Can this work without having to install pkg files first on system storage then app2usb? Forexample run the pkgs direct from external storage after downlaoding pkgs to ext-HDD
pros for app2usb: you can use any usb drive to run your games/apps, you can also reuse that drive to other things as well cons for app2usb: its the same with internal hdd, once a rebuild db happens, your fucked. --- pros for extended storage: easy to use, tightly integrated to the ps4 system, you dont need PC to manage your PS4 games and last but not the least, if rebuild db happens you will be fine, all you have to do is enable GoldHEN, and go to Settings >> Devices >> USB Storage and choose Use the drive, it may ask you to check the drive first and after that, you press the ps button and youll see one by one, all the games starting to pop back again. cons for extended storage: you cant use that drive for anything else. you can only use that drive for ps4 only. the drive is not locked to ps4, its just the filesystem used on it is encrypted so you cant really mess something on it. you can still reuse the drive by reformatting it but that same goes to your games being deleted as well. -- my recommendation for this is, if you really dont mind dedicating that drive for PS4 only use, then just use the extended storage, heck it is actually recommended to use extended storage specially for your fake package because of the failsafe it had (Rebuild Database disaster which can happen depending how badly fucked up the kernel panic you experience).
Game saves are stored in the PS4 like always. As for the database rebuilds, I haven't used App2USB yet but haven't had an issue with the 20 or so rebuilds my PS4 Pro has done since being on V9.00 Jailbreak. Internal and external hdd's are full with fpkg's on both. Picked up 2x 4TB hdd's today to add to the library
For anyone that gets a DB error and you have to "rebuild your database" the current DB_rebuilder scripts will NOT fix External Fkpgs when you run the scripts on FW9.00. It will fix internal games only. On previous FWs db_rebuilder would also fix external HD fpkgs but not on FW9.00
These are mainly the reasons why you’ll probably want to do this method instead of the regular external hard drive mode. 13:30 I have been looking for something like this before but I have a bunch of games on my externa hard drive now. I would have to format the drive and install all those games again and I don’t think it’s worth it in my case. I’m just going to buy an extra one but thank you for the video.
when is the 9.03 gailbrek? my ps4 is set to automatic update and i regret it. the 9.00 gail break is awesome! i wish 9.03 jail break is like or better than. 9.00.
That is a great explanation I wonder if it's possible to install the game in the external drive without the need to install it in the internal drive than move it to the external drive
I'm going to do this with EVERY game on my ps4. That way I have all my pkg's backed up and no need of redownloading if I need to. Then I'll just use my ps4 backup and restore to restore my internal hdd back the way it was. Sounds like a good plan to me. It gonna be a long road so let's get to it.
whn on the last jailbreak i had a 4tb exfat full of games working. i updated to 9.0 jailbreak and now my hardrive says usb not compatible, format to use. and ideas why? i got another 1tb harddrive on exfat and that works fine.
Awesome video walkthrough as always thank you, it worked, weird how the PS4 still thinks it has that space taken when the EXHDD is connected to the PS4, but when disconnecting the EXHDD it clears the storage space on how much is in the internal, any who by any way do you or is there a video and way to transfer the games back into internal like in the same method or similar to App2USB?
So if I had a fake pkg file to install, I would have to first install that on to the system and then later move it back to usb to play it from there? Is there no way to directly install on usb drive ?
Hey modded warfare, love you're videos, I have a question on this video, I've noticed you using an external hard drive with capacity 229gb as extended storage, to my understanding you can only use a drive of 250gb to 8tb, is there something you did to get this to work
Great explanation! What is the largest size of HDD you can use? Could I get a 16TB drive and use APP2USB to use all that space for game storage/playing? I believe for external storage thru the PS4 settings the max size of the hard drive is 8GB
After jailbreaking my PS4 on 9.0, it often won't turn on and the light pulses blue. I leave it in rest mode to avoid having to use the usb again and every third time (let's say) when I try to wake it up from rest mode, the tv screen stays in really dark blue (almost black) color and the ON button on my PS pulses blue. Any experience with this?
Why after transferring games to the external hdd the name of the game looks like a very long bunch of letters and numbers and then it can not be removed / renamed as windows swear on the length of the name. Everything is fine in your video. Why so and what to do about it?
Would this help to prevent the "External storage is corrupt" error we get when the PS4 crashes out of Rest Mode like sometimes happens? If we don't have external storage but this type of spoofing it seems like a great way to prevent that issue.
So my internal HDD is now showing almost full. If I add games that take up more than the "Free Space" left on the internal HDD, will the installation fail? If not, how does this reflect if i keep installing past the available space on the internal HDD?
Btw that PSXplorer app is terrible! You should do a video on data transfer via ethernet from PS4 directly to PC! Far far better & far far faster. I get around 70-80mbps 👍🏻
@@troy1993 I hope we get a jailbreak soon because I can’t wait to play all those games for free I don’t feel like paying and I don’t play online games anymore
First of all thanks a lot for all the interesting videos! I whould highly appreciate if you could make an educational video to inform us for what reasons you cant play games that require a higher firmware on a jailbroken console with a lower firmware. Was this always the case on all consoles like ps3, nintendo swiitch or other handheld like 3ds or psvita? How it was made possible to backport some ps4 games to a lower firmware (which i dont remember right now) not long ago. i have a jailbroken ps4 on 9.00. But my main consern mostly as a ps5 owner, and i think a lot more people here will have the same question as well, does it worth to wait the jailbreak for 4.03 on ps5. By the time that the jailbreak might come it may be years and i dont know what is the potential of a jailbreak. Lets say is it possible for someone with a jailbroken ps5 to have higher possibilities to jailbreak his console on a later firmware? Also is there any possibility for hackers to find a way to stop this cat and mouse game and be able to always backport every game on a lower firmware of ps4 or ps5? I have searched a lot about these and more like these answers and i am lost in the process as i cant find clear answers.Thanks again!
@@MODDEDWARFARE That is, you can write the IDs of games not only those that are installed inside the console memory? Or do you have to install the game to the internal one first, and then transfer it. But then it still writes that there is no space to install. How does it work?

