# ShadowMountPlus 1.7 Beta 9 Released! SMB2/SMB3 Support, Faster Transfers, and New Installation Features for PS5
**October 27, 2026 | GoldenGames | PS5 Jailbreak News**
The PS5 jailbreak scene continues to evolve as developer **drakmor** releases **ShadowMountPlus 1.7 Beta 9**, just one day after introducing Beta 8.
This latest update brings several improvements to game installation, network file transfers, storage management, and overall reliability.
## SMB2/SMB3 Support Arrives
One of the biggest additions in Beta 9 is **SMB2 and SMB3 support**, allowing network file transfers and installation through SMB shares.
This provides another way for users to access and install supported game files stored on network-connected devices.
The developer credits **owendswang** and **john-tornblom** for the libraries used to introduce this functionality.
## New Installation and File Management Features
Beta 9 also adds the ability to install game folders and images into a selected local directory, giving users more control over where their files are installed.
Additional improvements include:
- **Faster PKG uploads** and improved SMB transfer performance.
- **More reliable installation**, including a fix for intermittent Input/output errors.
- **File deletion and folder creation** directly within the installation browser.
- **Free-space information** for local drives and SMB shares.
- **Improved mobile and gamepad navigation** for easier interaction with the interface.
## Building on Beta 8
Beta 8 already introduced major additions, including a redesigned web interface optimized for TV screens and gamepad navigation, PKG installation from local and external storage, streaming installation through a PC browser, and improved game management tools.
With Beta 9, drakmor is building on those features by expanding network support and improving the installation experience.
## Why This Update Matters
ShadowMountPlus is becoming a more capable management tool for jailbroken PS5 consoles.
The addition of SMB2/SMB3 support is particularly important for users who store their supported game files on a PC or network share, while the installation reliability fixes address problems that could interrupt transfers and installations.
Combined with the interface and management features introduced in Beta 8, the latest release makes ShadowMountPlus more versatile for users managing their homebrew and game collections.
