Hi Guys

So i took the leap of faith and jumped from JB 5.05 and went to JB 6.72.

I had around 100 games on a external all 5.05 games which now don't work all there icons have a little exclamation mark in the corner. All 6.72 games newly installed work fine no issues and JB ing the system i found easy ... what can i do too get is the OLD games which used to run working NONE of them do anymore.

Any suggestions would be great. :) :) :)

Thank you

My external its formatted exfat as all the 5.05 games worked fine before;

i don't mind reinstalling them if needs be its well worth it.

I just normally use the Pkg installer but this dosnt seem to like the 5.05 games ... my old games on 5.05 load to the splash then crash with an error screen

6.72 games work fine .... it may be a waiting game for me .

so app2usb yeah there are hight chance you will have to reinstall them, mira have trouble whit instalation some time (like its dosent work whit remote instalation or kp during debug pkg install) but if you can make mira (no HB) work instalation work fine there (im one of the unlucky right now that mira (no HB) dosent send the payload....)

Sorry to hijack but could you list the steps you made to upgarde from 5.05 to 6.72 safely? Did you get the recovery firmware or the other one(forgetting the name)?

I am so glad that I wait a little longer. I have all 5.05 games and I won't jump to 6.72 until an exploitable is stable enough and 5.05 backup games work properly on 6.72. Don't want to reinstall them all over again anyway. I am staying on 5.05 for now.

HI Guys
Ok this is where i stand now ... Moved from 5.05 last week to 6.72 using a PC/Laptop to host files to JB ...BEST WAY!
My issues:
6.72 has issues installing 5.05 games weather through Debug or app2USB.
ANY game may have issues installing on a External HDD.
All 6.72 games running on 6.72 JB work for me fine so.....
My work around is this:
Take my internal drive out of my PS4 and use and male to female sata lead to connect an 6TB from outside the PS4 to the ports inside the internal HDD slot ....Making the PS4 think its internal HDD is the 6TB. Solving the issue of no games able to be installed on a external.
Anyway ill let you know if this works and if anyone else if having the same external HDD issues if this fixes it.
I dont mind loosing all the 5.05 games as long as my result is iam able to install all new games on a massive HDD.
Every JB i tried didn't fix any of my issues and that's why this seems the best way forward for me ...

You mean exclamation mark? Yeah, that's why I am staying on 5.05 for now. They are working on improvement the exploitable.

I think you can reinstall 5.05 games on 6.72 all over again and it should work. Please correct me if I am wrong, anybody.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