Question: How do you copy a game package from your PC to external drive, plug it into the PS4 and start playing without having to install to game on the PS4 first and copying it to the external drive via the app2USB payload?
Hi MW useful tutorial thanks Ok let me give you a scenario that is troubling me. My app ids are displayed on Orbis Toolbox from my hard drive, that may be located on a external drive, The majority of these games are on my external drive Orbis Toolbox lists the game id for installed games on either the internal or external drive. Is there a way of grabbing this information so I can move or remove games that aren't installed but are taking up space on my external drive. For example I have a 3TB drive with 80% of the games ready to rock on the PS4 how do I know what's sitting on my external drive but not ready to run as the games have been deleted from the PS4 but remain on my external drive.
So it can only copy from the internal harddisk and not the extended storage? Can you also check via Xplorer to see the mount point for the usb drive and the extended storage? As for the performance of heavier games, will it be affected? Like loading times or game performance?
I know im late to your videos here but im curious. If I didnt wanna go this route but still use my external HDD to store my games. Could I connect my pc to ps4 via ethernet cable and just ftp the fpkg's to my ps4 then install them and then move them to my external for storage there and play the games from my external drive that way?

pros for app2usb: you can use any usb drive to run your games/apps, you can also reuse that drive to other things as well

---
pros for extended storage: easy to use, tightly integrated to the ps4 system, you dont need PC to manage your PS4 games and last but not the least, if rebuild db happens you will be fine, all you have to do is enable GoldHEN, and go to Settings >> Devices >> USB Storage and choose Use the drive, it may ask you to check the drive first and after that, you press the ps button and youll see one by one, all the games starting to pop back again.
cons for extended storage: you cant use that drive for anything else. you can only use that drive for ps4 only. the drive is not locked to ps4, its just the filesystem used on it is encrypted so you cant really mess something on it. you can still reuse the drive by reformatting it but that same goes to your games being deleted as well.

my recommendation for this is, if you really dont mind dedicating that drive for PS4 only use, then just use the extended storage, heck it is actually recommended to use extended storage specially for your fake package because of the failsafe it had (Rebuild Database disaster which can happen depending how badly fucked up the kernel panic you experience).
and where are the saves stored with app2usb? are they actually stored in the hdd or in the ps4?
Game saves are stored in the PS4 like always. As for the database rebuilds, I haven't used App2USB yet but haven't had an issue with the 20 or so rebuilds my PS4 Pro has done since being on V9.00 Jailbreak.
