Is there any way to install a gen3.0 nvme on internal m.2 slot? to bypass the check?

Maybe cloning the drive? As in, if you have a gen4 drive, format it on the console, then do a full clone toa gen3 drive, would the drive work in the console after that, or is there a popup that always happens as soon as it detects a lower gen drive?

I know about the speed warning for slower gen 4 drives like mine, but obviously it works perfectly in the console despite this. But if it's just a matter of the console refusing to initialize the gen 3 drive, then maybe the cloning method would work?

That’s bullshit. It wasn’t “unintentional”. They just got caught and are trying to backtrack. See even THEY know what they did was illegal.

True, but isn't that a brilliant little unintentional issue, that is gonna be fixed in the next firmware release, so just update and problem solved. Which is great...for regular users.

Those sneaky bitches knew what they were doing, so now it's problem solved, crisis averted. Unless of course, you aren't planning on taking your console online or updating it anymore.

But hey, just update with an internet connection, see...why you mad bro...what's wrong, you did want to play that one star wars game you bought, right buddy?

I wonder if the "fix" is to apply this limit, only one exploitable games. Maybe that's what they were actually testing for, and did actually accidentally apply this limit to all games. That seems like a more realistic, convenient half-truth if that's what it ends up being, but I guess we'll see.

That's why it's important to keep up the fight. No matter what they try to back track on. They got caught this time, but what about next time?

It is not the same thing. We have protections in place. You can divorce your wife. You can take Sony to court or pass laws. Just because you “agreed” to something (which we didn’t agree to this mind you), doesn’t make it legal. Learn how the law works before you run your mouth. The fact that some of you morons both here and other places (PushSquare is filled with them) are bootlicking Sony is just absolutely disgraceful and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

yes, a person can get divorced, but no one will refund the money spent on the wedding... just like you don't have to use the console or you can break it, or just connect to the internet... you also have a choice.

I just think you clearly agreed to it (that the console can easily become an online only console)...

I understand that you don't like it, I don't like it that much either when I write that Sony is a bad company but I know that crying won't help
.... that's just how the PlayStation console is these days and if you don't like it then you don't have to use it.

I just think Sony has the right to require regular license verification in game products, it's their product(PlayStation ) and they didn't deprive you of anything... every product has some condictions, for example, you need electricity for an electrical appliance, right, and with PlayStation you now need internet (which they clearly declared in the terms you agreed to.

We don't have to argue if we each have different opinions about it, we won't change anything anyway... I'll just say that I don't like the feature and I'm not a Sony dog like some unnamed well-known developer on the scene.

and a golden tip at the end... Stay on the lowest FW possible due to the exploit. We definitely have Y2JB by 12.40

Oh absolutely, I mean they did it with the Vita store. People got mad so they decided to not shut the store down, except they will eventually.

I just googled to see if it's still up, and oddly enough it apparently is being taken offline this year lol

it's definitely not a bug... This announcement that it's a bug is not even official and is just trying to keep people from complaining and forgetting about it... It needs to be talked about because it affects all of us in this thread.

Ok, i have spend 2,49€ for swrr digital to find out myself what this fuzz is around digital license limitation.
Legit ps5, fat with drive, fw 13.00.
Bought the game through app and initiated download through app too.
It can also be added to library if you have active ps+ subscription (i have premium).
Booted ps5 and download startet, game installed.
When i check Information page, it doesnt show that license and date/time.
I will not update to 13.20 and use it offline this week.
If someone reminds me in 10-15 days, i can check again if there is a change.
For now i dont see a problem.
Maybe people got it with subscription?

Side question:
Is it worth to keep ps5 at 13.00 with swrr if the license will not be revoked after 30 days?
Is there anything in sight for 13.00 in regards of exploiting?

try to stay offline if you have a game without time limitation, and after 30 days offline try to turn game and check information page..

supposedly not everyone has this problem with 30day, it's new for everyone so we're finding out information, by the way, what country did you connect from last time? maybe there are countries that have different rules because somewhere the internet is not widespread

When did you buy the game?

That unintentional error can be fixed with a 5th prices up. planned.

SonGoku78 · Apr 26, 2026

@Adam512 sorry, forgot to mention, i live in germany and bought the game today

I wonder what the hacking scene has come to, if people get upset every time the manufacturer of the system they want to hack, makes changes that make it harder to hack.

If you want to play SWRR, just keep it online and updated.

If you don't want to play SWRR then

Clearly you don't get it. They can patch the game easily. That's not the complaint here. The complaint is that they are timebombing the games YOU OWN, BOUGHT AND PURCHASED, with a DRM timer and mandatory connection. It's understandable if the games are on a subscription, but these are games we PURCHASED. If I can't make it any more clearer, than that, then there's no talking to you.

It's sad how some people still think they own the game when they buy it digitally... It's sad how some people still think buying digital and buying a boxed game are the same... People like that should open their eyes and study up on this complex issue

it's good to have JB in case the sony servers go down

Does anyone know if there is a way to rip a Bluray movie disc from the PS5? Maybe there is a homebrew app that can do it? I attempted to copy the files from my disc from the /mnt/disc/ folder, but MakeMKV nor any other software seems to recognize them, despite them being sizeable (20 gigs more or less) and despite me ripping the other files (the index file) from the disc.

Any ideas?

TL;DW: he's just quoting the tweet that was posted here saying that the timer may be unintentional.

I was poking fun of the obvious lie in the tweet

it's beautiful, but... it's always the wet floor trick, and in the end, it's 1080p/30fps on a racing game.

no homebrew app has been made, a big limiitation is that no one can make a homebrew app without using unity and the leaked SDK

When linux comes out that will work provided someone makes a driver to allow the disc drive to work. It was possible on ps4

When i plug it in the ps5 it needed to be restarted and then it runs a speed test to identify the speeds. With just cloning a gen4 will bypass the new drive speed test? i would had tried it but unfortunately i only have gen3 drives
