Hacking Question about updating from 5.05 to 6.72

[smichal]

Hi,

I have my PS4 on 5.05 with HEN and several games installed.

Thing is I want to try a few games that don't work properly on 5.05 (like "Erica") and also want to play some original discs, so I was thinking about updating to 6.72.

So, I assume I just have to get the specific firmware for my region (EU) from the firmware archive thread, and just update normally with it,

but what I want to know is that if this will break my current library of games (backport patched especially) or make them disappear, and if so, whether I will be able to restore them with a DB/userdata backup I made from 5.05 without issue.

Also if there is any other issue you'd like to mention please do so (already know that it's not as stable as 5.05)

thanks!

I can't comment on whether your backups will be affected but 6.72 is absolutely fine for me. The odd 'out of memory' error but buttery smooth most of the time.

Good luck!
