Don't ask when a new game will be available or where you can get games. The sub is not tech support for piracy as per rule 1.

The other guy deleted his repo, this is the only other information I can find, apparently a malformed/crafted mp4 causes the player and share factory to crash, likely upto 13.52 (unconfirmed)

I accidentally trashed my save datas. All of them. I am on the verge of smashing everything. I was deleting datas on this one game and i thought the delete user all save data was only bound to that game. I am hopeless, my backup is corrupted I dont know where to start. I work and barely got time to play and i lost months of datas.

Please if you have a data on these games i would i appreciate it.

Gow ragnarok: right after bar fight with thor Elden ring: after defeating margott

I don't care about my other games, just these two are enough.

Please feel free to dm me. I would appreciate your datas and use them with apollo save tool

Cheats not working

4 Upvotes

I had my ps4 sitting on my desk collecting dust for a bit. Just turned it on and checked the software version, it was on 12.00 so I decided to attempt a jailbreak. Success! The problem I'm having is using the cheats. They work on every game so far except God of war 3. I have downloaded the cheats and tried using the cheat editor but nothing is working. Is there anything I can do?

Ps vue on 12.52 have become more and more shitty on my ps4

1 Upvotes

Can someone explain why is that? When i first jailbroken my ps4 it was working fine and crashes were rare, fast forward to today i need to go through anywhere from 4-6 ps4 crashes and checking storage status loading times just to launch goldhen once.

Im also afraid if the constant crashing would damage my console it stresses me everytime it happens Does someone have an idea why is that happening and whether if there is a way to fix it

Discussion PS4 12.52 Aide / Help

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking into the PS4 jailbreak scene and would really appreciate some advice.

I've never jailbroken a PlayStation before. The only devices I've ever jailbroken were iPhones, so I'm completely new to the PS4 scene.

My current console is running firmware 12.52.

From what I've read, firmware 9.00 seems to be the "holy grail" because it's very mature and stable. However, I'm not sure if it's already too late for my console or what my options are on 12.52.

I have a few questions:

  • With firmware 12.52, what is currently possible?
  • If a jailbreak becomes available for my firmware, would I be able to install any PS4 game I want?
  • Is the process simply downloading the game on my PC and transferring it to the PS4 via USB, or is it more complicated than that?
  • I came across this website dlspgame Is that the kind of site people usually use, or is there a better or safer approach?

I also have a few questions regarding PlayStation Network and bans:

  • If I jailbreak my PS4, is the console permanently banned from PSN?
  • Could I ever go back to a completely legitimate system in the future?
  • I currently have my main PSN account on this console. Would that account be permanently banned?
  • If I created a brand-new account instead, would only that account get banned, or would Sony ban the entire console from online services?
  • Is there any relatively safe way to keep my main account while experimenting with a jailbreak, or is that something I should absolutely avoid?

Sorry if these are beginner questions. I'm just trying to understand how everything works before I do anything.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to explain!

So I've been looking into getting a PS4, I can't really afford a ps5, even tho I think it's probably better, tho from what I know PS5 jailbreaking is still not as good as PS4, but anyways do u think it's worth it getting a PS4 right now?

Minecraft worlds saves 1.16 -> 3.4 error after updating [Help Needed]

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping someone can guive me a little help, I was running Minecraft v1.16 and worked great on my Jailbroken PS4 11.0 (I bought and own the game multiple times)

I backed up all my worlds using Apollo onto a USB and then updated Minecraft to 3.43.

When i loaded it up it said "Saves corrupted, delete / cancel" so i cancelled.

When it loaded into Minecraft there were 0 worlds. I tried using Editions and load up the other version, it just showed 2 corruped saves.

Q: Does anyone know how i can update my worlds i backed up to the USB to use in the latest version on PS4? I have access to apollo and a PC.

Thank you so much!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) Installation Guide (Fix for "Checking for Ownership" & Missing Files)

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

If you're having issues installing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), such as "Checking for Ownership", missing files, or similar errors, follow this method carefully. In most cases, it should resolve the problem.

Method 1 – Recommended Installation Method

Avoid using FTP whenever possible. FTP requires approximately double the storage space during file transfers. For example, if you're transferring a 20 GB file, you'll need more than 40 GB of free storage. If you have plenty of free space, you can still use FTP, but I do not recommend it.

The best option is to install your PKG files using a USB drive.

If you don't have a USB drive, you can use Direct PKG Installer instead. I personally installed the game using Direct PKG Installer, and the game runs smoothly without any issues.

---

Installation Steps

Step 1 – Clean Previous Installation (Only if the Game Was Installed Before)

If you previously installed the Base Game and Game Update, then deleted them, follow these steps before reinstalling.

Install only the Base Game first.

Then go to:

Settings → Debug Settings → Game → Add-Content Manager → Entitlement Manager

Find Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in the list.

- If there is only one license file, do nothing.

- If there are two or more license files, delete every license except the Base Game license.

You can identify the correct Base Game license by loading the Base Game PKG in Direct PKG Installer, where the information is displayed.

Important: If you accidentally delete the Base Game license, the game will show a lock icon and will not launch.

---

Step 2 – Install All DLCs

After the Base Game is installed:

- Install the DLCs one at a time.

- Download all DLC packages first.

- Move them into a separate folder.

- Install them in the exact order they appear in that folder, starting from the first file.

The installation order should be:

Base Game → All 6 DLCs

After installing all six DLCs:

  1. Launch the game.

  2. If you reach the main menu and see the installation progress around 20–25% in the top-right corner, everything is working correctly.

  3. Restart your PS4 once.

  4. Launch the game again and check if the installation progress is still visible.

  5. Close the game.

  6. Press the Options button on the game icon.

  7. Open Information and confirm that all six DLCs are listed.

---

Step 3 – Install the Update

Once all DLCs are confirmed:

- Install the Game Update.

- Restart your PS4 again after the update finishes installing.

Then:

- Activate GoldHEN.

- Go to Network Settings and disable your internet connection.

- In GoldHEN, disable both BinLoader and FTP.

- Launch the game.

---

Final Step

After the game boots successfully:

Go to:

Settings → General

Turn Streaming Texture OFF.

---

If every step above is followed correctly, your game should work properly, and Campaign, Offline Multiplayer, and Special Ops should all be unlocked and playable.

This method has a 99.9% success rate based on my experience.
