Editing ★ Debug Settings

The '''Debug Settings''' (''stylised as'' '''★ Debug Settings''') are a subset of options for Game/App debugging/development, which are only available on DevKits/TestKits. ★Debug Settings, located at the bottom of the console settings includes various features for development support.

*If you want to open the Debug Settings on a retail machine, you have to perform an exploit (on system version 3.xx/4.xx), otherwise it will prompt you with the CE-109543-2 error code.
*Debug Settings on retail machines are missing most of the features and/or error out when trying to enable them, even when exploited.<!-- could you use the exploit to install a dev/test pup? idk -->

==Overview==

'''Note''': The following ★ Debug Settings are taken from the PlayStation 5 Developer Network.
