Maybe it is just 1 of those games that doesnt work as fpkg like littlemisskittn said, does it work as a folder game/exfat?
I use https://github.com/thanhsondev/PSVIETHOA-FPKG-Builder personnally does the job

from your previous post it seems you have the updated kstuff and correct a53 have you installed other fpkg backups prior? or is this the 1st?
whats your payload setup & jb process

no first ps5 fpkg, ps4 no problem, I tried rebooting, jailbreak from fresh, went into payload manager ran the couple elf files as indicated, seemed everything was ok, no errors, but nhl 26 still has lock symbol next to it and unable to start

tomorrow i'll mess around with trying another kstuff version, only thing I know to try really

If i enter rest mode with a fpkg game running the console will crush because it need to re run the a53 payload?

Well looks like on 12.xx and 13.xx bros will have to wait a little more for their fpkgs

Honestly I don't even knows what he means by that, is not a kernel or hv so what GTAVI has to do with it.

Why he is @ rockstar and sony? this is calling for a unwanted atettion.

Ok here we go both facts and my personal speculation:

Facts: they have a exploit/workaround for A53 up to 13.60 AND 14.00.
Remember it’s A53 exploit OR HV exploit that’s needed for fpkg to run.

So what he means by above is that this is their last exploit/workaround for a53 that isn’t patched.
So we will probably have to wait for fpkg support until after GTA 6 is released.
To not burn that exploit to Sony ahead of GTA 6.

My own personal speculation:
All the drama and showing of both JB and HV is somewhat a little bit to interesting timewise to GTA6 for it to be completely random.
If you where a little bit a conspiracy believer, you could think that a part of all that’s happened could be orchestrated to force Sony to show their playing cards.

And make them release fw14 to be able to test private exploits if they are still working and examine the new fw ahead of GTA 6.

A big tell that I think is that there where no a53 exploit over 11.40.
Then they did show of HV exploit and pushed that fpkg would work with this instead.

But now that 14.00 is out by Sony they suddenly ”found” a way to exploit A53 on higher fw (that’s been said to be impossible before)
And that one AND HV is not patched on fw14.
The timing that they ”found” this the same time fw came out… A existing bug that’s been there all the time.
Hmm….

To me this was a poker showdown between hackers and Sony.
Now that Sony have shown their cards and hackers see that they still have the upperhand then it’s going to be interesting.

One thing for sure, HV will not be realeased same time as JB because there is no need to burn that now. Because A53 exploit still works instead for fpkg…

Since we can install PKGs over the network, I'm wondering if it might eventually be possible to run games directly from an SMB share (folders/ffpfsc)

I assume this is a ‘homebrew’ store?

MrMoriarty · 2026-09-23T12:42:57+0100

Hi all sorry to ask but it's been so long since I looked at the ps5
I'm on 4.03 and using a old esb board for WebKit, that part works ok but I'm stuck on how to see any game or run the new shadowmountplus

Again, what does that have to do with 12.xx?

For fpkg to work you need a exploit for a53 or a HV exploit.

The current a53 exploit works to 11.40, after that Sony made changes to fw so that exploit don’t work anymore.

Now it seems that they have found a new way to workaround/exploit a53 so that can be used for fw 11.60 and all firmware’s above.

That exploit did not get patched on fw14, so they want to hold on to it and release it after GTA 6 is released in hope that Sony won’t find out patch it until then.

Basically it means that there may be a way to play gta 6 as fpkg because we don’t know what fw it will require. If the exploit they are using don’t get burned.
He says it’s the last exploitable bug there is for a53

That’s why fpkg for higher fw than 11.40 will be delayed until after gta6

That's not quite right.

Is the buzz around GTA6 actual hype to play, or just more of a fuck you for starting the death of disc based console games?

I mean it's gonna be on pc at some point, everyone knows the story is gonna suck and is just a vehicle for the gameplay anyway, so spoilers don't really matter.

Not to mention everyone going crazy over discs, which yes, I love me some boxed disc copies, I hate having to buy digital tbh. However, Nintendo just pulled that bullshit with game key cards, and everybody seems to have accepted that pretty fucking quick.

Personally that's why my Switch 1 and PS5 are gonna be my last consoles most likely. I'm not the kind to buy a whole ass console for a single game, I'll just watch a playthrough, save myself $2,000 for the next gen plus 1 game lol

That’s what I’m saying. If there was a fix on 11.60, then it should in theory work on 12.xx as Arksama had it working on 13.60 with whatever new exploit is out there.

It’s looking like if this preorder holds for the Zelda Switch 2, that’s my last new console as far as mainstream ones. I’m sure I’ll be probably picking up a MiSTer handheld or a new Analogue console if those ever come out but as far as the big three, I think that’s it. I like to actually OWN what I buy. As for Nintendo, people are fooled by the illusion that they actually own game key cards when it’s just another container for downloadable content and when it’s not available anymore, they are screwed. Just take a look at the Borderlands 4 thing. People actually have the physical game key cards, but since the game never came out, it’s useless. Just like the “physical games” that the Intellivision Amico came out with.
