Spoiler: Depreciated

This comes following the PS4 6.72 to 5.05 Backporting Tutorial, SELFUtil by Znullptr, PS4 RiPKiT/Modding/Cheat/BackPort Tool and EZ PS4 Downporter utility for backporting 6.72 games to run on 5.05 Firmware with a Jailbroken console.

Here are some PS4 Backporter v1.0.exe notes from his Tweets below:

• Still very much work in progress and has a few bugs. Will release a new version later. A known bug right now is that you can't set the output path to the root of the drive. If you do it wont save the final pkg file.
  
  
• Also won't work with EA titles right now. Due to all the extra patching that's needed to get those games working.
  
  
• Drag pkg file into "input pkg file". Click the button.

Backport 6.72 PS4 Games to 5.05 (Easy Method)

@Baku86 Option 1.

 

[Elenium]

The correct way is this:
1. Main game
2. Backported patch

PS4 supports only one patch for a game at a time. So for RDR2 install main game + backported 1.13 patch.

Patched 1.13 RDR2 works OK on 5.05, but I've packed it manually, not with this tool. Correct backport requires copying and downgrading 2 prx files from the main game, not sure this backporter do it.

The funny thing is there is still one case when patch 1.13 on 5.05 does not work, PS4 Pro and 4K. There is a version of backported 1.13 patch on the internet that just disables "Neo mode (PS4 pro)" in param.sfo, so no 4K and it works. I've enable PS Pro support in my patch but switched the console to 1080P to workaround it.

Hey, @MODDEDWARFARE, I just used the backporter v1.2... and it worked like a dream. Flawless! Thank you once again for the work that you put in with the scene, brother. It truly is inspirational... more than you know.

@Baku86
I believe version 2 is the one to go with. I did the same process with games.

1. Main game
2. Main game fix
3. Update
4. Update fix

Can make backport from patch i love it.

Does anyone know why the backport patch for Control does not work? Game starts then crashes.

@MODDEDWARFARE thank you for your hard work and your tutorials... I've learned ALOT because of your informative and strait forward tutorials!!

@MODDEDWARFARE thanks for clarification

@Elenium you are confusing two different things - patch (which in case on MODDED WARFERE tools should be rather named as fix not patch) and update. If you install it by your suggested way you won't have update 13 at all - just small part of it unless you will make whole new update with all original files. It's possible but I prefer original files and small fixes (patches) over it.

@sapnilbhoi results after installing version 1 and version 2 may be the same on PS4 HDD since patch for update is made from two original pkgs - main game and update. If you do it in order from version 2 most of files (if not all of them) from main game fix will be overwritten.
