I have bought a new PS5 that is still on FW 5.00
So much so great. I tried to run 2 games which i could not get to run even after backporting them: Astrobot and Lego Voyagers.

I read somewhere that 5.50 has better compatibility. Now i am asking myself if i should update my PS5 to that version.
I do not see any good reason to stay on 5.00 today.
The only thing i want with that PS5 is play backups. Nothing else needed.

Will i be able to get at least Astrobot to run on 5.50 ?
 
Astrobot has a backport available that is listed as working with firmwares as low as 4.xx. So you shouldn't need to upgrade your system at all to play that one specific game. (There are other benefits to newer firmwares, but they aren't needed to play this one game)

Make sure you are using the fPKG version. Those have better performance and compatibility.
 
Ok you are right. Actually i got my version to run now, but it runs like shit, stuttering the whole time.

I am now getting an fPKG version and will see if that is any better.

Next one is Lego Voyagers. There are 4.xx versions but it does not run here. Crashes just after start.

Just tested the fPKG version of Astrobot with 4.xx compatibility and i cannot get it to start.

Can you confirm that this really works well on FW 5.00? If yes can you point me to details that might be a hurdle? Just either does not work at all or runs like shit here.

I don't have a FW 5.xx console, so there is nothing I can confirm for you. But the Astrobot backport itself is confirmed to work as low as 4.xx, so I am not aware of any reasons why it shouldn't work for you.

What is your setup? What version of kstuff are you using? The folder version running poorly is to be expected; getting the fPKG version working should be your goal.
