So.....you people are not going to believe this absolute fucking shit.....all the issues i was having getting the ffpfsc games working? It's because I forgot to put the elfs in the ps5_autoloader folder.......I was doing this for a long time and didn't realize it until I needed to actually update. So it was using the elfs off the actual DISC and not the ones on the USB. So, tried Astro Bot, MGS Delta, and Pragmata and all work fine so far. I wanted to get them working on the slim before trying the Pro because most of the APR titles dumped, I have already in legit form on my Pro and set for offline play. Me getting those to work wasn't a high priority like getting the ffpfsc to work. Because if the APR games had problems (like Spider-Man does giving me the offline error every time it tries to autosave and stutters galore), it's not an issue as most likely it's on my Pro legitimately if I want to play them. I can always swap out the APR emu if there's a new version I assume.

But yeah, double check your shit and don't be like me spending three days trying to make working files when they were fine all along, it's just that my fuck up caused the incorrect elf files to load.....

I feel like such a fucking idiot right now.....

BTW, kudos to the dude who linked me to the batch file because that wasn't working either, until I used Gemini to find there was an "updater" file on my computer causing the command prompt to close unless it was in admin mode, so I also had to fix my PC as well. Now, the batch file is working PERFECT and without needing to use my internal drive neither (as I only have 200GB out of 512GB and most of it claims to be program files, but that's another story I intend to find out).

It is seemingly impossible to beat Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart with an ampr_emu backup.

There's a mandatory section about halfway through the campaign that relies heavily on Insomniac's party trick of rapidity switching between environments by pulling data off the SSD. Unfortunately, backups have slightly longer load times, which makes this transition literally impossible to get past. You will begin falling while the game is loading and die every time.

This is running from a folder dump on an M.2 SSD. I also tried .exfat, but the load times for that are even worse. I don't know if there's a fix for this or if one is even possible, but I wanted to document this before someone else runs headlong into the same issue.

I already saw many posts on the internet thinking that they can run 1.6 on 13.00 ~ 13.40, BUT also thinking it's a KEX.
Imagine the disappointment when they get a port 50000 screen and have no clue how to handle it

Anyway, I finished my little easy-peasy tutorial for the newest Y2JB.

I am using system backups since day one to jailbreak ps5 lol I didn't hack it manually lol .... but it as good practice specially that I have a pc next to my hacked ps5 lol

I hope we get something else other than p2jb for y2jb 1.6

Oh, that is bad.. I have a similar issue with Spider.-man 2 on my M.2 SSD, but on USB is working more or less fine..
You can do 2 different test to resolve this issues:

1º Yes, .exfat is slow, but we have the new format ffpfsc (or something similar) so you can convert your .exfat dump to the new format where the image is compressed and the people said that is more faster reading because is less data to be read (because is compressed) than .exfat
2º Copy the files on USB and try there. I know, USB is slow, but on spider-man 2 even is more slow than m.2 it resolve the issues.
3º Wait for a new compress format that right now are in development (kraken)

Btw, How I can test this on my PRO? which mission is that?

Good lord, i wake up and there is like a million posts! I srtill need my coffee to read this lot

Good to see that a dev version of the itsPLK autoloader V0.8 is out... i'll let the dust settle and try it when it's officially released....

@HS2005 you are right DEVS DON"T SLEEP

(it's so underated lol)

@bn2soldier You made me realise I haven't backed up my 9.20 console which has a lot of saved game data on it... better make a back up of all the save data in case it throws a tantrum and a reset is needed....

MohammedQ8 · Wednesday at 8:48 AM

question how much performance we lose if we kept kstaff on during gameplay? because some arp games requires always on kstaff

OK, so I have zero issues on 12.70 using .ffpfsc. My setup (in order):

View attachment 577174

So I mainly convert from a .exfat to .ffpfsc. So I already got a proper / existing .exfat.
From I just drag and drop the file (.exfat or .ffpkg) into this script and wait: https://gofile.io/d/URLSAq

USB setup:

Place the files into a external device and place them into homebrew/. If you login to the FTP I would look like this: /mnt/usb0/homebrew/ (NVME speeds needed for loading times. SSD/HDD causes issues)

Give the files short names with no spaces. So game1.ffpfsc or game1.Ultimate.Edition.exfat (spaces and long names can give conflicts)

If you have over 15 games in a folder give SM+ some times for indexing

If you have previous installtions of a game. Always delete them first before installing a new game.

Github links:
ftpsrv: https://github.com/ps5-payload-dev/ftpsrv/releases/tag/v0.20
Garlic SaveMgr: https://git.etawen.dev/earthonion/garlic-savemgr/releases/tag/v1.82b
SM+: https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus/releases/tag/1.6test15-fix2
kstuff: https://github.com/drakmor/kstuff-lite/releases/tag/1.2-dr-test1

PHU like the ftp server and Garlic are additional.

