Recently PS5Scene game dumper @BedroZen on Twitter called out scene group DUPLEX for 'no honor among thieves' proclaiming they're copying his releases and dumping PlayStation 5 titles he tested first... although @BedroZen previously notes, "I don't have access to the EU versions but Duplex seems to be fulfilling that portion" as dumps from different regions contain varying assets, languages, sizes, etc.

In response, DUPLEX has been including images of the 'source' PS5 game discs used in their PS5 NFOs stating, "We dump our own discs ... so plz stfu" to avoid their releases being nuked by siteops over the PlayStation 5 Scene Rules currently in place (albeit outdated, as the acceptable Image Format doesn't explicitly cover Game File Dumps... only iSO Image format for Discs and PKG Format releases for PSN Titles, Updates and DLC.

So where does the PS5 Scene go from here?

Hopefully to a standardized PS5 Fake PKG format once @flatz documents and publicly discloses working PS5 FPKG Support methods (mentioned HERE) similar to his Method to Handle PS4 Fake PKGs & SELF / FSELF Write-up in the PS4 Scene.

Until then, it...

Since yesterday's backported Don't Starve Together: Console Edition PS4 FPKG by @opoisso893 on Twitter comes some more new PS4 Game FPKGs and Dumped PS5 Games for both the PS4Scene and PS5Scene to check out.

Here are the release details from the ongoing discussion topics for Verified Members (Verification Guide) with related Tweets:

Recently @BedroZen on Twitter made available a Backported PS5 Game backup of Asterix & Obelix XXXL: The Ram From Hibernia which normally requires 5.00 Firmware that now works on 4.xx Firmware crediting @EchoStretch on Twitter for modifying a leaked 'decrypted' pre-release PS5 Debug Package build... however, before getting too excited @zecoxao on Twitter reminds the PS5 Scene it was easily extracted because the modules are fake signed and not really encrypted (so won't work on Retail games) with @CrazyVoid on Twitter adding that in contrast to the PS4 Scene, PS5 Keysets aren't available yet outside of private groups ...meaning PS5 Backporters will have to wait awhile longer unless more PlayStation 5 Testkit / Devkit QA PKGs surface similar to the PlayStation 4 Testkit / Devkit QA PKGs that were previously leaked.

For those just joining us, this news of PS5 Game Backup Backports comes proceeding the PS4 BCP Method Backporting PS4 PKGs, PS4 Backporting Instructions, More PS4 Games Backported to PS4 FPKGs, PS5 Game Backups (File Dumps) Playable and...

As always, DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS5 Game Backups and PlayStation 5 homebrew apps, emulators, etc whenever a full PS5 Jailbreak Exploit (PS5Jailbreak Status) in the PS5Scene becomes publicly available... or testing PS5 Game Backup File Dumps and PS4 Fake PKGs (FPKGs) on PS5 with PS5 Hacked consoles using the PS5 4.03 HEN PS4 FPKG Enabler, PS5 4.50 HEN PS4 FPKG Enabler or PS5 4.51 HEN PS4 FPKG Enabler payloads or others using the PS5 Kstuff Porting Tool.
