Hey again,

This bug has worked for me couple weeks ago, now I'm getting a new NP-117739-8 error. How about the others? Instead of working it just throws me this error.

If we can access psn on exploit shouldn't any game or update be dumpable?
No, If something requires Firmware 4.05 and beyond it wont run and/or update the game until you update your system.

Its great for downloading content that requires 4.03 or less tho.
I use this mostly to download DLC for older PS4 games and Stuff like that.

I think it does not more work

update 4.50 is from 12.01
and spidy Update 1.006 is from 12.10

matrix demo was also red and want an update, but after rest mode it fixed itself.
But spidy stay forever in this state

Maybe I'll update too, let's see, I only want the ps5 exclusives anyway, I have a 3090. So even when the jailbreak comes, it will be restricted for months, and we won't be able to play anything new. Then there are almost no (new or much) games with 4.03

I’ve updated, not sure if we will se a public release so early in the consoles life, not impossible, but I feel unlikely. If I’m wrong and it comes soon hey that’s great!

Just got a new console on 3.20, tried the bug, no dice. Updated to 4.00, no dice, updated to 4.03, bingo!

Was able to log in without pulling 4.50 update and download all of my old PS4 games.

No luck on enabling Offline Play though, kept spamming the button until I got an error (while connected to PSN), but still disabled.

I did restore licenses and put the console to rest mode overnight, but I still get an error that content cannot be opened. Any suggestions?

You just need to quickly alternate between PS plus and PS now, iv gotten it to work in under 30 seconds now. Anything released after or flagged as fw version will be locked. I proved this for myself by getting the matrix demo to work after updating to 4.03 while it didn't work on 4.02. Also did no PS4 game what so ever work after downloading?

Nope, no PS4 or PS5 games work, all downloaded fine, but every one of them says I don't have rights to use it. I did the spam of PS plus and PS now, the store is now available and I can buy / download games, but for whatever reason cannot launch them. Restore licenses works without any errors at all, but Offline Play doesn't enable no matter what I try. None of the games open even when I restore licenses.

Hmm thats strange, i never had that issue. You do have your account connected to PSN correct? Also pls do not update past 4.03, i did becuase i wanted to play aeterna noctis (hard as hell metroidvania btw). I know how tempting it is but it's not worth it.

Have my PS4 on 5.05 to hold me over for now, still a huge backlog to go through!

My PSNow and PS plus are in the game library folder, that wouldn't make a difference right?

I spam them, get the error message, but now the store still asks me to sign in. Am I missing a step in there before I can get the store to open? When I triggered it the first time around, I was able to sign in with my PSN account and it shows my profile picture for the user.

That's smart, just use the PS4 for now for those games, And your ps plus and now should be fine, just try to sign in and then once it doesn't and asks to update cancel out and go right to the other one and just continue to alternate. It will work.

Worked, thanks! Connected to the store again, able to download games again, but still cannot launch any of them, says I don't have the rights. Tried restoring licenses again (successfully), still get the same error message when launching the games.

When I go to enable content sharing and offline play, it gives me a different prompt to update, and will not activate no matter how long I spam that button. Anyone have success activating the offline play while on lower firmware?

Is it noticeably easier alternating between the ps plus and now apps? Also yeah that's strange, i didn't have that issue, but most of them i bought before hand, also if i remember correctly you need to have done the bugged sign in, in order to access the game, then maybe after it has once then you can play offline. I was able to download and play batman return to Arkham using the store bug offline no problems.

Still kind of a pain, since you have to hit each one, then hit sign in, but not too bad. Yeah, I did the bugged sign in, and all of my apps I bought before too (in the early PS4 days), downloaded using my PSN account, but even when I just downloaded them (while online), it won't let me open them. So random!

Just tried deactivating my PS4 on Sony account, maybe that was the culprit, will report back. If anyone has any other suggestions, happy to try!
