ESP32-S3 N16/R8 host with UMTX2 and Admin File Manager for PS5 (v2.0.1)

Get the latest build in Releases.

PS5_EZ_Host is a self-contained, offline host for PlayStation 5 firmwares 1.xx–5.xx, built on UMTX2 and tuned for ESP32-S3 (16 MB).

Why 2.0.1? This is a complete rewrite focused on speed and reliability.

• ~38× faster payload uploads over Wi-Fi (e.g., 1.4 MB in ~22 s on the same hardware).
• User Guide redirect supported (see notes below).
• One-click flashing via Auto_flash.exe—no NodeMCU.

• Clean two-stage UMTX2 UI (launch → payloads).
• Admin Manager at http://10.1.1.1/admin — upload, download, delete; slim progress bar during uploads.
• Ships with 14 payloads, including kstuff v1.6.1 (DLC fix).
• ~5.5 MB free out of the box; gzip payloads to free more space.
• bypervisor included only for 1.xx–2.xx (others may delete).
• Works fully offline**.

1. Download the latest release (includes Auto_flash.exe and image).
2. Connect your ESP32-S3 N16/R8 by USB.
3. Run Auto_flash.exe. It auto-detects the COM port and flashes automatically.

On the PS5:

1. Go to Settings → Network → Settings → Set Up Internet Connection.

2. Find PS5_EZ_Host. Press Options on the controller and choose 2.4 GHz.

   If you skip this, the SSID may not appear.

3. Connect (open network, no password).

Now:

• Open http://10.1.1.1 on the PS5 to use the host.
• Visit http://10.1.1.1/admin from a PC on the same Wi-Fi to manage payloads.

• Open Settings → User Guide to launch the host directly.
• You will see a certificate warning the first time—accept it.
• The User Guide browser is slower; after jailbreaking, installing a browser PKG is recommended for faster navigation.
• You can always use http://10.1.1.1 directly.

Open http://10.1.1.1/admin on a PC:

• Choose File → Upload a payload (.bin/.elf or gzipped variants). The progress bar shows transfer progress; the page refreshes after completion.
• Download/Delete to manage files.

Use this to rename buttons, change descriptions, add/remove entries, or change order:

1. In /admin, Download payload_map.js.

2. Edit in a text editor. For each entry:

   • displayTitle — button label on the main screen.

   • description, author, version — text shown in details.

   • fileName — just the filename you uploaded (e.g., kstuff.elf, etaHEN-2.3B.bin).

     No path editing is required; upload the file and set its filename here.

3. Upload the modified payload_map.js back via /admin and refresh http://10.1.1.1. On PS5, press ◯ or refresh the page via the refresh button.

Tip: To save space, upload gzip versions (.bin.gz/.elf.gz) where available.

• First use: reach the host via User Guide (accept certificate) or http://10.1.1.1.
• After jailbreak: use a browser PKG for faster load times.
• Remove payloads you don’t use. If you’re not on 1.xx–2.xx, you can delete bypervisor.

• Hardware: ESP32-S3, 16 MB flash (N16/R8).
• PS5 firmware: 1.xx–5.xx.
• Network: offline AP, open.
