Hey!

I've been using 0.6.1 for a week or so and had great success with it, in fact the only issue I've come across was the inability to save game within Indiana Jones.... That said, would you happen to know the changes within 0.6.2 please?

This is what I know form some of the latest versions and release dates. See below.

fpkg-gui-0.6.8 (16-09)

Improved image checks, including PlayGo — please verify your images.
Fixed an issue with PlayGo map creation.
Default DRM: Standard.
Automatic downgrading of the required software version to the SDK-specified version.

fpkg-gui-0.6.9: (17-09)

Added generation language files from playgo-scenario.json
Validation of the PlayGo configuration has been improved.

fpkg-gui-0.6.10: (03-10)

fixed NAPS errors

fpkg-gui-0.6.11: (04-10)

Added selective file unpacking.
Automatic chunk splitting if playgo*.dat files are present; if the files are missing, they can be extracted from the _sc package using prosperopatches.

I added these versions in a .zip file so that users can use their own preferred version. Linkz:

Seems the only thing missing Is a bdjb or raspberry pi version of relapse or Hv.

ProsperoEden v1.005.000

This alpha keeps each game in a folder of its own with everything that belongs to it, gives cheats their own list, adds a speed limit and a second frame generation method, and fixes a lost graphics device and black boxes that spread over the picture. Performance and compatibility still vary by game.

New and improved

One folder per game. A game can sit in a folder of its own in roms/, together with its update and DLC files, its mods (mods/), its cheats (cheats/) and its own post-processing presets (reshade/). ProsperoEden tells the game from its update and DLC by what each file holds, so the files can have any names. Delete from console removes the folder's update and DLC too. Games downloaded from a source now go into a folder of their own the same way. Your files stay where they are and keep working. See Game files folder.
Cheats in a list of their own. A game's settings have a Cheats row next to Mods: every cheat of the game with its own switch, and an All cheats switch apart from the Mods one. Mods now lists patches and replacement files only. Cheats you chose before stay on.
A game's own post-processing presets. Presets and effects in a game folder's reshade/ are offered in that game's Post-processing list, after the shared ones.
Speed limit (new Performance setting). Settings > Performance > Speed limit, and the same row in a game's own settings: 100% (as before), 150%, 200%, 300% or Unlimited. A game locked to 30 FPS can run faster when the console has time to spare; for a game whose logic follows its frame rate, the whole game runs faster.
MihawkGen frame generation. Frame gen method in Settings > Video, and per game, chooses between MihawkGen, a neural network that comes with the app, and Lossless Scaling with your own copy of it.
Update notices (new setting). Settings > Diagnostics > Update notices turns the update dialog at start off. About still says when a newer version is on homebrew.page.

Fixes

A lost graphics device while a game loads a new area. Long runs of uploads and copies could grow past what the console's GPU takes in one submission, and the game stopped. The graphics driver now splits them.
Black boxes that grew until they covered the screen. A few pixels whose colour was not a number spread through a game's glow and blur effects. Such a colour is now written as black, and stays one pixel.
Games that ask for a large GPU address space start instead of stopping at once.
No update offered for the version already installed, when the app's files named an older version than the program.

If i'm running 12.70, does it make sense for me to update to 13.60 so I have the highest compatible firmware?

Hmm. That's a good question.

Currently there is nothing particularly special about FW 12.xx releases. It's not like, say, 7.61 where it's the last version that supports some exotic and useful exploit, ala the previous hypervisor exploit. P2JB has been supplanted by the much better Relapse, and while brilliant in its time, no one is going to miss it.

Meanwhile, the only major feature introduced in FW 13.xx was PSSR2, which is a fantastic feature, but it is only relevant if you have a PS5 Pro (and if you did, I suspect you would have said as much).

The biggest red flag with 13.xx right now is just that it's so new. It isn't as well tested/documented, and some software packages for jailbroken consoles are still working out the kinks of running on 13.xx.

What it does have going for it is game compatibility, however. It can run SDK 13 game dumps without backports, which can be rather handy.

I think the most pragmatic advice is to stay where you are unless there is a game that requires FW 13.xx that you absolutely must have. Upgrading isn't getting you much else right now, and 12.70 is a relatively popular firmware version.

It depends.. What do you need on 13.60 looking at your current FW right now.
From a personal experience I enjoy 13.60 more than 12.70 back then due to all of the developments regarding 13.60 in specific.

Yeah so when you start the game, it immediately tries to create a save before anything else. With existing backport methods, they don't set a specific value/fix that's needed specifically for this game, which results in the save being corrupted essentially. The game loops trying to read this corrupted save and you get your black screen. Check in the Storage -> Save files (the path is something like that, I'm not in front of my console) in your PS5 settings, you'll see the save for this game, delete it before using my tool to create a backport. I believe the fixes you need to tick are savedata-mount, savedata-prepare, tls-atexit and mapflex-flags for this game, but my tool should recommend the correct fixes after running an analysis.

I tried your tool and now i get this on load.

Try the Console section, or load your crash dumps into the Crash log tab. It should diagnose the issue and suggest a fix, if not, send me the klog and the log files from the program.

Also, make sure you load as many existing backports into the program as kits as you can reasonably find, the more data it has the better. You may be missing some fakelibs that can be grabbed from existing backports.

