In
PS5Scene news today,
@Kempy161 on
Twitter was able to get the PS4 title
Robinson: The Journey running on his
PlayStation 5 by editing the
NP-PS4AppCategory.txt whitelist via
PS5 FTP stating, "np-ps4appcategory.txt stores the whitelist that stops us from using certain PS4 games on PS5. Edit it via FTP and we can boot into games that we weren't meant to

"
When asked by
@GrimDoe on
Twitter if
Silent Hills PT was also on the list, he
responded:
"No, but thats ok. The list only contains the titles that are allowed to be run, so for games like Robinson or PT we have to put them back on the list ourselves."
He also notes
HERE and
HERE on Twitter: "If anyone wants the whitelist file path, it's
/mnt/sandbox/NPXS40000_000/(string of numbers+letters)/priv/ps4appcategory/np-ps4appcategory.txt
There is another version of the file you can try in
/system_data/priv/ps4appcategory/np-ps4appcategory.txt"
Video game hacker and modder extraordinaire
@manfightdragon also reaffirmed this on
Twitter, to quote:
"Using the new PS5 hack, Kempy managed to edit the whitelist on PS5 which prevents you from playing certain PS4 games (yes, such as P.T.) on the console. He doesn't have access to a copy of P.T. on his account, sadly. But tested it with Robinson: The Journey and it works."
