PS4 1.76 Database Mod by eXtreme to Run Installed PKG's on USB HDD

Following their recent updates, the PlayStation 4 modders at e✘treme-Modding.de shared a PS4 1.76 database modification today for running installed PS4 Package (PKG) files on a USB HDD.

To quote: You can run your installed Apps and Games from USB HDD

I have tested it with OMSK, it’s simple. Install OMSK PKG (OMSK PKG / OMSK Debug PKG / OMSK RIF), copy user/app/NPXS29005 on your USB device (FAT32/exFAT) and delete the folder (NPXS29005) on your PS4 HDD afterwards.

With the Database we can mod a few things in our Home Menu, so you have to edit table tbl_appinfo and search for the title_Id (NPXS29005). Change _org_path to /mnt/usb0/user/app/NPXS29005, that’s all. Now you can run the App only if you plug in your USB device.

Just a solution for people who have a small hard drive in their PS4

Thanks to @HydrogenNGU for the news tip on Twitter!

Update: Here's one more 1.76 database mod from e✘treme for those following, to quote: PS4 1.76 Database Mod – Add your installed PKG’s to Games Folder

Soon we can create custom PKGs to install Games without license. It’s recommended to add your installed PKGs to Games folder in the Home Menu if you have installed a lot of Games.

​

The Database Mod is very simple. Just edit 'dispLocation' -> 2 in app.db to add the Games to the folder. TV & Video is the Games folder, edit 'visible' -> 1.

First thank you for sharing, : Ps4 1.76 full- jailbreak?

 

[Samuze]

It's a good news, but what about the games, is it possible to convert each game to a pkg file and run it ? and also, i am thinking if it is possible for this hack to be ported to higher firmwares ?
