I'm contemplating buying a lua game to JB my 12.70 but the only way that's serviceable if I can use the Y2JB for userland and that in turn only works with fake activated account which can only be created with EtaHen or Elf Arsenal. EtaHen does not work on 12.70 therefore my question to the community if anyone has been successful running Elf Arsenal on that FW and what setup do they have or advice on one to prevent it from kp.

Well if you don't mind restoring a backup file, you can do that to get the Y2JB onto your console, it'll come with a fake activated account, hell I think the lua game backups that masters_s7 makes use an activated account, they have most lua game saves ready to go, and if they are activated, then the y2jb would work too.

Just a warning to backup your system if you have saves etc from legit games if you go that route, because it'll wipe your console when you restore a backup.

Elf-arsenal works on all firmware version I believe, if anything lower fw like mine seem to be the ones that have trouble with certain payloads and homebrew.

I rarely KP after switching to Y2JB, but I think that's because it stops itself and tells me to reboot because the jailbreak failed, in the past most my KP's came from the exploit trying to run, failing, but trying to continue anyway. Something the old bdjb would do to me, but not y2jb.

I should ask, do you have a means of jb already or no? Because both y2jb and lua need you to have something set up already, that's where the backups I mentioned come in handy. If you don't have an activated account, I think the only option is to use a backup for either the lua games, or for the y2jb.

Ed: removed netflix image mention, it needs activated account

The current bdjb seems rather stable now. I still often get a jarloader error on first boot but I could exit the app, restart the console and try again.

Still have my reservations on elf-arsenal. I've heard stories on how some users encountered the safe mode issue after using it.

NooB here, is there a good site that explains the payloads and what they do?

Id say google search the payload + github and read directly or you can always ask here
fyi some payloads from discord bluesky etc

There is so many odd ball ones, is there a list of all of them or something. I am so close to modding my PS5 but, I'm lost on all the payloads and would like to know more than a YouTuber saying install this and I have no idea.

Kstaff is like cfw

Shadowmountplus is like game luncher

Cheat runner is for cheats

Aresenal has everything but I only use it for its file manager to move/copy games from internal or external ssd

Y2jb and bdjb is cfw lunchers

Kstuff allows you to run homebrew and hacked ps4 and ps5 games

Post automatically merged: Today at 5:26 AM

Best setup for me on firmware 10.01 is kstuff lite 1.09 + shadowmuntpls 16.6 via payload manager

Download games in folders form not exfat nor other formats because they are slower.

turn off kstuff auto pause in shadowmountplus config.ini

Do I put zero for default? How do I turn off auto pause?

Edit : I converted my exfat to folder game and it's still stuck at game splash loading...

Is there somewhere I need to delete game savedata somewhere in root?

MohammedQ8 · 2026-07-09T07:07:24+0100

Yes

Yes put zero and delete # to activate it

It is better to redownload the game again or put back port files in the game folder sometimes helps too

All the # in the auto pause section? Also, with my Days Gone game it did load to load game menu and then it froze (loading cheats from arsenal) and hasn't start since... that's why I'm wondering if save data is corrupt for Days Gone

Only kstuff game auto toggle

Post automatically merged: Today at 7:22 AM

Do that is you are using kstuff lite 1.09 not arsenal

I load my elf files in payload manager including kstuff 1.09, just use arsenal for cheats and file management.

I'm using an older firmware so can't speak on that because elf-arsenal is working pretty fine now for me.

As for the account activation, make a note of your actual account details first, elf-arsenal actually shows the ID's so just copy that down somewhere if needed before messing with it.

I'd assume that your saves are still there if you change your account ID on accident. So just change the ID back to the original one you made the saves with, and all the saves should work like normal.

If you wanna activate an account, first use garlic to get your decrypted saves, so you can copy them over to your new account ID.

This is like the reverse of what I did on ps4 to make my legit saves work on my exploited console.

You know my previous experience with the earthonion account activation! Totally messed up my console and forced me to update to the next version which thankfully was 9.20.. TBH, I don't need the remote play or the ps4 save game option on that console.. The need to use Apollo Save Tool is no longer a driving factor either as we have Garlicsaves now...

Define good.

This might help: https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-payloads-mirror

This repository contains an automated mirror of useful payloads for the PlayStation 5.

I think I figured it out... the conflict might be arsenal. After I deleted arsenal from home menu and used payload manager to kill related processes when starting arsenal elf, my game started and I played for a bit. Upon reinstalling arsenal, my game froze but now I'm back to no arsenal and related processes and I'm still without game start.

PlayStation continues to shoot themselves in the foot and bring more people to the Jailbreaking scene, kstuff 1.09 released with aslr fix, Linux updates and more. Also the Switch 2 userland is in the video.

This is why keeping it simple is best. Personally I don’t use arsenal myself (I support a different football/soccer team lol).

Nanodns, payload manager, kstuff lite and shadow mount plus is really all you need.

The only thing I know is that big corpo people like Sony might be greedy, evil, or... but THEY ARE NOT STUPID!
They knew these reactions would arise, they had plans, and they are going to stick with them.
All the more reason to make more efforts to PERSEVERE games rather than complain endlessly with no results.

Do think you can eliminate Nanodns for the new replaced Nomatic DNS by Earthonion? The DNS works fine on 12.70.
More from a perspective less payloads = better
The only issue I can come up with is that if there is maintenance on the DNS server then you would revert back to NanoDNS.
