exFAT support on external HDD... Instructions are kinda ambiguous due to translation I guess... Will test it out after I get home from work...

IT IS REAL
1) works only with fpkg
2) game/app must be before installed as usally on internal
3) copy ps4-pkg2usb.cfg to usb root
4) edit config title_id with game/app title_id
5) always use the same usb port when you installed game
6) to reinstall game to internal hdd, remove and reinstall as usal
tip: if you still have the pkg and you want to avoid wasting time waiting for the file to be copied from the payload on the usb HDD, copy the pkg to X:\PS4\CUSAxxxxx\app.pkg

Oops i didnt see it posted already

That's great, looks very similar to the Database mod that was posted here a couple of months ago that didn't work. Do we know if this also removes the app.pkg from the internal when it copies the file over to the USB?

 

[valenroy]

After reading the instructions more carefully, basically it's a two-way process that requires you to install the game to internal hdd first (as before) before running the payload to transfer it over to the external HDD... it's not the most elegant solution but it's a good start nonetheless, thanks for the work guys. I'm pretty certain it will evolve to the day when the fpkg can be installed directly to the external HDD without the intermediate step.

so i'm guessing we would have to send the payload every time PS4 is started to enable the external HDD?

 

[edrix2004]

Will just wait for a proper tutorial. Hard to tell if the payload was sent cause there's no notification

 

[xenosys]

The payload effectively creates a folder on your HDD ... USB://PS4/CUSAxxxx/App.pkg which contains all the game data that you would normally find on the internal.

Once it's been installed, the console should shut down. You would only need to enable HEN to start the game (as you normally would) when you reboot.

@xenosys

exfat then put PS4 folder in it then put CUSAxxxx in PS4 folder then title.pkg in each CUSAxxxx folder according to title.pkg and install it ?

I have an android with PS4_Serv2 for 4.55 but I never have done how to use hotspot and disconnect wifi and etc. Need a tutorial for newbies. Thanks.
