Hey everyone! A lot has changed since I posted PS5 Directo 2.0, so here's what's new up to 2.0.4. New here? What PS5 Directo is It's a free, open-source app for Windows, Mac and Linux (plus a phone app) that manages your jailbroken PS5 from your computer. It's not just an uploader that sends files you already have: It starts from a link. Paste a download link, a torrent or a folder on your PC. It downloads, sends to the PS5 at the same time, extracts on the console or the PC, fixes permissions and leaves it ready for ShadowMountPlus. One step instead of five. It makes titles smaller by converting them to LZ4 or zstd on the way. It installs and updates your homebrew: emulators, apps and payloads in one click, with their notes translated. It looks after the console: library with covers, file manager, space cleanup and a guard against system updates. What you need: a jailbroken PS5 on the same network as your PC, with an FTP server (ftpsrv), BFpilot and ShadowMountPlus loaded. PS5 Directo checks them and tells you what's missing. What's new since 2.0 📦 Smaller titles, converted wherever you want. In "Format on the PS5" you choose LZ4 or zstd (26 GB → 11 GB in my test) and then where it gets converted: On your PC, with the latest PS5 Dump Forge (updates itself). It downloads, converts on your PC and sends the PS5 the already smaller title. On the PS5, with Alembic (new, experimental). It downloads and sends at the same time without touching your PC's disk, and when the transfer ends the console converts it by itself. If Alembic isn't loaded, PS5 Directo loads it for you. You can also convert titles you already have on your PC without sending them. 🎮 New emulators and apps, installed in one click. Switch 2: the two latest emulators, EglantinePS5 (you can pick which build) and the brand-new PS5 Lichii, which runs best on PS5 Pro. PS2: PS5SX2 can now boot original PS2 discs from the console's drive (beta). Retro: Retro Papa, a native launcher for NES, SNES, Mega Drive, PS1 and arcade. Also new: the native DOOM port, DualSense Overlay, Alembic and Prospero Manager. Plus the whole RecompStore PS5 catalog with real covers. Anything with a GitHub page installs in one click. Community patches for your titles (more fps, higher resolution) with ps-patch-system and NeoEnabler, also one click. A scene news banner in Discover updates itself every few hours, so new releases show up without waiting for a new version of the app. 🔄 Everything updates in one click. Emulators, apps and payloads tell you when there's a new version and show "What's new", translated. ShadowMountPlus, ftpsrv & co. install straight from GitHub into Payload Manager and replace the old one in your autoload. PS5 Directo itself downloads its update in the background and you just hit "Restart now". ⚡ Faster, steadier downloads and transfers. Up to 16 connections that adapt to what the server allows, resume where they left off, and slow connections get swapped automatically. Updating big apps like RetroArch on the console is now several times faster. 🖥️ Play on your PC and run Linux on the PS5. There's a step-by-step Remote Play setup that ends with "Play on PC" opening chiaki-ng straight into your PS5. Separate wizards install Ubuntu, Bazzite or MihawkOS on the PS5. 🛡️ Your jailbreak stays safe. With 14.22 just out: if the console downloads a system update, PS5 Directo warns you so you can remove it before it installs, and it can stop YouTube from updating if you use Y2JB. Also: a new look with line icons and smooth animations, a notification on the PS5 screen when a transfer finishes, M.2 drives in the Library, and a 12-card tour of everything it does (images above). Download (and more changelog): https://github.com/jstrdev/ps5directo/releases No Sony keys or servers and no payload of its own: it drives community tools (ftpsrv, BFpilot, Payload Manager, Dump Forge, Alembic). Use it at your own responsibility. What should I add next? I read every comment 🙂   submitted by   /u/danisimo1 [link]   [comments]
