CheatSpecter is a real-time modding tool for jailbroken PS5 consoles that runs in a web browser. A small payload on the console serves the app; you open it from a phone or computer on the same network.
Use at your own risk. CheatSpecter changes the memory of a running game, which can crash it or damage a save. It has only been tested on a Jailbroken 13.60 PS5. What you do with it is your responsibility. See Troubleshooting and Safety.
- Prerequisites: what you need before anything works.
- Installation: put it on the PS5, or run it from a computer.
- Your First Cheat: from "I have 30 bullets" to an infinite-ammo switch.
New to all of this? Open the Learn page in the app. It has twelve short lessons with a practice game that runs in the page, so you can try every step without a console. See Learn.

CheatSpecter is young. Version 0.3.0 has been used on a real console (firmware 13.60, ps5debug-NG 1.3.2). Everything added in 0.4.0 passes its tests against a simulated console but has not yet been run on hardware, which is why 0.4.0 is a pre-release.
Everything new in 0.4.3 has not been tested on the console yet and is beta: the cheat file opening from the PS5 first, community tables saved into it, the new Save and Delete from PS5, the start set, cheat files already on the console, game patches, crash protection, the controller shortcut, Settings and Diagnostics, links that survive a reload, and the script and MCP additions. Each page says where that matters. The changelog has the detail.