I'm pretty sure phu overlay isn't needed anymore since that version of kstuff lite includes trophy support (unless you're using phu overlay for something else...)

Nioh 3

Ah, ok. I see that now:

"We recommend not pausing kstuff on this title. 1st game start can take a while as apr emu is building its index."

That can be done with ShadowMountPlus by creating /data/shadowmount/config.ini and put: kstuff_no_pause=PPSA32785

"We recommend not pausing kstuff on this title. 1st game start can take a while as apr emu is building its index."

I'm not sure how to keep kstuff unpaused short of just using the regular version as a standalone payload. Maybe launching from itemzflow instead of using shadowmount?

I have been dying to play Nioh 3, but so far there's no backport (although I suspect that maybe someone could create one from Wo Long's backport [or maybe Fatal Frame's backport whenever it comes out] considering they use the same engine). I'm on 9.60.

I am on 10.01 and want to update to 12.00 hack it first via p2jb and then via bdjb autoloader ... I mean even y2jb lapes fails few times it is not perfect.

also saros backport patch maybe caused sound issues when I play it from internal ssd

I would not do that. Updating is never a good idea. What happens if a hypervisor exploit that affects up to firmware 10 happens and you miss out on that? I would just wait for a backport of whatever game you want to play.

I'm also confused as to why you asked about Nioh 3 if you can't even play it lol

What about test game in internal ssd ?

ShadowMountPus specifically warns against mounting games from the internal drive.

Stick with external, whats your autoloader saying also is it internal /data/autoloader or usb?
Only load...
pldmgr.elf (from USB)
then id suggest loading an ftp payload or etaHEN then checking your internal autoloader, pldmgr/payloads, and elf-arsenals config
if in doubt remove elf-arsenal completely (ftp) and restart ps5
autoload pldmgr (as above)
#1 - nanodns
#2 - backpork
#3 - shadowmountplus
#4 - +5 secs
#5 - etaHEN

or
autoload pldmgr
#1 - elf-arsenal

configure what you want in the settings eg (replace kstuff & smp in default locations) autoload backpork & nanodns

Finally your PS5 will more than likely crash and turn off 1/2/3 times before successfully jb and load your NEW config - It has a little temper tantrum but you should notice progression each time then should stabilize (speaking from my experience)

Remove your backup games ssd's and delete all the install game titles on your ps5 then replug ssd so when smp re-installs them they should work

For elf-arsenal I just had that in the autoload, otherwise I have it almost exactly as your example, just without backpork loaded separately.

I tried using just the payloadmanager to set things up with etahen, but it still reacts the same way.

I tried the ssd thing too, deleting all of them and let remount, but again even via webman in etahen they don't work. I'm wondering if SM+ has some temp folders somewhere too. I'm gonna go through with ftp like you said, but I'm gonna just start deleting any homebrew generated folders I find.

worm28 said:
I have the same issue PS5 games stopped working out of no ware PS4 games and DLC still works all homebrew works this sucks. Are you using kstuff lite i am?

Yeah using latest kstuff lite 1.07, but I tried using the one built into etahen which I think was kstuff 1.04 but still the same issue where I could use it just fine before so I don't think it's kstuff related.

This is such a bizzare issue, I literally changed nothing and suddenly it just starts doing this. The only thing is that elf-arsenal forcefully updates itself so I'm wondering if that has fucked me up somehow.

Also to whomever it was (forgot the name sorry) asking about using gen 3 drives as the ps5 nvme, this video might be interesting to you. Turns out I was kinda correct, you can bypass the check using a backup.

mattyxarope · Wednesday at 10:09 AM

I've been trying to figure out a new elf stack since I've not started up the PS5 for a few weeks.

Ultimately, whatever one that I try seems to have me coming back to just using etaHEN 2.6B (with latest kstuff lite), then autoloading ShadowMountPlus afterward via etaHEN/payloads. It really just works and allows me to have a native PKG installer for PS4 games or homebrew. Also, etaHEN's payload launcher is pretty easy to use in the etaHEN toolbox.

The only downside is that autoloading the etaHEN toolbox is kinda iffy sometimes. I think that there is a way to have it not autoload and just create a shortcut on the homescreen to load it as needed, is that true? I know that there is an Itemzflow button to do it, but I forget if it's possible with a shortcut on the homescreen.

I first tried moving the folder dump to USB. That loaded significantly slower, which resulted in this happening

Next I tried compressing the exfat image to ffpfsc and putting on the M.2 drive. That was even slower, resulting in the same problem occurring much earlier in the sequence.

These results are pretty much what I expected TBH.
