Further steps towards the holy grail...

wasn't 12.00 FW already assumed to be part of the FW range to work with the SW Racers/PS2 Emu exploit?

Have you verified that output? If not, you could just as well flip a coin for the same amount of accuracy. I am currently researching the limitations of LLMs and I cannot stress this enough: If you work with slop machines, do NOT believe them until you can confirm they generated a correct answer.

Yep I was wrong! Damn You AI! Factory recovery returns the file to it's original. But!!! Restoring from a backup does not touch that system file...

Voidshell works great for this, much faster transfers. I've just started using it but it's brilliant. You can't edit any files like in PS5xplorer, but you can have both folders open you want to copy/paste into and can delete files, or upload them directly from your pc if you using the web host.

I found that using the move function causes my ps5 to crash, but the copy function works great, and you can just delete the original after. I also think cut and paste on PS5xplorer crashed my system too, so I don't think the apps can be blamed for that one, might just be my console.

It's much more responsive using the web host, but you can follow the guide and install it locally now, it's just the ps5 webbrowser version runs slower, graphically I mean.

Cos of all a that cake boi! DAYUM!!!

thanks I'll have to check out Voidshell also. I'm still busy copying games to the external drive. 15 games on it so far. pretty good.

do you think I should just keep my 2TB in the internal NVME slot and have the 4TB in external? that's how it is right now. I'm guessing according to you guys games can be played from the internal NVME just fine? thanks

Thanks for clarifying. That basically means we finally got a method to carry over a jailbreak from a public backup to our own private backup? Neat.

Just imagine if someone with a lower firmware released an offline backup to the public. Hell we can barely get people to share a prepatched LUA save individually. Gotta use an entire system backup if you can't get it done manually LOL

I wonder if there are news about fpkg... There is no life with dumped games sizes...

This is the dilemma we face with digital consoles... either you jailbreak it manually following all the steps in various videos or you use a backup like I did from Gezine... In my case that was not an issue as i had a vanialla console at the time...

For a newcome to jailbreaking, following the manaul steps can be daunting as it only takes one mistake to gert yourself into a pickle... and if you only have say a Macbook then things kinda get a little more interesting when sending payloads to the console... At least there is a filezilla app for the Mac which makes life easier

Edit..

So the Blu-Ray userland is now out for 10.20 to 12.00.... Roll on the next piece of the puzzle...

https://github.com/Gezine/BD-UN-JB

BD-UN-JB is RemoteJarLoader that can be used on already jailbroken PS5 upto 12.00 firmware.
It supports on-screen logging and network logging.

Send bdj_unpatch.elf to elfldr to unpatch BD-J.
bdj_unpatch.elf will backup existing bdjstack.jar to bdjstack.jar.bak just in case.

Then burn BD-UN-JB iso and run.

DO NOT REINSTALL FW, IT WILL WIPE THE PATCH AND LOSE BD-JB

susi91 · Mar 21, 2026

Hmm, maybe bdj_unpatch.elf from BD-UN-JB git also work for lower FW, i.e. 10.01 for example?

Crimson Desert graphics mode for consoles

Anyone believe the 'quality' final part of PS5 Pro as fake ? For me is very clear, it's a lie. A BIG ONE!
Just check all previous graphics modes where several of them are about 1440p UPSCALED. And now Sony, or the game developers, or who knows, want to say us that the quality mode is able to run at native 4K. SERIOUSLY ?
To be honest all about video games in the last 2 or 3 years, smells shit.

It's entirely up to you. If you're already copying files then you could keep it external, since you'd need to format it again to use it as an internal.

But you can still keep the 2TB internal one, and any games you know you'll play often, just copy them into that one from your external.

For me, my internal drive is mounted under ext1 and not ext0 like I thought it would be, weird that there's two mounts there but only one internal slot. It says ext1, but it's for the internal, which is external as far as the console is concerned, whereas your actual external will show up under one of the usb mounts.

Or swap the drives around if you don't mind copying the games again, you could use ftp directly to the internal nvme if you don't mind the slower speeds, it would save you some ssd durability on the other drive this way too if you're copying a load of files.

If you're terrified like I was, you can just backup your database files after you've installed all your games. People report that a database rebuild actually deletes the game files, but I've only had one rebuild that deleted the shortcuts like it does on ps4 (after I messed with it for the y2jb).

Lucky I had a backup so after restoring it, all my games where actually still there, ps4 and ps5 ones. I had many database rebuilds that did absolutely nothing, not even wiping the homebrew apps installed directly to the console.

Maybe I just got lucky, but it seems to not be anywhere near as serious as people kept making it out to be. I was shitting bricks when I had my first crash after installing everything and seeing a database rebuild, expecting everything to be yeeted but, nope, it was all good. Just ftp in and backup the database every now and then after you've added/deleted any games if you wanna be cautious.

