You replace the file at /system_ex/app/NPXS40140/cdc/bdjstack.jar correct?
and have you sent the unpatch bd elf again?

Yep, tested before and after. Deleted old .jar and replaced with donor jar file from working 8.60. Restarted and checked dvd movie disk and Bluray HD movie disk, same errors but does show disc thumbnail. Ran Y2JB P2JB and unpatched, verified that backup file was there and tried BDJB autoloader disc and same error as dvd movie:
Can’t play the disc CE-110552-4 with Bluray HD movie I get Can’t play the disc. payback of this disc is prohibited CE-110538-8.

PS5 Fw 12.00 bdjstack.jar ☝

Cant remember if its original bdjstack.jar or the allready unpatched bdjstack.jar
Just copy it to /system_ex/app/NPXS40140/cdc/bdjstack.jar and run the bd-j disc, if does not work than you just Need to send the unpatch bd elf file to patch the bdjstack.jar file and you re ready to use the bd-j disc

Will try your jar file thanks.

It’s almost like somehow the region may have got screwed up along the way. Pity I don’t have a UHD disc to try but I’m probably wrong as one would think the BDJB disc I made would work.

Can you go away?

8BitDo makes better joysticks than that.

Why does he have to go away, he makes a valid point seeing this topic is called Exploit guide, not sony stopping phycial media thread. I think he has made his point seeing his posts the last couple of pages. And ignoring him is also not an option because he did contribute a lot before sony annouced that they would stop with physical media

So he is not the only one who is annoyed with replies that has nothing to do what the topic title suggest.

Kura v1.5.0

Kura — one library for every PlayStation

Kura is a free application that scans your drives, identifies every PlayStation game you own, and helps you organise, transfer, and install them — across PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS4, PS5, and PS Vita, in a single library. It reads inside each file for the real title, cover art, and metadata (not the filename), finds duplicates, organises for any console layout, and installs straight to your console.

No installer. No login. No account. Native builds for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), and Linux — plus the kura-loader.elf PS5 payload.

What's new in 1.5.0 — UX consolidation

The toolbar and settings were getting busy. This release tidies everything up without removing any functionality.

Grouped filter dropdowns. The 13 category buttons are now consolidated into clean PLATFORM and MORE dropdown menus — one click shows every platform with live counts, and the button label updates to show your active filter.

Is Elf Arsenal stable on 12.70? Allegedly it kp's on higher FW's resulting in complete system wipes.

If everything works fine then don’t play/renew account activation because you might lose all you games save files

Post automatically merged: Today at 6:53 PM

Any wrong move with account activation you will (not might) you will lose all your current save files lol

I'm using an older firmware so can't speak on that because elf-arsenal is working pretty fine now for me.

As for the account activation, make a note of your actual account details first, elf-arsenal actually shows the ID's so just copy that down somewhere if needed before messing with it.

I'd assume that your saves are still there if you change your account ID on accident. So just change the ID back to the original one you made the saves with, and all the saves should work like normal.

If you wanna activate an account, first use garlic to get your decrypted saves, so you can copy them over to your new account ID.

This is like the reverse of what I did on ps4 to make my legit saves work on my exploited console.

Can we not argue in here AGAIN please? Yeah we've talked about the digital thing, Sony sucks, but dragging it in here is irrelevant.

Sony obviously wants to catch everyone off-guard before GTA 6, so I doubt there'll be any patches soon. But as long as we got a confirmation by the devs the exploit exists, I couldn't care less if they release it even in 2027, just don't give us the "some people complain so we will punish all of you" treatment again

I dont know how relevant that is to the subject of exploits. There is another thread about it so why to talk about it here. This thread is about exploit situation on the PS5. I hate digital only situation on ps5 but still there is another thread about it. Im here to talk and listen about ps5 exploits. Thats the name of it. Lets talk about it and be happy.

By that logic, a payload isn't an exploit, nor is a modded warfare video talking about backports, or a homebrew application that changes your avatar, right ? If this thread were about the state of exploits, it almost certainly wouldn't be 1018 pages long, but less than half that... Everyone contributes what they can and know, and everyone has their own point of view. It's simple: if you don't find what a user is posting interesting, just scroll down and keep reading, that's all there is to it. Like I said, I don't mind anything because I always learn something from everything that users write. That's supposed to be the essence of a thread in a discussion forum... Sorry for the explanation, I'll stop now and yes, be happy...

I'm contemplating buying a lua game to JB my 12.70 but the only way that's serviceable if I can use the Y2JB for userland and that in turn only works with fake activated account which can only be created with EtaHen or Elf Arsenal. EtaHen does not work on 12.70 therefore my question to the community if anyone has been successful running Elf Arsenal on that FW and what setup do they have or advice on one to prevent it from kp.

Elf on the latest version and kstuff from echo is the best setup you can get

If you have stability issues update kstuff it gets one every week or two it seems at this point

Unfortunately there’s not going to be 1 perfect setup and there will always be instability that’s just the nature of the PS5. You’re going to KP eventually

if we disable that security guard named HV, how can we get KP?
