This narrative is crazy. Sony lied all these years by telling people that you can’t play the PS2 and PS3 games they own on disc on PS5, and the only way to play them is through a subscription.
Sword just proved that they lied. His open-source software is going viral because you can literally play all of your games on PS5. He is all over X, TT and YT with millions of views. People are pissed at Sony for lying all these years.
Sword is getting the creator fees and is super thankful to the Pumpfun community, so he can continue developing his software.
PS2 discs. Straight into a PS5.
20+ years of nostalgia, one disc away.
PS5SX2 🎮
special thanks to @_AlAzif

market’s dead rn but gotta give pump credit, they’ve been listening to the trenches and shipping W after W.
all these updates are gonna matter a lot when volume comes back. still think the next bull run is gonna be fucking massive.
“Good things take time” is the biggest lie ever told.
Good things take a competent team who knows which tools you need to succeed as a trader and knows how to ship them at record speeds.
When we launched Pump Bridge yesterday, I said we’re dedicated to giving you the best possible onchain trading experience, no matter what it takes. We meant that - which is why we’re proud to take another HUGE step towards giving you the MOST edge on Pumpfun with EVM limit orders.
Every social trading app had the chance to ship EVM traders limit orders for all relevant chains after months of pleas for a feature that massively puts them ahead - no one can babysit a trade 24 hours a day - yet no one even tried to ship a solution.
We were late to crosschain trading, yet we were the first to ship limit orders on Solana and now EVM. That’s two MAJOR product releases in just two days. And there’s much more coming.
As of now, we are the fastest shipping team in crypto.
Your trading app should be shipping massive upgrades to your trading experience every single week. If they aren’t, it’s on you to decide which platform is best for your career as a trader.
The sooner you join Pumpfun, the sooner you unlock the chance to become one of the Greats onchain.

Now Legendary Drops is talking about PS2 discs running on PS5. His video already has 300K views.
IGN, Asmongold, UFD Tech… the videos and posts just keep coming. More gamers are finding out about @sword_pdf’s PS5SX2 and how @grok helped him build it.
And he’s giving it away for free. Open source, for PS5s.
even the guy who created playstation gets why gamers are pissed at sony right now 👇
Ken Kutaragi (THE FATHER OF Playstation) has spoken on the physical games situation:
- Gets why people are mad about Sony dropping physical discs.
- He says it has caused "friction with enthusiasts"
- For a lot of us discs just feel like actual ownership
- Calls it a mentality thing, like nobody needs a physical phone game because you trust you’ll still have it
- Admits keeping discs around doesn’t really make financial sense anymore 🫠
- Current PS leadership (a lot of them came from streaming stuff) treats PlayStation more like a content box than a real console 😅💀
- He’s been saying this network shift was coming since PS2 days
All those game discs we bought years ago, they could have worked on the PS5 the entire time. They just chose not to.
@StanimusGaming said exactly what every gamer is thinking 😤
@sword_pdf got old PS2 discs booting on PS5 with help from @grok. free and open source. AI did what Sony wouldn't.

Seeing people react to something I've spent countless hours building is honestly surreal.
I just wanted to play my old games on my PS5. Turns out a lot of you wanted the same thing.
And there's still so much more to come. 💿
Sony will happily sell us our childhood games again, but the PS2 discs we already paid for still don't work on PS5. That's what pisses me off.
We've been asking for this for years, but they made backwards compatibility seem technically impossible.
Now @sword_pdf, with the help of @grok, built PS5SX2 so we can all play our old PS2 discs on a PS5. And he made it free and open source.
@UFDTech covers it here. Seriously, thank you Sword. Seeing someone use AI to build something people have wanted for years is what gets me excited.
big tech youtube is on it now. this is the most i've seen gamers agree on anything in years 😂
PS5SX2 isn't a 2 day story

UFD Tech, one of the biggest tech channels on YouTube (1.5M subs), just covered PS5SX2 🔥
and they said what everyone's been thinking. Sony made PS2 on PS5 seem impossible for years so they could keep selling you the same games again through PS Plus and remasters
then one dev with the help of @bot drops it for free and your old discs just boot 💿
457K views and climbing. this isn't slowing down, it's spreading
Sony will happily sell you your childhood games again. But put the disc you already paid for into a PS5? Good luck.
So was this really beyond Sony’s engineers, or just something they didn’t want to give us?
Sword used @grok to help build PS5SX2, letting people play backups of their old PS2/3 games on PS5s free and open source.
asmongold, one of the biggest gaming creators on the planet, just made a full video on PS5SX2 🚨
1.2M+ views already. his take: "gamers won" and sony messed up
I hope you understand how big this.
a solo dev got real PS2 discs running on PS5, IGN and kotaku covered it, and now asmon is on it too. it's a matter of time before big tracked X accounts start talking about this since he used grok to help make it
