linux…

✓ GPU framebuffer HDMI
✓ USB
✓ SATA (HDD BD)
✓ WiFi Bluetooth
✓ LED / Fan / Power
Huge thanks to everyone who sat through the debugging 🍓
I DID NOT SAY IT'S PERFECT. WE ARE GETTING THERE 😤.
still some dumb bugs. One console boots fine. Then others no. Fix those. The other one doesn't. Soo yeah. Too much tester variations. USB/SSD's soo logs aren't consistent.
Heads up.
Precompiled images will be released soon.
All this was done due to testers as i do not own a ps4 with baikal southbridge
If any issues occur. Any logs help.
Eitherway might continue support if i get baikal myself. ❤️
