PS5 Lua Autoloader

Fork of remote_lua_loader

Automatically loads your .elf, .bin and .lua payloads.
Supports PS5 firmwares up to 10.01.

Other Autoloaders:
PS5 Y2JB Autoloader | PS5 BD-JB Autoloader

How to use

There are two ways to use the autoloader:

🟢 Option 1: Payload Manager

If no autoload.txt config is found, the autoloader will automatically launch Payload Manager — a fully-featured PS5 payload manager with a web UI. This lets you configure and send payloads directly from your browser, without needing to manually set up config files or transfer ELF files ahead of time.

Just run the autoloader — if there's nothing configured, Payload Manager starts automatically.

Note: Payload Manager also has its own built-in autoload feature, which lets you configure payloads to load automatically on startup — all managed through its web UI. This is separate from the autoload.txt mechanism described below.

⚙️ Option 2: Manual Config (autoload.txt)

For a fixed, automated payload chain, you can configure payloads manually:

• Create a directory named ps5_autoloader.
• Inside this directory, place your .elf / .bin files, and an autoload.txt file.
  • In autoload.txt, list the files you want to load (one per line).
  • Filenames are case-sensitive - make sure the names exactly match your files.
  • You can add lines like !1000 to make the loader wait 1000ms before sending the next payload.
• Put the ps5_autoloader directory in one of these locations:
  • In the root of a USB drive
  • In the internal drive at /data/ps5_autoloader
• Import savedata to your game:
  Follow the steps in SETUP.md to prepare and import the savedata for your Lua-compatible game.

Note: When an autoload.txt config is found, Payload Manager is not launched automatically. If you also want Payload Manager available, place pldmgr.elf in your ps5_autoloader directory and add it to autoload.txt.

Game Compatibility

Currently this loader is compatible with the following games:

Note: Demos require latest firmware to download from PSN

Updating Savedata

If you have the savedata setup and want to update the files, please refer to UPDATE.md.
