This is a debugger for the PlayStation 5. Yes that's right!

The API is unchanged from ps4debug, so libdebug should still work.

Latest version: v1.0b2

⚠️ Warnings

ps5debug is currently an experimental beta and not everything works. Please use it with caution. Please report any issues to the GoldHEN Discord.
