Developer LightningMods has released a Beta version of etaHEN 2.0. This new release adds a new Cheat support (similar to what we have with GoldHEN on PS4), as well as bug fixes. If you have a hackable PS5 model that supports etaHEN (currently, from Firmwares 1.00 to 5.50), you’ll probably want to give it a try. Keep in mind that this is a beta and a few things probably still need to be ironed out.
What is etaHEN for PS5?
EtaHEN is a payload that runs on a Jailbroken PS5, and basically acts as a Custom Firmware for the PS5. EtaHEN leverages lower-level exploits and utilities (depending on your Firmware, either Byepervisor or ps5-kstuff), in order, among other things, to run PS5 Apps. This includes Homebrew, but also PS5 “backups”, aka decrypted PS5 games.
EtaHEN also has support for runtime patches and mods (such as 60 FPS Mods by Illusion), and other QoL improvements such as Debug Settings menu and the like. It is somewhat comparable to GoldHEN on the PS4, although with less features for now. But that number has been growing steadily since its inception.
It is also well integrated with LightningMods’ Itemzflow, a really nice looking interface that lets you display and run PS5 Homebrew and backups, as well as PS4 games.
EtaHEN 2.0. What’s new?
Although there isn’t an official list of changes yet, here’s what LightningMods wants people to focus on during this beta test:
- Cheats (MC4, Json, SHN)
- Open a game then go to Toolbox -> Cheat (WIP)
- Toolbox improvements

In particular, the developer has stated that toolbox has had bug fixes in it, and it particular it shouldn’t freeze anymore.
etaHEN 2.0 – Download and install
You’ll need of course a Jailbroken PS5 in order to run etaHEN, specifically, it needs to be on Firmwares 1.00 up to 5.50 included. What you can do with etaHEN heavily depends on the underlying exploit you’re running, and whether or not your Firmware supports Byepervisor (firmware 2.70 and below) or ps5-kstuff (Firmwares 4.51 and below). Basically 4.51 and below are typically recommended.
To download and run etaHEN 2.0 beta, go to LightningMods’ Discord server and follow the instructions in the pinned message.
Alternatively, wait a few more days for the official release of etaHEN 2.0
