Backporting PS4 7.02 Games to 5.05 / 6.72 Backported PS4 FPKGs

Proceeding yesterday's PS4 7.02 Full Stack Exploit with Game Dumper & FTP Payloads, PS4Scene users on 7.02 Firmware have been busy testing 7.00-7.02 PS4HEN while Backporting PS4 Games to 5.05 and 6.72 for those who haven't updated their PlayStation 4 system software.

Although AutoBackPort v1.08, PS4 Xplorer v1.27 PKG, PS4 App Lock v1.04 PKG and Easy PKG Extractor v1.06 PKG added support for 7.02 Firmware with the Streets Of Rage Mod PS4 PKG homebrew game confirmed as working on 7.02 with no modifications necessary and we have Mira 7.00-7.02 PS4 Ports with 7.02 PS4 Payloads it's currently NOT recommended to update to 7.02 yet!

When will it be advisable to update to 7.02?

While there's currently a 7.02 PS4 WebKit / Kernel Exploit & Payloads alongside a 7.00-7.02 Full Stack implementation, a PS4 7.02 How to Dump a Game Guide and 7.00-7.02 PS4HEN via @zezu420 (Znullptr on Twitter) there's still work to be done on a Full and Stable PS4 7.02 Jailbreak... so until scene devs state it's fine to update simply remain on your current PS4 Firmware to play newer backported PS4 games for the time being.

Next we'll spotlight 3 members who have been making YouTube videos for those new to the PlayStation 4 Scene and interested in learning:

• @grabman updated yesterday's PS4 7.02 How to Dump a Game Guide with a new 7.02 File Pack after using the latest ChendoChap and 7.00-7.02 PS4HEN as suggested by Znullptr via Twitter.
  
  
• @abben86 (YouTube Channel) reports HERE of a successful FF7R backport to 6.72 and currently is unable to save or load... but may have fixed it as noted HERE today. Check out his video:
  

Update: In his progress update he states the following, "After patching the pkg file with the keystone file from the original dump i can now confirm that it fixed the save/load issue. Game runs fine and with no issues so far on 6.72 system."

He also made available a brief tutorial and helpful video:

• @tecniqueza (Twitter / YouTube Channel) has been using this AutoBackPort_1.08.rar (18.88 MB) file pack to make PS4 game backports including RE3 for 5.05 noting 6.72 doesn't require a backport for the title since the software development kit used was 6.50. Below is a spoiler with some Tweets and related files along with a recent video of his:

@abben86 you are exactly right. Once I allow it to it see the popup. New problem. I have ftp access but when I enter ip apply patch is greyed out any idea? Is it how I type it?

I notice you left that out of video what is syntax/format of ps4 ip address field is it 192.168.0.19:9020? Cause if i do that it is greyed out. Tried adding as firewall exception not sure what else to do?

 

[abben86]

@grabman go to your PS4 network settings - status and note down the ip adress. Thats the only thing you need to type in the backport program. Enable FTP payload then you will see the same ip adress pop up on the PS4 when it starts listening

 

[Piper2603]

@mira32 do you installed the 1.01 patch? If yes, you need to install the backported 1.03 patch too

 

[grabman]

@abben86 unfortunately that's not the answer. Remember I have ftp access. But putting in just the ps4 ip still it is greyed out any ideas? also what should be running on the ps4? The disc based game or the fpkg discless version?

 

[abben86]

@grabman Do you have the disc game installed on your 7.02 system and running in the background? The backporter should have picked up the trophy file through ftp...

 

[grabman]

yes i have disc running on 7.02 and i have ftp access but when i put ip in that box it is greyed out for me

Spoiler

i think maybe it's the ftp payload you have or something. I notice you said I should connect through port 9020 but when i run my ftp payload i can only connect via port 1337? Is this what's going on?

 

[abben86]

@grabman
Im using the zip you provided, so its the same payload. Try exiting filezilla and other ftp programs on your computer and try again. Only have your PS4 FTP and autobackporter.

 

[grabman]

well that's just wonderful. I am out of luck for my 6.72 I guess. Seems like my windows security just blocks this app. Cause obviously I know my ip ya know? And in the pick you can see i currently have ftp access.

This is nothing new. I have tried to use this feature since release it has never worked for me.

some 7.02 downgrade fpkg run in 5.05/6.72 have np-34927-5 error? user account auto logout