Guys, does anybody have experience with the Data Transfer feature of the PS5 that can move savegames from one console to another? Is it possible to use that feature with an unactivated donor console that is on a lower firmware? The recipient console is on 13.00. I'm trying to figure out how to move savegames to my new console but I wanna keep the old one on a jailbreakable firmware. Got through one Internet check on the recipient console and it was listing my donor console, but error E2-80D79B60 gets in the way when I try to move forward with the data transfer process.

So what can you do in this case? I'm mean if you already run a JB console you can do stuff. I'f you want to upgrade to 12.00 you can't do anything because you don't have a JB anymore.

So let's say for example you have the SWRR game as a PKG and the save. You load up SWRR and you will get the loader message. If you update to 12.00 you won't have that anymore, because your SWRR game was a fpkg. Your fpkg is not going to load on a 12.00. Or am I missing something here.

Are you trying to transfer the data from the higher firmware console to the lower firmware or the lower to the higher?

Jailbreak for 12.00 has happened, just waiting for an the other stuff to get ported. The lua userland exploits work in all firmwares we just don't have kernel exploits for anything above 12 yet. Unless of course someone can make an elf loader that doesn't require kernel privileges.

Lower to higher. First I thought restoring a backup of the low fw console on the high fw console would do the trick, but then I found out it didn't restore the saves. Those can only be restored on the console that created the backup, because the account that has the saves is a local one. I thought I might still be able to get the saves over without losing the lower fw on my older console using the data transfer, but so far I've hit a roadblock.

Does it work if you load it up on an internal nvme, then just move it over to the other console? Assuming they are on the same account ID of course. Are both consoles exploitable?

I tried it myself but from higher to lower, I didn't expect it to work but I figured I might as well try it.
Obviously it didn't, but lower to higher shouldn't be a problem I think. So you could try loading it all up on an internal nvme and just moving the drive between consoles.

On another note, I put my OG plates back on, I literally never used them but I gave my purple plates to a friend after I ordered some speed hole plates (not dbrand). I've just noticed a slight difference in the plate pins that connect it to the console.

I know it might be irrelevant, but I bring it up because after just swapping the plates back to white, I noticed a 2-3c drop despite making no other changes, the console was already clean etc. So I wonder if the new design somehow helps airflow somehow.

Like maybe the older plates flex once the console is laying horizontally, whereas the newer reinforced once keep the plate at the right distance, allowing for slightly more airflow overall. (you can see slightly on the purple one where the metal fan grill must have been hitting against the plate, I'm using the original stand too.)

Both are made by Foxconn, which I thought only made the fans but I guess not. The white is the OG from my 1200 model, but the coloured plate was bought directly from Sony, and it looks like it was made in early 2021 whereas the white plate is mid 2023.

Also it looks so weird seeing a white and black ps5 after having it be purple from the moment I bought it lol.

Hey Rasa39 where do I put PKG files to install? do I copy those to ext0 data folder? thanks

This is actually really interesting to see great timing..I am in the process of making box plates for our consoles with magnetic tops (for customization) and have been trying to wrap my head around these "hooks" those are the last thing I have to do

Are those the only variations you have noticed? I ask because my understanding was that the console was very picky with the shape/design of these hooks to securely hold the plates

Are there any exploits yet for a ps5 pro with a bluray drive but no activated PSN account?

Yeah I didn't see much on any other difference really. Everything else seemed identical, right down to the molding lines and stuff, which does make sense given that it's the same manufacturer.

You can see the square areas where the hooks must be plastic welded on, so maybe the actual plate is made first, then the process for the hooks was changed, which wouldn't matter because those are added later.

I guess there is some extra plastic inside of the circles that cover the area the PS logo is, the one pictured is the disc drive side hence no logo cutout.

Interestingly though both top plates have wobble in them, it moves up and down at the corner near the power button. Only slightly though so I wonder if it's just a tolerance issue. Since mine are both Foxconn, I wonder if anyone else has a different manufacture of their plates. It's stamped on the disc drive side on both of my sets of plates.

I do have my new black plates with fan cutouts and those hooks/pins mimic the purple plate design. But getting them on, it was a much tighter fit, I had to spank the disc drive side like it was naughty to get it on fully though. And this one has no wobble, so I think it's probably by design on the official ones to make them easier to remove and replace.

Currently testing this new plate so we'll see, seems good so far though, no change in temps outside margin of error, but it does seem like the fan is quieter, and it's still pulling in plenty of air through the original front grills despite also pulling air through the new fan grills, so my nvme should be totally okay.
