I have a PS4 on 12.50. It's my PSN activated one. Please, please let this lead to decrypting my PS4 digital games.

It would be great if it’s in any way portable to higher firmwares for ps5.

Still doesn’t help digital users.

I noticed something : x links don't show up directly at my country, I'm forced to use a VPN to show up the links.

Any idea ?

¯\_(ツ)_/ no idea, I’m shocked they work here, they’ve been sporadic since twitter switched to X.

Because WebKit above 5.xx is like a mythical unicorn. Hopefully curse is lifted soon.

So homebrewed my 5.50 PS5 and am trying to play Astro's Playroom on it, but anytime I try I get the "The update file for this game or app has been downloaded. To update this game or app, update the system software first" message.

You can copy the game pkg using ftp/ps5-xplorer from user/app/PPSA01325/app.pkg
Then delete astro's playroom from the ps5 homescreen (don't worry you will still have the licence) then install the app.pkg you copied, that should do it
probably should re-name it and save it somewhere

V1.4.4

Fixed a bug running with a different Locale that separates doubles with , instead of a . (Thanks Marcus for the fix!)
Changed mounted message to show full path instead of relative one. For exmaple: /mnt/pfs/savedata_1219d731_CUSA00552_SAVEDATA0P
Clear old data when unpatching or disconnecting from PS5.

Null pointer just released his 'port of ChendoChap's PS4 save mounting technique to the PS5 and new PS5 Save Mounter. The tool requires the new ps5debug 1.0b5 and currently supports PS5 firmware versions 3.20, 4.03, 5.02, 6.02, and 7.40. While it may function on other firmwares within the same major version, full support for versions 8.20, 8.20.02, 9.40, 9.60, and 10.01 is pending a future ps5debug port.'

Supports PS5 FWs:

3.20, 4.03, 5.02, 6.02, 7.40
- If you have another FW version which is the same major version, it'll try to use the available offsets. This might now work, there's also a warning in the program.

I found these parts in the code.. interesting that it uses such method:

**else if (version >= 600 && version < 700)
{matchLooseFWVersion(version, "6.02");}

**else if (version >= 700 && version < 800)
{matchLooseFWVersion(version, "7.40");}

I think he saw some code on github, shared it right away without even really knowing what it was..or maybe it was a secret link and that's why he deleted the tweet.
I'm not sure but I think it was "Payload ELF Loader" but he presented it as "BD-JB for 12.50", which is something else.

The Github link was a secret link. I looked at it the second @KiiWii posted it.

With this save mounter we can inject a a lua save modified to run a pkg lua games or we need always to buy an original game?

Mentioned this dilemma in a previous post, but like KiiWii said in the OP, Lua demos can get corrupted, especially after a hard KP. I’d stick with 7.xx since it has a solid, stable kernel exploit. It’s missing userland (like WebKit), but that’ll probably come eventually. Upgrading to 11.40 just for a not-so-reliable userland exploit doesn’t seem worth it unless you’re already on 10.01+.

Bdjb is userland and so is the lua. "Userland" is a term used to describe a user access point like the internet explorer, hence why Sony removed it on ps5. You have to have a userland exploit to even get a kernel exploit. Unless there was a way to get into the boot loader, every exploit comes from userland.

u cant run fpkg without jb, thus break the lua purpose, save mounter wont work without jb also, a demo from psn or original disc is necessary

Okay a liar demo can get corrupted easily. But ain't they like 4 of them you can download? Also cant you have a backup on an external? Yeah a lot of work.

I have a lua game and gave up on the lua exploit cause of depending on discord bots.

The lua thing seems like a lot of mix and match stuff going on. I'm staying on 4.03 and may go to 7xxx with bdjb

all those demos need u to connect to psn to activate ur account/consolea as primary to work(and offline), dont expect them to work just that by simply install them, they need licenses from psn

lua is quite simple actually, just u need to get urself a slot in the bot or ask some1 else with jb'able ps4 to do the mod save for u

Why are you using LUA when you have access to WebKit on 4.03? Guess your preparing for future JB on higher fw.
If possible I would just buy a 2nd Ps5. You can always sell it later when HV and 100% backports are possible on older fw.

Both the viktorious custom ISO and Master's Backup are both excellent options having become feature rich and more stable over time. But yes, BD-JB is the easier option but LUA is more future proof...

Oh yes baby, still got my old saves from my fackup. Now it's the time to do smth with them.

Emris93 · Jul 16, 2025

Ohh very good news for ps4 owners:

Hope something for ps5 also soon.

Any news about that 3.xx-4.xx HW exploit? It was coming soon™ but I haven't seen anything new about it.
