PS5 Directo

English · Español

An all-in-one Windows tool for jailbroken PS5 consoles: it downloads, converts and sends in a single step. Sent as is, files go to the console over FTP while they download, without storing them on your PC; or it converts them on the fly (LZ4, .exfat, folder, .ffpfsc…) as part of the same job, no second program needed. It extracts on the console (BFpilot) or on the PC (7-Zip), places apps in /data/homebrew so ShadowMountPlus shows them in the menu, and lets you browse your console's library with covers and control everything from your phone.

_{Demo with a sample homebrew app served from a NAS on the local network.}

⚡ One step instead of three tools

• ✅ Download and send at once: files go straight to the console while they download, nothing stored on your PC
• ✅ Or convert on the fly with PS5 Dump Forge (downloaded and updated automatically): folder, .exfat, LZ4, .ffpfsc, .ffpkg, .ffpfs or .fpkg, with a "Which one?" guide by need
• ✅ Any source: download links, ftp:// (e.g. a NAS), torrents (magnet or .torrent) or files and folders on your PC (drag and drop or "Send to")
• ✅ Extracts and places: joins split parts, extracts RAR, 7z, ZIP and tar on the console (BFpilot) or on the PC (7-Zip, CRC-checked), splits archives with a backport and places apps in /data/homebrew for ShadowMountPlus
• ✅ Reliable: pause, resume and retry where it left off, several connections per file, .sfv/.md5 checks, free-space watch and permission fixes (CE-107750-0)

📚 Your console from your PC and phone

• ✅ Library: covers, versions and required firmware for everything on the console, including images and installed PS4/PS5 content; flags what won't launch on your firmware, duplicates and broken folders, and links to each title's public update list
• ✅ On your PC: point it at your PC/NAS folders, see what's missing on the console and send it with one click
• ✅ Backup: saved data, ShadowMountPlus/payload settings and the app database copied to the PC, manually or daily; restore saved data to the same console
• ✅ Console files, Space and Captures: file browser (copy, move, rename, upload, download), storage chart with "Make room", and the console's screenshots and videos
• ✅ Phone and browser: use it from your phone with a QR code, and send links from your browser with the optional extension

🩺 When something goes wrong

• ✅ Diagnosis on failed transfers: cause, error codes and how to fix it
• ✅ Launch check: if an app closes on launch, it checks the folder (executable, permissions, firmware, backports, LZ4 packing) and shows recent logs and captures
• ✅ Problem report in one click (.zip, no passwords) to share when asking for help
• ✅ Warnings: your PS5 firmware always visible, speed-drop alerts, "Why is it slow?" network check, and it loads ftpsrv/BFpilot from the app
• ✅ Payloads on autopilot: with Payload Manager open on the console, it starts ftpsrv and BFpilot when they're missing, restarts them if they hang, installs them if needed and can add them to Payload Manager's autoload
• ✅ Self-updating, with a welcome window and a user guide, in English and Spanish

Requirements

• PC: Windows 10/11. Nothing else to install: the download includes everything it needs. Optional: 7-Zip, only if you want to extract on the PC instead of on the console.
• Mac (new, in testing — not tested on a real Mac yet, feedback welcome): macOS 11 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. Python and 7-Zip are included. Torrents need aria2 (brew install aria2).
• Linux (new, x86-64): any recent distro (glibc 2.35+, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04+). Python and 7-Zip are included. For the app window without tabs, Chrome, Chromium, Edge or Brave (otherwise it opens in your default browser). Torrents need aria2 (sudo apt install aria2).
• Jailbroken PS5:
  • An FTP server, for example ftpsrv on port 2121.
  • BFpilot on port 5905.
  • ShadowMountPlus.
  • Payloads can be loaded with ps5-payload-manager.

Getting started

1. Download PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Setup.exe from the latest release, open it and click Install. No admin rights needed, nothing else to install.
2. Open PS5 Directo from the desktop or the Start menu. The language follows Windows; switch it with the English / Español button at the top.
3. Follow the welcome guide, enter your PS5's IP in Settings, then paste links or drop files.

If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. The installer isn't signed (signing costs money); it's the usual warning for small free programs.

Rather not install? Download PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Windows.zip instead, extract it anywhere and run Crear accesos directos.bat. Both update themselves the same way.

Mac (in testing): download PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-macOS.dmg, open it and drag PS5 Directo into Applications. The app isn't signed by Apple, so the first time macOS blocks it: on macOS 15+ go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway; on older versions right-click the app → Open. It hasn't been tested on a real Mac yet: if something fails, click Create problem report in the program and attach it to an issue. Thanks!

