phantomptrandClaude Fable 5.1 07c8d64211 Auto-redeploy waits for a booting console; README/DISCLAIMER note how the project is built
The unattended helper restore pushed the helper as soon as :9021 answered, which on a
cold boot is before kstuff loads (FW 11.40 report: crash 3/3). It now waits 90 s after
the loader first appears. SPEC.md: fs.write/fs.mkdir ignore mode (both are 0777).

Disclaimer and Terms of Use

Please read this before using ps5upload.

1. Research and educational purpose only

ps5upload ("the Software") is provided solely for research, educational, interoperability, and homebrew development purposes. It is intended for use by developers, security researchers, and hobbyists studying the architecture and behaviour of console systems they personally own.

The Software is not a commercial product, is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc., Sony Group Corporation, or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. "PlayStation", "PS4", "PS5", and all related marks are trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc., used here only for identification and descriptive purposes under nominative fair use.

2. Modified consoles

The Software is designed to communicate with consoles running user-supplied code ("jailbroken", "modified", or "homebrew-enabled" consoles). You are solely responsible for the legality of modifying your device in your jurisdiction, and for obtaining and running any such modification. The Software does not provide, enable, distribute, or assist in obtaining any exploit, jailbreak, or method of circumventing technological protection measures.

3. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

4. Assumption of risk

Operating a modified console and running low-level code against it carries real and material risk. These risks include, without limitation:

  • permanent, unrecoverable damage to your console ("bricking");
  • irreversible loss of saved games, screenshots, captures, licences, and other data;
  • system instability, crashes, forced restarts, and data corruption;
  • suspension or permanent ban of your account and/or console from online services;
  • voiding of your manufacturer warranty.

You use the Software entirely at your own risk and accept full and sole responsibility for all consequences of doing so. By using the Software you acknowledge that you understand these risks and accept them. If you are not willing to lose your console, your data, and your account access, do not use the Software.

Back up anything you cannot afford to lose, before you begin.

5. No piracy

The Software must not be used to copy, distribute, download, install, or run any software, game, or content that you do not lawfully own or are not lawfully licensed to use. Circumventing copy protection for the purpose of infringing copyright is illegal in most jurisdictions.

The authors do not condone, support, or provide assistance with piracy in any form. Requests for such assistance will be refused. Using the Software for infringing purposes is a violation of these terms and is entirely the responsibility of the user who does so.

6. Your responsibility

By downloading, building, installing, or using the Software, you represent and warrant that:

  1. you own, or are otherwise fully authorised to modify and operate, any device you use the Software with;
  2. you will comply with all laws, regulations, and contractual terms applicable to you, including any terms of service you have agreed to with the device manufacturer or platform operator;
  3. you accept sole and complete responsibility for all actions you take using the Software and for all resulting consequences; and
  4. you will not hold the authors, contributors, or distributors of the Software liable for any loss or damage of any kind.

7. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the authors, contributors, and distributors of the Software from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your use or misuse of the Software or your violation of these terms.

8. Development process

The Software is developed with AI coding tools ("vibe-coded"), directed and tested by its maintainer. This is a deliberate choice to keep a fast development cycle and a short turnaround on bug reports, feature requests and enhancements. It also means the code has not received the extended, line-by-line human review that a conventionally written project of comparable size would. Releases are tested on real consoles before publication, but defects may remain. You accept the Software on that basis and use it at your own discretion.

9. Severability and governing terms

If any provision of this disclaimer is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remainder of this disclaimer remains in full force and effect.

This disclaimer supplements, and does not replace, the terms of the GNU General Public License v3.0 under which the Software is distributed. See LICENSE. Where this disclaimer and the licence differ on warranty and liability, the broader exclusion applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

10. If you do not agree

If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, do not download, build, install, or use the Software, and delete any copy in your possession.
