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.

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!

@stooged Could you add HEN to the payload, please? And whats the changes in v3? Thanks.

 

[lecisco]

@stooged what does it mean this:

Example ignore usage
CUSA01000
CUSA01002
CUSA01003

does it mean that those 3 games will not be installed from internal hdd to usb hdd ?
OR
does it mean that those 3 games will be installed from internal hdd to usb hdd ?

@stooged thanks for giving us the option to choose what to move! if it is possible to specify whether the ini is for titles to ignore or titles to move like @wwywong that would be wonderful. if it isnt then not an issue

@lecisco that they wont be moved to the USB HDD.

@fabrebatalla18
just tweaking it, it should not matter what usb port you use anymore but I'm still working on that.

adding hen isn't really needed for this as you need to run this payload after you install the games with hen not before or with hen.
and you only run it when you want to move games its not something you run every time to play like hen.

@lecisco
ignore means it will not install those titles it will skip them every time the payload is run until you remove the title id from the list
