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 thanks for your hard work! like i mentioned, is it possible for you to make it so that we can pick what games transfer and what games dont? not a problem if it isnt. just asking. thanks again

@FFTHEWINNER
I will look into it, it would have to be based on CUSA00000 game id not game names.

@FFTHEWINNER
this should allow you to ignore copying games by putting the title id into the ini file

AppToUsb_455_v2.zip

while the title id (CUSAXXXXX) is in the ini the payload will always skip it each time you run the payload to add more games to usb.

you put the ini in the usb drives PS4 folder if there is no ps4 folder yet just make it.

the ini file layout is like this

Example ignore usage

CUSAXXXX1
CUSAXXXX2
CUSAXXXX3
