That's the easiest way I've found so far. Simply put, you need to unpack the latest game update available (or the game itself, if the update is merged with the game), add the DLC stuff into it and pack it up again. To avoid errors or DLC not showing up, I'd suggest removing the game completely and reinstalling it again, this time around only the base game and the patched update file.

For example, I had the base game, update and one DLC installed to test if it works and it didn't work. After that, I learned that you need to patch DLC into the update in order to get them on PS5. Once I followed the tutorial and tried to install the new patched update with the DLC included, nothing happened. But, when i reinstalled the game only with the base game and patched update installed, it worked without an issue.

Mentioned before but really hoping to get advice on some rules for PS4 backports working on ps5:

My ps5 fw is equivalent to 10.50 (PS4). If PS4 game/update has backport (Fix 5.05/6.72/7.xx/8.xx) In the title, does that mean it will only support those fw? Or anything between and above?

Or must say something like 7+ or specially 10.50, my equivalent fw. The site I use to grab files is VERY messy and not clear to me

I believe it's the lowest firmware it'll support and should work on anything equal or greater than that.

Its backported so it would work only for 5.05/6.72/7.xx/8.xx firmwares.

If needed pm me. I think i’m on same site

It was bit confusing because some of those fw are so specific e.g 6.27. I was bit paranoid as one installation resulted in game not working. Deleted but still left a folder in ps5 folders. Looked into ps4tools v46 but that seems more for working with base game, updates and dlc.
Maybe I was just unlucky with that one game I tested...

Sorry dude. Definitely report it in their post.
Any kind of feedback is useful.

Didnt someone here write about some method to install ps4 fpkg+dlc on external and move it to internal, or something like that and it worked? Or was that for something else?

Compiled info from Consolehax:

“Found a odd fix for PS4 patches and dlc on bypervisor exploited units. Using a external USB HDD and setting install PS4 games to external I don't need to fix patches etc using a PC. Hope this helps others.

PS4 fpkgs fail on internal ssd on PS5 but install fine on extended external. A specific one that was a giant pain on SSD was miles Morales as the update and dlc wouldn't install until I stumbled on this fix.

Any ps4 fpkg you want torun with dlcs, you have to move it to the external hdd then install the dlc on the game while it still on hdd then move the game to ssd back and it will work with dlc normally.

Games like miles Morales you can't install the backport patch or dlc on internal without PKG editing on PC. Installing to a extended USB formatted drive solves this. There's no significant speed difference in game.

I got confirmation that this solves PS4 trainers too”

He tested on his 2.50, but others have tried and it works with none bypervisor firmwares.

Confirmed working on 2.xx-6.xx should work on 7.xx.

I'm really glad I could help out and that you stuck with it. Lua can definitely be tricky at first. I wrote the step-by-step below to help others with a jailbroken PS5 who also want to test Lua. This version uses a Discord bot and doesn't require a jailbroken PS4.

Requirements:

A Lua-compatible game (physical or digital)
Jailbroken PS5 (or unjailbroken if user account is PSN-activated)
Discord account
Google Drive account
USB drive
PS5 Xplorer
websrv and OffAct (required only if user account is not PSN-activated)
PLK's fork (from GitHub)

Part 1: Prepare Your Game Save

1. Insert the Lua-compatible game disc (or launch digital version)
2. Install the game (if not already installed)
3. Start the game and create a new save
4. Close the game

Part 2: Copy Game Save to USB

If your account is PSN-activated (also works with unjailbroken PS5):

5. Go to Settings → Saved Data and Game/App Settings → Saved Data (PS4) → Console Storage
6. Select the save, copy it to the USB drive
7. Skip to Step 15

If your account is not PSN-activated:

8. Jailbreak your PS5 (using your usual method)
9. Install PS5 Xplorer (if not installed already)
10. Install both homebrew loader and OffAct, and send websrv.elf (see tutorial)
11. Run OffAct, and:

If User ID = 0x0000000000000000, set a random one (might need to restart the PS5 and repeat all steps from Step 1)
Write the User ID down

12. Plug your USB drive into the PS5
13. Launch PS5 Xplorer
14. Copy the save folder:

/user/home/<your_local_account>/savedata/<game_title_ID>
to:
/mnt/usb<x>/ (your USB drive)

Part 3: Prepare Save on PC

15. Plug the USB drive into a PC
16. If your account is not PSN-activated, navigate to /<game_title_ID>/ folder and rename:

sdimg_savedata
to:
savedata

17. Download the 'savedata' folder from PLK's fork, and remove from the extracted folder:

ps5_lua_loader/ (folder), and
psfree-1.5rc1.7z (file).

18. Upload both folders to your Google Drive:

Your original save game: /<game_title_ID>/ (Step 16), and
PLK’s savedata folder (from GitHub fork - Step 17).

Part 4: Use Discord BOT to Encrypt Save

19. On Discord, click "Add Server" and join using the invite link at the bottom of this GitHub page: https://github.com/That-Kidd/ps-bot (under “No jailbroken PS4?” section)
20. In the server, go to #hto channel under –HTOS Save Bot– click the “Get Started” button in the 'PS Bot' message
21. If you used OffAct, in the new thread with your username (created under #hto):

Type /store_accountid and select the one from PS Bot
Type 0x<user_id_from_Step_11> (account_id prompt)
Hit Enter

22. In the same thread with your username (created under #hto):

Type /encrypt and select the one from PS Bot
Choose "False" twice (both prompts)
Hit Enter (leave third prompt empy)

23. In Google Drive:

Right-click the uploaded folder:
- Your original save game: /<game_title_ID>/
Select Share → Share
Set “General access” → Anyone with the link
Copy link, and paste into your Discord thread (Step 22)

24. Wait for the BOT to process ['Resigning Process (Decrypted): Upload savedata'] and repeat Step 23 for PLK’s savedata folder.
25. Wait for the BOT to process and return a Google Drive link (~5–10 minutes): ['Google Drive: Upload complete']
26. Download the processed file and extract it to the USB drive (overwrite files if necessary)

Part 5: Transfer Modified Save Back to PS5

If your account is PSN-activated:

27. Plug the USB drive into the PS5 and go to Settings → Saved Data and Game/App Settings → Saved Data (PS4) → USB Drive
28. Select the save and copy it to the Console Storage
29. Skip to Step 35

If your account is not PSN-activated:

30. On PC, navigate to the extracted folder PS5/SAVEDATA/<user_id>/<game_title_ID>/ and rename:

savedata
to:
sdimg_savedata

(Note that <user_id> folder in PS5/SAVEDATA must match the id from Step 11. If different repeat all steps from Step 21)

31. Plug the USB drive into your PS5
32. Launch PS5 Xplorer
33. Copy both files from:

/mnt/usb<x>/PS5/SAVEDATA/<user_id>/<game_title_ID>/
to:
/user/home/<your_local_account>/savedata/<game_title_ID>/ (overwrite files)

34. Close PS5 Xplorer

Final Step: Test

35. Launch the game → It should now automatically load PLK’s Remote Lua Loader

36. Bonus Step: To autoload etahen, place on /data/ps5_lua_loader/ folder on your PS5 both etahen.bin and a file named autoload.txt with these lines:
!5000
etahen.bin
