ProsperoStore 1.000.040 (alpha)

Updates no longer delete your files. Still an alpha version: please report problems.

• When the store updates an app, the previous folder is now kept, with anything you had put inside it, in /data/prosperostore/previous/<TITLE ID> (or prosperostore/previous on the app's drive). It stays until that app's next update. Before, an update replaced the app's folder and files added inside it were lost.
• The update message tells you where the previous folder is. Move your files back by FTP if you need them.
• The release ZIP now stores every file as 777, for tools that keep a ZIP's permissions. If the console still says it can't start the app (CE-107750-0) after you copy the folder, see the note under Install in the README.

Tip: keep your own files outside the app's folder when the app allows it.

ProsperoStore 1.000.030 (alpha)

Fixes from user reports. Still an alpha version: please report problems.

• Firmware 13.40 to 13.60: installing works now. The built-in Lapy helper didn't start on these versions.
• Fixed: no catalog after updating from 1.000.000, when ShadowMountPlus 1.7 had run the store without Lapy. The store now takes its own folder back.
• Fixed: "The store's work folder is inside a scanned location" when ShadowMountPlus's manual.lst held a stray line such as /.

Thanks to everyone who sent logs.

ProsperoStore 1.000.020 (alpha)

ProsperoStore now tells you about its own updates when it opens. Still an alpha version: please report problems.

• New: update dialog at start-up. When a newer ProsperoStore is listed, the store asks: Update now, What's new or Skip.
• New: What's new. The release notes open in a scrolling view before you update.
• Skip closes the dialog; it comes back the next time the store opens.

From 1.000.010 or older, open ProsperoStore's page in the store and press Update, or replace the PPSA99000 folder with the one from PPSA99000.zip.

ProsperoStore 1.000.010 (alpha)

Fixes for consoles running ShadowMountPlus 1.7beta4 or newer. Still an alpha version: please report problems.

• Fixed: empty list, "Offline" or "Read only". ShadowMountPlus 1.7 gives apps limited access to /data, and the store took that for full access, so it skipped Lapy. It now checks properly and asks Lapy when it needs to.
• Fixed: "The record of an interrupted operation can't be read. Installing is off." Same cause; installs work again.
• The catalog falls back to the console's own HTTPS library when the store isn't fully elevated.
• Circle no longer closes the store; close it from the console as with any app.

Update: unzip PPSA99000.zip and replace the PPSA99000 folder. Your installed apps and settings stay.

ProsperoStore 1.000.000 (alpha)

First release of ProsperoStore, the native PS5 app store for homebrew.page. This is an alpha version: expect rough edges, and please report problems.

• Browse the whole homebrew.page catalog: Discover with shelves, sections, search and sorting.
• Install, update and uninstall apps with one button; every download is checked against the signed catalog. Uninstalling also removes the home-screen tile; saved data stays.
• Fast installs through a helper started by the payload loader.
• Hand over apps you installed yourself, and choose the install location (internal, extended or USB drive).
• Updates itself when a newer ProsperoStore is listed.
• Controller and USB keyboard, music, sounds, Reduce motion.

Requirements: ShadowMountPlus (1.7beta4 recommended, especially on newer firmware) and a payload loader on port 9021. Lapy's one-shot helper is built in. Tested on firmware 6.02 and 12.70.

Install: unzip PPSA99000.zip and copy the PPSA99000 folder into a folder ShadowMountPlus scans, such as /data/homebrew. See the README for details and known limits.
