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)

Changlog via dbsuarez

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!

The js payload is always an an option. Some people already have it hosted on their sites:

​

In this thread, the comment shows a tweet of site hosting the payload over js. I'm self hosting the payload on my LAN web server. I would ask one of the members to relink those new 5.05 js payloads, although the setup is a bit more work.

@jay ross

@stfnmnn1 this only happens when there is a hidden partition on the usb drive, Use a disk manager to delete both and make just 1 exfat partition, Its very common these days for usbs to have 2 partitions so its something i see happening alot to people that dont know

Will you update your Android app to include it as well?

Huge thank you to @stooged for his incredible work, ApptoUSB5.05 was ported over to ESP yesterday by RetroGamer74 and I've used it all night, transferred over 150GB from internal to USB and it works like a charm. Loading times are a tad slower on USB but nothing drastic, so I mostly just use it for less streaming-heavy games or my PS2onPS4 collection.

You're a star, thank you very much!

stooged please js version apptousb for 5.05

@najmudi92 Its been posted

• AppToUsb_html.zip

We dont use .js payloads anymore.
for 505 its just a single html file, you will find the same with all the xvortex payloads.

Just run the one html file from your preferred exploit host/webserver.

Use NetCat GUI to load the payload onto your PS4.
