So useful being able to use DumpRunner. MW and others don't have to wait for etahen to catch-up so guides can come out faster

Just want to publicly thank @madbrainx for his help today with setting up PLK lua, I would have probably given up on this without his help, So once again i totally appreciate you taking the time to help with this.

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.

A Lua-compatible game (physical or...

It says it requires a PS5 that is either already jailbroken or has an activated PSN account. The way I understand it is that my PS5 ticks neither of those boxes. If it was on 7.61, I could easily set up the savegame, but on 8.00 the only way to get the savegame onto the PS5 in the first place is to restore a console backup. At least until another solution is found.

Hey, guys, I'm doing some test with the latest Viktorious Bdj using an alternative method on my FW 7.61:

What you think, is good enough the result? you have more lucky than me? or I am losing my time doing this test...?

Alternatively, you can restore a console backup that includes Lua saves (e.g., master-s9), though this will overwrite your existing saves. I’ve listed the available methods to transfer Lua saves for each fw in this other post.

Thanks for the link.

You're right about the master_s9 backup. I already put one of those onto an external hard drive, but I'm hesitating to restore it on my console. The part I would like to avoid is losing my saves. Of course I can create another backup beforehand (which I already did as well) and switch between that one and the master_s9 backup, but I hope that's only temporary. Transferring installed games to the secondary SSD seems to keep them through the restoration process, but this doesn't work for savegames.

It's not even my own saves I care about, but Mrs. Axido threatened to behead me if I wipe the Horizon Forbidden West save she didn't even touch since January.

Looks decent enough.

What is the alternative method?

KiiWii · Aug 31, 2025

Kstuff 8.20 is being worked on RN.

Will be interesting to see if Kstuff can be achieved at all on 9.xx after 8.00-8.60 is sated.

On the Viktorious ISO there are many pipe(s) to run.
The first is the one, that one do everything automatic in one click, but on the version v19 or the new beta v20, it raise a KP each 3/4 tries, for me is too much...

So, I was looking and testing for a manual way to do the same that the pipe 1 with less KP, and then I have found the alternative way (method), that the user have to perform many manuals steps with a specific configuration and in specific order and pace until everything is loaded.

Right now all these steps taken around 2 minutes and 26 seconds...

This time maybe can be improved but for that Viktorious has to compile a new payload on his ISO to get it working on less time..
He told me is busy right now, maybe in the future he will do it...

So for now I will continue will my test to find out how many KP I have got on 100 tries with this alternative method..

EDIT: I wrote the text below, then realized it didnt support 8.0 or PS5 saves as of yet. But maybe it will soon.

Look into Playstation 5 Save Mounter. If im not misstaken it works on PS5 saves aswell. You can transfer a save between accounts with it -

Correction, Kstuff 8.40/8.60 is being worked on RN. :gun:

I read before that there is a big difference between kstuff for 8.20 and 8.40, that the old way of working works up to 8.20 and for 8.40 and above a new way needs to be invented... so I'm curious if kstuff for 8.40 will be "very soon" (days) or "soon" (months/years)

Didn't realise but with ps4, they skipped an entire firmware at one point (5.**?) and went straight to 6.xx for a while. Perhaps that might be the case going forward with PS5. I don't mind waiting as long as other areas get developed like Hen 2 and webkits, etc...

when we get a new exploit it is normally released for the last firmware supported first and then ported backward like you’re describing. the reason kstuff releases in the order it does is because typically each firmware adds x amount of new roadblocks and changes that break kstuff on it.

if you wanted to skip straight to 10.01 echo would still have to figure out all the fixes for 8.xx and 9.xx as well as all the fixes for 10.xx to make it work. and it would likely be much more overwhelming to troubleshoot these dozens of changes at once and find the root cause of each problem, making it take even longer than it does with an incremental approach like we have now.

generally a smaller firmware like 8.xx needs less fixes than 9.xx and so if he does them in order he can go ahead and release 8.xx when he finishes and has still made equal progress on 9.xx by doing this. he just now only has to find the additional changes from 8.xx to 9.xx rather than from 7.xx to 8.xx and from 8.xx to 9.xx which makes his job simpler and the scene gets more releases faster out of it.

it’s not as simple as just starting with the last one and porting backwards unless the only thing that changed was offsets in which case it wouldn’t take more than a week or two to cover all firmwares anyway.

Finally setup and experimented with "Dump Runner" (simpler alternative to etahen) after watching the MW video. I
Included the kStuff toggle which allows you to pause and unpause that process.
I like the simplicity but getting Returnal to launch took 6mins. Not something that Itemzflow has an issue with regarding ps5 games.
Perhaps Dump Runner has it uses like testing new payloads but I don't see it as a convenient replacement for etahen. Especially with feature like controller shortcuts for disabling kStuff.
I have not used Webman yet but imagine after bug fixes, there will be even less reason to use Dump Runner for the average user. Perhaps Devs and people like MW will make more use of it...

All the more reason then to hope etahen 2.3b and all it's neat new updates, come out soon
