Itemzflow PS4 / PS5 Game Manager, Home Menu PKG, Launcher Payloads & etaHEN for PS5

Following the previous updates, PS4Scene developer @LightningMods on Twitter released an open source alternative to Sony's ShellUI PS4 Home Menu and PS4 / PS5 Game Manager called Itemzflow Game Manager alongside an Itemzflow Companion APK to control the Itemz-Daemon launched with Itemzflow from an Android device and Itemzflow Launcher Payloads in the spoiler below with an etaHEN AIO Homebrew Enabler exploit host (based on the modified PS5 host to load PlayStation 5 payloads within the browser from idlesauce) via LightningMods_ supporting PS5 Hacked Consoles in the PS5Scene.

I think it might be caused by Itemzflow daemon.

 

[naxil]

Strange... here itemzflow is not working at all.

Hi all,

Today I have turned on after several months my PS4 Pro, did the JB with usb drive, and when I went to play a game, I got to find out that the save file was gone. I thought at first that I might've deleted it accidentally, but when I went into Storage through the options, there was nothing!

So I went and rebuilt the database, fixed the fpkg database to show all the fpkg games but no saves showing up.

Any ideas of what might've cause it? If there is a way to try repair a broken database, please let me know. Can't find anything looking online

Thanks!

 

[Kendek]

Be careful with GoldHEN Game Debug Settings. Do not select Delete User's All Save Data and Delete All User's All Save Data options. These save files cannot be restored unless you previously copied them to a USB drive.

 

[strot]

@Kendek Thanks for this. I have checked and those options were not selected. Do you know where are the save files stored? currently doing a little search through FTP with FileZilla but yielding nothing.

Even if there is a database fix like the one with fpkg. I have done it through itemzflow and all my themes are gone too. I would suspect something didn't work properly during the first try.

Edit: I have had a few rough days trying to figure out what happened to my PS4 PRO; after rebuilding database because the save games were missing, rebuilding fpkg database and realizing that saves were truly gone, the cherry on top is that with every game I have now I get asked to accept Terms and conditions at every boot.

I have found some old saves backups for earlier games that I have on disc, copied them, but no success.

The accounts on the console were registered and activated via PSN at the time of purchase, so I don't understand what's happening.

The only explanation I have is that something during the rebuilding database phase got corrupted and the FW acts like it's out of the box.

Say I want to restore my (very) old saves, should I activate the accounts?

Thank you for your time!

 

[eagle2003]

I successfully add NFS from my Synology to itemzflow PS5 but i can't start any of games on it. some folders are marked as FILE, some as FOLDER.. so that ones like FILE cant select, but ones marked like FOLDER getting message about param json/sfo.

When i use PS5 dumps, i unpack it on this NFS share, then i copying it on USB HDD and games working. So people with same problems or someone who solved this... please help.

And another info, when i set share i save settings, but next time when i start Itemzflow PS5, share gone.

Thanx in advance and regards!!!

 

[FunnyName]

Finally got a hackable PS4 and got it jailbroken! I'm loving the idea of an emulation system that everyone in my house can access via remote play through PS5s and PCs.

Of course it'll have PS4 games as well so its fully loaded! I'm hoping that once Itemzflow updates, the NFS sharing will work for HEN 11.00 so I can store everything on our server in the loft!

I'm so grateful to the geniuses who figure this stuff out, then make it freely available for smooth brains like me!

You guys rock!

 

[gordonbombay]

I installed GoldHEN on my FW 11.0 PS4 pro last week and am now trying to put a PS4 FPKG game collection together.

I have a jailbroken PS3, but the limited internal HDD space and limited PS2 game compatibility made jailbreaking my PS4 a no-brainer. I also love how easy Itemzflow makes it to move games onto an external HDD. I am wondering though, will there be a NPS released for PS4?

 

[Vincentyeh92reb]

Awesome I’ve been waiting. Great work.The more stable, more features, the better.

 

[Belair]

PS5 = OFW 4.50 (etahen 1.8b + Itemzflow 1.7) = OK
