Well...
I installed the NVMe into an enclosure and formatted it as exFAT using my PC. Then I copied a sample game onto it (inside the homebrew/app folder) because it's relatively small and fast to copy:
New Super Lucky's Tale
After that, I opened shadowmountplus via the payload manager to let it scan the drive.
When I launch the game, the screen just turns pink. I can hear clicking sounds in the background when I press buttons on the controller, and the controller vibrates too, but I only see that solid color – no game at all. 🤔🤣
About 30 seconds after launch, the Debug logs show the message: kstuff paused while the game is running. Even if I let it sit for hours, nothing changes.

Update:
Just to clarify, this doesn't just happen with this specific game—it happens with all PS5 games across the board.
I am currently on firmware 12.02.
Interestingly, PS4 PKGs are working perfectly fine, it's only PS5 games that are giving me this pink screen and the Kstuff paused message.
