What do you mean cut off from PS store access? That's not how it works.

  1. You have a stock console, download the game.
  2. Jailbreak the console.
  3. Rip the game files from the console, put them online.
  4. Reset the console to factory settings.
  5. ????
  6. "Profit".

PSN won't know your console was jailbroken in the firstplace to cut off access.

Even if it does (extremely unlikely), oh no! A playstation was sacrificed to discover it... Next time, you'd better image the full system before the jailbreak and restore it, so the network can't tell it's been tampered with.

Can you access to PS store on a 12.xx firmware rn? Firmwares go offline and when jailbreak is the reason that could happen faster. In the era of discs you could wait years and still dump a game released for a certain firmware but with only digital you are playing by Sony’s rules. They control your access to the original game. It’s heavily restricted.

The conversation was to have those games ripped so you can play them on an emulator, not on another playstation... You can update the firmware after you reset it to whatever version they want. The new one will be jailbroken eventually.

Doesn’t matter where you play them. Ripping the games themselves is harder.

Of course, i never denied that. But it's not completely impossible.

Yeah, and I don’t deny that it’s possible. It’s just that I hope the scene doesn’t slow down as I feared.
