App2USB / AppToUSB by Stooged: A Modification of PKG2USB for PS4

I will post this as a separate thread from the PS4 PKG2USB as the 2 payloads vary and it saves confusion.

Original Post: I was playing around with the ext0 mount and recreating the file structure that would be there if the pkg was installed to external storage.

There is a trick I found where if you copy the CUSAXXXXX folder from /user/app to /mnt/ext0/user/app and then unplug the hdd and plug it back in it causes the ps4 to do a repair and then the game is recognized as installed on external storage and from there there are other issues.

BUT with the great work SiSTRo has done in PKG2USB with the symlinks its a lot easier to manage with exfat and just normal USB.

So building on his PKG2USB and symlinks I modified what I was working on for the ext0 mount to work with the usb0 or usb1 and symlinks.

Downloads:

• 455 Source GIT
• 405 Source GIT
• AppToUsb 5.05 (Latest Release)
• AppToUsb 4.55 (Latest Release)
• AppToUsb 4.05 (Latest Release)
• PS4 App2USB (Scene Collective)

This payload searches the entire /user/app folder and copies all installed fpkg games to usb from the system drive and creates the symlinks like SiSTRo has kindly shown us the ability to do.

If you want to target a single game not the whole folder use PKG2USB.

If you install more games just run the payload again and it will copy any new games to the USB and so on.

With symlinks you are making a link to a directory so you want to pick which USB port to have the hdd on and keep it on that same port or the links will point to the wrong directory. USB0 is what I use.

Thanks again to SiSTRo, xVortex, Anonymous, CelesteBlue!

@fattony88

its your ps4 payload devkit

I added my copy to GitHub
GitHub

look for the ps4-payload- repo

@fabrebatalla18

I just updated it to v13 on Github

it will add the game icons and the pkg name as a txt file to the usb hdd.

you can open the txt file for the game name too.

I might look into adding the display name into the folder too like "resident evil four" like it is in the txt file.

I think we need to get a new definition in the dictionary for "selfless"

Just link it to Stooged !

Thanks for everything you do for the PS4 scene

Spoiler

thanks again have a great day!

on a side note the latest version compiled with out a hitch! THANKS!

@stooged Is it also possible to release a version which does not need to be injected as a payload? So just by accessing an apptousb.html in your web browser? (hosted on wifi stick)

 

[stooged]

@ps3sjaak

Thats what the .js versions are on github

@fattony88 tell me, what do u mean by "also if you are using the new exploit it might cause the ps4 to lagg or freeze its best to use the old exploit."?

what new exploit? are u talking about xvortex compared to holy grail or xvortex old versions or what are u talking about... thank u in advance.

 

[fattony88]

@mtnjustarie I did not say anything of the sort. please check your facts.

 

[mtnjustarie]

@fattony88 its from @stooged quoting you.

 

[fattony88]

@mtnjustarie if you say so, we weren't talking about HEN, we were talking about this thread... ApptoUSB and or you might be confused of our convo back and forth about compiling AppToUSB. Sorry for any inconvience, but for payload playing my games I use the latest HEN from vortex. hope that clears any confusion up.
