Thanks for the report. I've investigated the save data restore flow.

What's happening: PS4-format saves (CUSA00265 is a PS4 title running via backward compatibility) use sealed PFS images. The PS4 emulator on PS5 caches save data internally, and a raw file-level copy back to the console — even byte-for-byte — doesn't always trigger the emulator to remount the save image. So the restored data is on disk, but the game doesn't see it until the save data service is forced to rescan.

Workaround for now: after restoring a PS4 save, close the game completely and reopen it (or restart the console). This forces the emulator to remount the save image and pick up the restored data.

What I've done in the latest PR:

• Added a warning banner on the Saves screen when PS4 saves are present
• Added a PS4-specific warning in the restore confirmation dialog
• Added a post-restore notification hint about restarting the game

Proper fix (future): the real fix is to call the PS5's sceSaveData* syscalls after restore to notify the save data service that the files changed, forcing a remount + reindex. This is more involved (needs NID resolution + kernel-level API calls from the payload) and is tracked as future work.

Can you confirm: after restoring, if you close Minecraft completely (not just suspend) and reopen it, does the world appear? That would confirm the caching theory.

Closing as fixed in 4.1.0 (#204): the Saves screen now shows a warning banner for PS4-format saves, the restore confirmation dialog includes a PS4-specific note about sealed PFS images and the emulator's internal save cache, and the post-restore notification hints at the workaround (close/reopen the game or restart the console). Thanks for raising this!