Linux: download PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Linux.tar.gz, extract it anywhere (for example in your home folder) and open it once with ./ps5directo.sh in a terminal (or right-click → Run as a Program). That first time it adds PS5 Directo to your applications menu, so from then on you open it from there. It updates itself like on Windows.

About BFpilot and permissions: up to at least v0.4.4, BFpilot's archive extractor leaves files without the execute bit, so the PS5 refuses to launch them (CE-107750-0). This also happens when you extract from BFpilot's own web UI. PS5 Directo fixes it automatically after every extraction. For content you already have, use Settings → Fix permissions.

The full guide is in README_EN.txt (Spanish: LEEME.txt).

Publishing a release

Bump VERSION in app.py, add the notes to LEEME.txt / README_EN.txt, then push a tag (git tag v1.20.3 && git push --tags). The GitHub Action builds the installer PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Setup.exe, PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Windows.zip, PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Linux.tar.gz and PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-macOS.dmg (all with Python included; the Mac app is built and smoke-tested on a GitHub macOS runner) and creates the release. The installer script is installer/PS5Directo.iss (Inno Setup).

Herramienta todo en uno para Windows y PS5 con jailbreak: descarga, convierte y envía en un solo paso. Tal cual, los archivos van a la consola por FTP mientras se descargan, sin pasar por el disco del PC; o los convierte sobre la marcha (LZ4, .exfat, carpeta, .ffpfsc…) dentro del mismo trabajo, sin usar otro programa. Descomprime en la consola (BFpilot) o en el PC (7-Zip), coloca las aplicaciones en /data/homebrew para que ShadowMountPlus las muestre en el menú, y te deja ver la biblioteca de la consola con portadas y controlarlo todo desde el móvil.

Un programa en vez de tres: descarga y envío a la vez sin ocupar el PC, o conversión sobre la marcha (carpeta, .exfat, LZ4, .ffpfsc, .ffpkg, .ffpfs, .fpkg) con PS5 Dump Forge. Vale con enlaces, ftp://, torrents o archivos del PC; une partes, descomprime y lo deja colocado.

Tu consola desde el PC y el móvil: Biblioteca con portadas, versión y firmware (también lo instalado de PS4 y PS5), vista «En tu PC» para enviar lo que falta, copias de seguridad de partidas y ajustes, explorador de archivos, espacio, capturas y modo móvil con QR.

Cuando algo falla: diagnóstico de errores con causa y solución, «Comprobar» si algo se cierra al abrirlo, informe de fallo en un clic y avisos automáticos de versiones y de bajadas de velocidad.

Requisitos: Windows 10/11, sin instalar nada más: la descarga lo trae todo. Opcional: 7-Zip, solo si quieres descomprimir en el PC en vez de en la consola. En la PS5: servidor FTP (ftpsrv), BFpilot y ShadowMountPlus.

Cómo instalarlo:

1. Descarga PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Setup.exe de la última release, ábrelo y pulsa Instalar. No pide permisos de administrador ni hay que instalar nada más.
2. Abre PS5 Directo desde el escritorio o el menú Inicio.
3. Sigue la ventana de bienvenida y pon la IP de tu PS5 en Ajustes.

Si Windows dice «Windows protegió su PC», pulsa Más información → Ejecutar de todos modos (el instalador no está firmado, que cuesta dinero; es el aviso normal en programas pequeños y gratuitos). ¿Prefieres no instalar? Descarga el .zip, descomprímelo y ejecuta Crear accesos directos.bat. La guía completa está en LEEME.txt.

Mac (nuevo, en pruebas): descarga PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-macOS.dmg, ábrelo y arrastra PS5 Directo a Aplicaciones. No está firmada por Apple, así que la primera vez macOS la bloquea: en macOS 15 o posterior ve a Ajustes del Sistema → Privacidad y seguridad → Abrir igualmente; en versiones anteriores, clic derecho en la app → Abrir. Todavía no se ha podido probar en un Mac de verdad: si algo falla, pulsa Crear informe de fallo en el programa y adjúntalo en un aviso. ¡Gracias!

Linux (nuevo): descarga PS5Directo-X.Y.Z-Linux.tar.gz, descomprímelo donde quieras y ábrelo una vez con ./ps5directo.sh en una terminal (o clic derecho → Ejecutar como programa). Esa primera vez se añade solo al menú de aplicaciones, y desde entonces lo abres desde ahí. Trae Python y 7-Zip; para los torrents hace falta aria2 (sudo apt install aria2).
