Yes Yes, but compression.

You want compression. Oke you can try this:

By EchoStretch.

Code:

its still in early testing because its not fully correct yet.
1) make folder on usb mkpfs and place all files inside
2) run payload and go find something to do it will take a bit if its big
3) creates a pfs file on usb in mkpfs_out folder
 also earthonion is orginal creator of poc

File name: mkpfs_ps5.elf

Smaller then ffpkg. Also pfs requires the pfs image to be copied to internal. Drakmor has an idea how to make it run kinda like ffpkg with no internal.

I'd like to ask a question specifically for those people still on 4.03 (or 4.51 as well I suppose)

I'm using the YouTube with autoloader and it works most of the time but someone I spoke with locally says that being on 4.03 I should use Webkit + UMTX2 as it's the gold standard.... I asked a couple of llm's and I am getting contradicting information

Please can I get a definitive answer on this please.... should 4.03 use YouTube or UMTX2 ? Thanks

UMTX2 is incredibly easy to install and is extremely stable. Not sure about the Y2JB though.

@xalfie , do you have an internal M.2 installed ?

No, you don't need any online connection, the webserver is local (optional component but almost mandatory if you don't use etaHEN)

The webserver is local?! Wait, what is it used for?

Remember our conversations way back? Webkit is the way for you Peter... don't waste time with Y2JB when you're on 4.51

It is used to run any payload installed on the console with the client web Hombrew Launcher (HL).
On this way you don't need use etaHEN to run any payload from the etaHEN menu..

This past Sunday I have been working with my setup configuration on Y2JB + autoload + etaHEN + np-fake-signin + M.2 and has been a nightmare.. Multiple KP in a row... I was remember what @BobaFett_UK explain that happen to him with np-fake-sigini.. lol..

Finally I have to restored the backup of Y2JB again ( i lost all my saves, trophies etc..) and start again with all the setup..And the nightmare seemed never endless.. lol

And finally I have found one of the causes of KP issues that NO BODY mentioned on any guide or documentation (or I have missed it, idk) .

And that is that before you go to restore the Y2JB Backup, the M.2 SSD have to be extracted, and installed again after everything has been configured and working well.. If no, do you will have a big nighmare with continues KP.

Jeeze, i feel your pain... finally my system is "touchwood" stable with the odd tits-up but that's fine... And there is no way i'm gonna use the np-fake-sign-in. Not after what i have been through.. However, me being me and coz we all like to tinker i'll give it another go over the weekend or better still when the next update to np-fake drops... However, coz i'm now using a user1 account there really is no need to use np-fake anymore... that may change once luacore comes online for firmwares over 10.01

Re your M.2 being installed... that's an interesting one.. Good catch though

Yup, my general advice is if you don't need np-fake don't use it.
I have installed because I need for transfer PS4 save games between my PS5->PS4 and for that works great, but is a nightmare with the M.2...

I have a ps5 phat 8.40. Using y2jb + etaHEN 2.5B. I am trying to use np fake signin but without success. I used OffAct to activate than reboot and then inject the np-fake-signin. It shows the message that is successful and need reboot but after reboot nothing happens. Can someone help me?

Rasa39 · Feb 16, 2026

OKay so it works now, thanks guys. I think the problem was I was using the 2.5 release of etahen, I was getting the same issue with a smaller autload.ini, but changing to the 2.6b version from the discord seems to be working fine.

The first question i will ask, do you actually need it? Do you need it to transfer ps4 games to your ps5? If the answer to that is yes then fair enough....

The next thing to try is load just y2jb and not etaHEN. Send the lapse payload so you know it's listening on port 50000. Then netcatui the np fake elf. Reboot. See if that works..

I need to transfer 1 save file from my ps4. I will try what you said but i am sceptical because i red the issue you had with the np fake signin. Does it worth the risk?

tbh for me it was a total pain! even earthonion gave up.... i have a feeling it was something to do with my original user account which had the same psn id.. I took an image from my activated console and restored it onto my digital... My source console was 11.60 and the digital one 9.02 (now 9.20) and i just got issues left right and centre.... I don't know if stepping down caused complications..

Weirdly enough, I tried this, and the pfs I got out of it was slightly larger than the ffpkg. I also then realise I havve no idea what to do with a pfs file haha. You can tell I only use this damn console for my ps4 modded games.

I don't waste time putting files in the wrong older. Did you just create a "mkfps" folder on your USB and placed your "PPSA000-APP" folder in it?

If you mean the contents of the APP folder, then yeah basically. As in the eboot.bin and other game files where in the root of the mkpfs folder in their usual structure, then I ran the payload and got the output pfs which was slightly larger. (11gb pfs, compared to 9gb ffpkg)

Yes, I have the M.2 unit installed in the console. Like I said I have no problem with it. Only using 2 payloads: webserver and kstuff.

damn thats a lot of padding. I think im gonna wait lol. Thanks!

Just updated my main ps5 to 12.70. Lua loader still going.

Rasa39 · Feb 17, 2026

Does anyone have the list of extra dns to block for the y2jb. I'm using my own dns server and just got the popup about updating to use features. I have all playstation addresses blocked from the OP.

You don't have any issues because you are missing 2 pieces here, etaHEN and np-fake-signin, if you install these both you will win the the great prize, a nightmare boot, lol...

Now I thinking that maybe only with installing np-fake-signin is enough to win the big prize.. no sure, humm, now I am curious, you haven't installed np-fake-signin, don't you?
