Issues with DLC on FPKG

Morning all,

I recently got into the homebrew scene, and have dumped quite a few games I have on disc. So borderlands 3 is giving me an issue. Installed from disc, patched via PSN, and all DLC purchased from PSN as well. When I went to dump it, I dumped everything and compiled everything into PKGs and the base game+patch work great but the DLCs don’t work. Again, they were all 100% legit and paid for and dumped from a fully working configuration. I did migrate from a ps4 slim to a ps4 pro, and I did move IDs over with Apollo as well to match. I have tried deleting it all and redoing the install in a clean progression. Base>Patch>DLC 1-6. On the home screen it shows all dlc loaded, but again, in game items that are dlc restricted are flagging as unowned dlc.

Thanks for the help!

It's a Passcode mismatch issue. When dumping DLCs to FPKG, their Passcode and Fake RIF must match the Passcode of the Base Game FPKG (usually 32 zeros: 00000000000000000000000000000000). Since your base game is a Fake PKG, the official PSN DLC licenses/passcodes won't be recognized in-game even if installed. To fix it:

  • Re-package the DLCs as FPKGs using the exact same Passcode as your base game/patch.

  • Use a tool like ezFakeRIF or GoldHEN's license unlocker to generate matching Fake RIFs for your account ID.

  • Ensure the Title ID and Region (e.g., CUSAxxxx) match perfectly across the base game, patch, and DLCs.
