Based on this list, it looks like you have to be sitting on a 2022 or earlier non-updated PS5 to have a chance at the 4.51 or lower firmware to use this. A chance it'll open up to other firmwares and as said maybe there's a limited functionality 5.xx exploit on the horizon, but just a bit of reality before you get too excited.
Didn't the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn't be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony's key would have their lawyers after you real quick.
I wonder what would happen if people started mass posting the key like they did with the DVD DRM keys back in the day, though I'm sure the industry would be much more aggro these days
Ooh, that might mean that I can pick up a Pro down the line and mod that too.
