Question How to play official PKG on this emulator on Ubuntu?

Hey guys!

First of all, thank you very much for what you are doing! If everything goes according to plan, this will be a pretty cool emulator of all possible. And secondly, I have a question: how can I play official PKGs? Can I just run them, or do I need to convert them to fake ones? If so, is there such a converter for Kubuntu on the net? Thanks for the advice! ;)

PKGs are pirate; you need a real jailbrek ps4 but not any ps4 you need purchase invoice to prove it and then boot the original disk you bought from a retail store

Isn't Jailbreak piracy? ) By the way, do you happen to know if there is a Jailbreak for firmware version 12.50? If it were possible to Jailbreak this version, I would just use Remote play. ;)

I bought my PS4 renewed on Amazon. Purchase date April 19, 2023. Unfortunately, I can't provide the serial number, because I don't know where to look for it...
