Hello all,


Iam have a PS4 on FW 9.00. My 500GB HD is full and i want to upgrade to a 2 TB Harddisk.
I have some legal PSN Games installes (Farcry 6 / The Forest / The Evil Within)
I created a full Backup to a USB Drive. (No Jailbreak active this time - Its a normal official created backup)

What will happen if i swap out the drive and restore this Backup ?

Do i need to access PSN to reactivate the console / PSN Games ?


Greetings,

Chris

To the best of my knowledge, yes I believe you do because it has to sign into PSN to verify the licenses and you can't sign in on 9.00 since it isn't latest firmware. If you swap the drives and restore the backup, I am pretty sure they will have padlocks on the games, so you should dump them on the old hard drive and make them fpkgs before you swap out the hard drive.

you can dump the games, then fpkg them. I don't know if the app dumper has been updated or not, but that would be the easiest way. then, make a gp4, after which, an fpkg. not hard, just time-consuming.

That probably can't be done because of official games. A backup should have full games but without keys. So it would do you know good.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

    @RedColoredStars, I'm a cat person so this game must be for me. :D
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, sounds kinda neat
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.
