There are 3 methods to updating your existing savedata/save files:
- Use n0llptr's Playstation-5-Save-Mounter [Recommended and easiest-to-use]
- Edit or recreate a new save file using the steps in SETUP.md [If your FW isn't supported by the Save Mounter]
- Restore an updated backup with new(er) savedata
Make sure to read the README.md on the Playstation 5 Save Mounter repo.
- If you jailbreak using one of the Artemis/Lua games, you will need to exit the game after the exploit has run. If using any other method to jailbreak, then proceed to Step 1.
- Follow the next steps from the home menu with no games running on your console
- After jailbreaking, you need to load ps5debug on the console. Use at least version
v1.0b5or newer.- Use a payload sender or load it along with the exploit chain.
- Run the Save Mounter and enter your console's IP address -> You should see
