Comment on Sony PS5 ROM keys leaked – jailbreaking could be made easier with BootROM codes

Comments

... you mean every PS still uses the same key?

I've been firmly convinced for a while now that Sony purposely doesn't discourage jailbreakers too strongly. They quietly win loyalty by being just a little friendlier than Nintendo.

Odds are the Japanese leadership in charge of the hardware can't use a computer, so doesn't understand them.

There's a bunch of keys. Some are in mask rom, and would be incredibly expensive to make different per console.