So I installed Astro bot fpkg on 11.60

Game was hanging on splash screen and please wait and then hanging whole console when I was using kstuff lite 1.11
Found solution on reddit to use kstuff-1.13-fpkg-dr-test5.elf and game now starts fine and is running smooth but Trophies are not installing.

Does anybody know solution for this?

Just letting everybody know that the pkg file I had was broken. I got another one and trophies are working

Good to know since I have the same issue. Will try another pkg.

Yeah, I realized it's a PKG file problem when I installed different game from PKG and trophies appeared. So then I started looking for another PKG file of Astro bot and it worked this time

You are welcome!

For the USB Drive: connect it to the PS5 and choose Settings → Storage → USB Extended Storage → Format as USB Extended Storage. The PS5 formats it itself, it doesn’t need to be exFAT beforehand. PS5 games must be moved back to console storage to play, but PS4 games can run from the drive. (It should work, but I only use my USB drive to play music so far)

Saving screenshots, video clips, playing music: Format your USB drive as exFAT on your PC, then create a folder named ‘Music’ in the drive’s root directory.

For the LAN configuration you need to configure PS5Upload, your PC Network - Ethernet Adapter and your PS5.

1. Connect your LAN Cable between your PC and PS5.
2. Open your Network Manager on your PC, ( on Windows press Win+R (Run Dialog) → type ncpa.cpl (Network Manager) ) → Right click on Ethernet → Internet protocol → TCP/IPv4 → Settings → type in IP-Adress: 192.168.88.1 → Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 → confirm
3. On the PS5 go to Network Settings → LAN Connection → advanced settings → type in IP adress: 192.168.88.2 → Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 → Standard Gateway: 192.168.88.1 → confirm
4. In PS5Upload you need to go to "Connection" and enter this IP adress: "192.168.88.2", it will give you a success message.
5. All set, make sure the ps5upload.elf is loaded on your PS5.

Thank you so much !
Quick question: what payloads are essential for a jailbroken PS5? Also, are there any essential homebrew applications? Thanks

In most of the cases kstuff + SM+ is plenty.

Kstuff: https://github.com/EchoStretch/kstuff-lite/releases/tag/v1.11
SM+: https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus/releases/tag/1.7beta5

I would Use Y2JB to JB: https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-y2jb-autoloader and use the payloadmanager to autoload: https://github.com/itsPLK/ps5-payload-manager/releases/tag/v0.6.1

Hello
I'm having trouble installing PS5 fpkg files.

I have the latest shadowmountplus, kstuff, and a53 ppr payloads, on fw 4.5 .
I tried installing through debug settings and through other package management homebrew apps, same result: An error occured CE-109573-5

Did anyone come across such difficulties?
Note: I did not make the fpkg files myself- got them from the usual place(s).
I tried spiderman2, hades 2, assassins creed blackflag, and cocoon.

View attachment 595533

Well since nobody replied to my post, I will reply to it myself with a little update:

I discovered that the fpkg files I had were somehow corrupted. Tried installing them via PS5Upload and got an error. Turns out that the source was bad!

Created my own fpkg of my discs and managed to install them without any issues.

Also: noticed that for some games to run properly, they require loading 'kstuff toggle' in addition to SM+, KStuff, and a53 ppr.
I hope this helps anyone struggling with fpkg on low FW!

BTW I just tested this with my toolkit and it works so I suspect you're missing kits, did you import any? Also, I just pushed a new release with a native Windows build https://github.com/cherryduck/ps5-backport-toolkit

Schweino · 2026-10-18T11:51:45+0100

Is it possible to use a save file from one region on another region of the same title?

For instance: I have played Astro Bot PPSA21564 – USA and want to continue with Astro Bot PPSA21567 – EUR. When starting the latter the save of the USA version doesn't get recognized (the 2 versions of the games can also be installed next to each other on the PS5 and are seen as 2 different games).

Is it possible to dump the PPSA21564 save with Garlic save manager and reupload it to PPSA21567 so I can continue where I left off?

i also have a few smaller indie games (unity engine), that crash during startup (Olliolli world, jet cave adventure). tried different payloads and kstuff. I wonder if there are bad dumps out there or we are doing something wrong. did the dumps you have come in rar?

maybe we should have a tool/database that checks the crc of these dumps. i would like to have vanilla/clean dumps and then add patches to them.

PS5 Backport Toolkit v0.1.0: now on Windows (formerly PS5 Backport Linux)

The tool has a new name and now runs on Windows 10/11 as well as Linux. Same features, same app and command line.

What's new

Windows support: unzip and run ps5bp-gui.exe. No Python or git needed.
Ready-made downloads: a Windows zip and a Linux tarball on the releases page, so you no longer have to build it yourself. The Linux build runs on any distro from 2022 on.
Same results on both systems: a test backport of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 came out byte-for-byte identical on Windows and Linux.
New name: PS5 Backport Toolkit. The old GitHub link redirects automatically.

Download: GitHub releases
Source and README: https://github.com/cherryduck/ps5-backport-toolkit

Notes

Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time because the exe isn't code-signed: More info → Run anyway.
Kits and history are kept in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ps5bp on Windows and ~/.local/share/ps5bp on Linux.
The Console tab (live klog and crash dumps) hasn't been tested from Windows against a real PS5 yet, so reports from Windows users are especially welcome.

As before, please include a klog or what the Console tab said with any bug report.
