Kura v1.5.2

Kura is a free application that scans your drives, identifies every PlayStation game you own, and helps you organise, transfer, and install them — across PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS4, PS5, and PS Vita, in a single library. It reads inside each file for the real title, cover art, and metadata (not the filename), finds duplicates, organises for any console layout, and installs straight to your console.

No installer. No login. No account. Native builds for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), and Linux — plus the kura-loader.elf PS5 payload.

What's new in 1.5.2 — Curator + Genome Map polish

• Curator panel now scrollable. Stats and scan results no longer clip — the panel scrolls properly no matter how many items you have.
• Genome Map overhaul. Franchise-based grouping connects related games across platforms (Resident Evil 2 ↔ RE7, GTA V ↔ San Andreas, Uncharted 4 ↔ Lost Legacy). Bézier curve connections, glow halos, platform-coloured nodes, readable labels, and a colour legend. Edition suffixes and Roman numerals (I–XXXIX) are stripped so sequels connect to their franchise.
• Whitelist-only scan filter. Every item must prove it's PlayStation before it appears — confirmed platform header (PS1–PS5, PSP, Vita), valid PlayStation title ID, or homebrew category. No more PC apps in your game list.
• Backport-aware dupe detection. PS5 backports and firmware variants are no longer flagged as duplicates.
• Retro cover fill. PS1/PS2/PSP items in RAR/ISO archives get cover art automatically from the libretro CDN, with cross-region propagation.
• Hardened auto-updater. Retry loop capped at 30 attempts with error logging.
• 11 new title-ID prefixes. ULJM, UCKS, SLPM, NPXS, NPEA, NPUA, NPJA, NPHA, NPUH, NPEH, NPJH.

Loader (kura-loader.elf)

The bundled PS5 payload is now at revision 20r68 with these additions since 1.3.0:

• PS5 temperature monitoring. /api/vitals reads live CPU and SoC temperatures directly from the kernel sensor — no external tools needed.
• Registry browser. /api/registry exposes a curated set of read-only PS5 system keys — console nickname, HDR mode, boot count, and more.
• Boot-profile waterfall. /api/boot-profile returns startup timing data so the dashboard can render a boot waterfall chart.
• Self-test health verdict. /api/selftest runs a quick diagnostic and returns a pass/fail health status in one call.
• Offline library cache. The loader caches your game list locally on the PS5, so the desktop app can read it even when the console is waking up.
• Media Gallery support. /api/media endpoint for the new screenshot and video clip browser on the dashboard.
• Full Kura branding. Zero legacy name leaks — every popup, toast, and FTP banner says Kura.

Includes everything from 1.4.0 (Media Gallery + dashboard accuracy), 1.3.0 (automatic loader updates + full Kura branding), 1.2.0 (Transfer Queue panel + Console Cleanup), 1.1.1 (fast console-health gate), and the seven tools from 1.1.0.

Which file do I download?

• Windows → kura.exe
• macOS · Apple Silicon → Kura-…-arm64.dmg
• macOS · Intel → Kura-…-x64.dmg
• Linux → Kura-….AppImage
• PS5 payload → kura-loader.elf

macOS first launch: if you see "Kura is damaged and can't be opened", open Terminal and run xattr -cr /Applications/Kura.app once — that's just Gatekeeper blocking an unsigned app, not real damage.
