Following the release of libhijacker by illusion and the fact that it is now possible to play Bloodborne (and other titles) at 60 FPS on PS5, here is a short tutorial on how to get your Bloodborne savegame copied from an exploitable PS4 to an exploitable PS5. The tutorial is based on a short tutorial that illusion published on his Discord.
I can't tell at the moment if it's possible to transfer a savegame created with a different CUSA than the CUSA version of the game installed on the PS5 console. On my PS4 I played with a fpkg I created from the same original EU disc version I installed on the PS5.
If you don't know a game CUSA id, you can use Apollo Save Tool to receive it, or search for it on orbispatches.com or prosperopatches.com.

In the guide we learned how to copy PS4 savegames to PS5 on exploitable consoles. Now run Bloodborne on your PS5 and the PS4 Bloodborne character should be loaded.
It didn't work for me the first time I tried it and on PS5 it loaded the original game state. On the second try it worked. It is not necessary to resign the savegame with Apollo after the import, because this corrupts the savegame.
