Any advantage to having a static IPv4 for ones console? Or just leave it auto and just check what the new IP is when using ftp access?

Is DBZ Sparking Zero playable on firmware 7.00?

Thanks.

According to dlpsgame "Backport all Game work 6.xx 7.xx But Need change folder fakelib Remove old 4.xx or 5.xx and copy Your fakelib 6.xx or 7.xx"

I personally prefer static. Makes things easier when using remote play. The same applies to ftp

Tell me about it... The best I have at the moment is some old 320GB SATA III HDD so I'm using that to copy the game to before I copy it over to PS5. Roundabout way, yeah, but FTP is almost impossible due to how bad my WiFi reception in my room is. I rarely connect my consoles to the internet, so I don’t feel the need to fix my Wi-Fi problems but... extracting the game took about an hour, repacking into FFPKG took another hour, yet another hour or so to copy it over to the HDD and a whopping 2-3 hours to copy it over to PS5. In the end it'll be worth it but I'll definitely have to do it over FTP somehow next time, maybe connect PC directly to the PS5 (need longer LAN cable).

For people with computers with a lot of RAM (16Gb and more), it's a lot faster to extract if you use your RAM as the temporary folder, using a program called imdisk toolkit, to create a ramdisk.

The only catch is that you must do it, by extracting the files in smaller bursts as to not exceed your Ram size. And for the really bigger files, that exceed your Ram amount, you have to do it the slow way

Since I've been doing it, it's so much faster and my SSD endurance appreciates it

how big is it after extracting?

How many games are you playing

Do you actually finish any?

Oh you think that games big... try Cyberpunk!!

my whole external 256gb ssd will turn into a game cartridge lol

I was thinking the same thing for mine too haha.

It's a mixed bag when it comes to compressed games too, it depends what options were chosen when it was packed up. Some extract to double size, others triple etc. It's a fun surprise lol.

I think static is always better. Sadly my shitty router doesn't give me the option to do static IP, unless I pay my ISP for the ultra deluxe shit-eater edition internet tier that gets me a slightly less dog shit router.

My ps5 does the same thing but it's not so bad cos I barely use ftp anymore. My pihole however, occasionally changes IP, so I gotta figure it out and change the dns on the ps5.

And yeah, my decent router I bought doesn't work with my new ISP, because fuck me I guess...assholes (gonna get disconnected now for slander, thanks UK lol).

Will look into it, thanks!

On the other hand, I finally copied the Astro Bot FFPKG file to the internal storage i.e. to the data/etaHEN/games folder. Now, from what I can see, ShadowMount, BackPork and etaHEN should work as Y2JB Autoloader didn't return any error message. I've seen the "1 game found" and... I still don't see anything on the home screen.

As for the FFPKG, I've copied the backport files into the main game folder and packed it like that. Was that a mistake? If so, how should I properly do it? Make a FFPKG with the original dump and put the backport files elsewhere? If so, where should the backport files go?

EDIT: This is the ShadowMount fork that I've used: https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus
I've updated the kstuff to 1.6.7 so I believe that I've met the prerequisites, but I might have made a mistake with how I made the FFPKG (I've used this tool one: https://github.com/jdros15/dump2ufs-gui and I've checked the "Dump Installer compatible" thingy).

EDIT#2: Wait, do these FFPKGs need to be installed with dump_installer? i.e. They do not behave like ISO files that just get mounted?

EDIT#3: Apparently not, but I'm still not sure why I'm not seeing the game in the home menu.

@Rasa39 It worked but i'm finding the games slower to load.... i'll try Astro tomorrow eveing and compare load times with the mormal package vs the exfat and see how they compare..

Tbh I've never used the raw file method, I was too worry that loose files might have been the cause of all the database rebuilds, especially ones that people said wipe the games and deleted files.

Since up until I messed with the database for y2jb, all other rebuilds I had didn't wipe anything at all. And even the one that did, it didn't actually delete files, just removed the apps from the home screen.

