Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Insert the disc into your PS4 console and wait for it to be recognised by the system.
- Launch the disc from the PS4 home menu to activate the BD-J boot sequence.
- Wait for the image injection — an image file will be loaded automatically. Once the process begins, press the PS button on your controller to return to the home screen.
- Restart your console from the power source (full power cycle), then relaunch the disc.
- Confirm success — when the GoldHEN icon appears in the upper-left corner of your screen, the activation is complete. If the icon does not appear, repeat the power restart and relaunch process until it does.
Tip: Always perform a full power-cycle restart (not sleep mode) between disc runs for best results.
