hoping someone can help me with this as I'm drawing a blank now apart from having to start completely from scratch which would annoy me having to download everything again.
Basically I had to do a database restore on my ps5. And upon rebooting, a large chunk of my ps4 games on my external drive now won't start. They are all showing as installed but greyed out.
I have restored licences but that didn't work. Tried total power downs, everything I can think of.
There is a pattern to the ones that don't work however. Basically when I got the ps5, I installed about dozen ps4 games onto the internal ssd. Then when I finally connected up my new external drive, I copied them off the ssd, to the external drive. These worked flawlessly until after I did the database reinstall this morning.
So everything I installed to the external drive by default afterwards plays fine, everything I copied from internal ssd to external doesn't.
There is no way to uninstall any of these games as they don't show in system storage either internally or externally, but I can't redownload them as they ate showing install in either library, or in the store.
What can I do from here to get these dozen or so games back?