I did notice that it creates a new folder called something like "exfat_image" and "ffpkg_image" and inside of those, are the loose files for any games you have in either format.

I assume it's creating shadow copies of all the files, so if the console does delete them, it just makes them again from the image file, which isn't being deleted (just a thought though).

they said that also for "A quiet place"
so I've tried this method for my 6.50 but no luck, i don't know what i'm doing wrong

Blythe93 · Feb 26, 2026

Still no luck figuring out why Astro Bot doesn't work on my end. I've noticed that there's a PPSA21564 folder (i.e. Astro Bot folder) in the data/imgmnt/ufsmnt folder. It seems like it has been extracted from the FFPKG file? Total size is around 133 GB which is much lower than game's usual 148GB once extracted.

Also, I'm not sure if I understand the point of FFPKGs - do they still need to be extracted in order to use them on PS5 i.e. so that ShadowMount can see them? I feel like I'm missing a a piece of info somewhere.

You need a few shots of whiskey my friend... preferably some single malts

Then breathe in a few times and think of all those happy ps5 things... Your happy place lol

Damn... Now i can't wait till after work coz i'm gonna crack open a bottle

Is it normal for the IP address of a PS5 to increment up every so often? Happens after a total power off and shut down. For example if i travel with the console and come back to my home network and reconnect the ip address is different, well the last digit is... I can't understand why a new ip address get assigned?

Edit: Googled it!!

Your PS5 IP address changes because
your router uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign temporary (dynamic) IP addresses. When the console disconnects, the router reclaims the address and assigns a new one upon reconnection to manage limited network resources efficiently

Guess i need a static IP set up on my PS5 to prevent this behaviour! See, each day is a learning day

That's what I did with mine, I had remote play set up for one ip and then it would switch. My isp even changes some times. I've had 5 different public ip addresses associated with the isp in about 10 years so anything that depends on a constant ip gets static addresses.

If you hope to keep using remote play over the internet then it is paramount to have a static ip address.

Ftp? Are you an automated zombie? You have to type the ip address in manually for Filezilla anyway.

Hahahahaha... or you could use better drives. It's not the computer that caused slow extract times, it's the write speed of the drive being extracted to, and if the interface that drive is using is usb then it suffers even more. Best way is to have the drive you are extracting to hot swappable on a sata port.

NeoReibert · Feb 26, 2026

@Wolf85 Why are you calling me automated Zombie? Wtf? Just because I rarely post comments on this site?

What I meant with it is that the PS5 always will have the same IP so that you can remember it more easily when you often use tools to connect to it… that’s it… don’t know what your problem is…

Rasa39 · Feb 26, 2026

Oh boy...oh no...oh dear...you poor soul. Forgive NeoReibert father, for they know not what they have done.

No, I'm referring to the fact that you need everything automated and can't do it for yourself, that's how the money scam has enslaved humanity for thousands of years. The idea of just having someone else do things for you is how you get scammed. Imagine all the "malware" that's baked into the industry standard based on that idea alone.

Talking of Zombies, anyone played Silent Hill 2 in the dark. Damn gives me the heebie jeebie's. It reminds me of when i used to watch Doctor Who and the Daleks appeared and i'd hide behind a sofa lol...

That reminds me, I have to try Alone in the Dark too me thinks.... and again play it in a dark room at night time too... lol

The ShadowMountPlus developer/maintainer was kind enough to help me out and, from what I've understood, the game wasn't showing up on my console because the FFPKG file that I've created with dump2ufs-gui had fragment size set to 2048 while ShadowMount by default expects 4096. Therefore, by setting the lvd_ufs_sector_size=2048 the game finally installed and is now working properly.

If you need to talk and let it all out, let me know.

I play it in my un-renovated basement, near the old oil tank. The oil tank was what we used back then for the heating system, in case you were wondering.

Here's an example:
