The Persona 5 Royal beta has ended – MKDEV has released the final version of the crack.

  Last night, the MKDEV group released the final version of the Persona 5 Royal hack. - beta testing has successfully concluded. The hack is designed for game version 1.03b. MKDEV noted that the hack has been thoroughly tested and is now stable. Unlike the alternative crack for version 1.04, which uses a hypervisor, this hack does not use the kernel driver. Meanwhile, development of the hypervisor-based hack for version 1.04 continues—a bug that caused a blue screen has been fixed. However, the hypervisor-based hack currently only works on AMD processors. MKDEV also shared some interesting details: they claimed that hacking via the hypervisor took only two days and was "10,000 times easier" than manually hacking version 1.03b. This opens up enormous potential for hacking other Denuvo games—if MKDEV decides to pursue it, of course. In any case, MKDEV's hypervisor code is publicly available, and it's likely that if not MKDEV, then others will decide to try cracking Denu...
