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 one jailbroken PS5, on firmware 13.60. 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. Each page says where that matters. The changelog has the detail.
