Caution

Do not use this version on firmwares below 6.00. On those firmwares this version can make the system flag its database as corrupted and rebuild it.
Use 0.4.4 or newer, which adds games one at a time on those firmwares.

Add-ons, groups of games and settings

New

  • Add-ons (DLC), with data or unlock-only. Add-on pkgs are moved next to their game (ps4/<GAME>/addcont/<ADD-ON TID>/<LABEL>/ac.pkg) and matched by title ID or by the add-on IDs the game lists, so add-ons with another title ID than the game work too. A game is reported ready only after its add-ons are installed.
  • Groups of games: new games are added 5 at a time (configurable), with one system registration per group and a pause between groups, so drives with dozens of games do not overload the console.
  • Settings page in the web panel: folders to search for pkgs (relative to each drive, the root by default), groups on/off and group size, add-ons on/off.
  • Waiting add-ons: add-ons whose game is not on the drive wait and are installed as soon as the game is there; one notification per drive says how many are waiting.
  • Unit tests (bash test/run.sh), run before every build.

Fixes

  • Rest mode no longer removes the games from their mounts; they work again after waking up.
  • A blocked system registration (seen after rest mode) no longer freezes PS4Mount.
  • The web panel answers again after rest mode, and a second PS4Mount can no longer start next to the first.
  • "Failed to mount" caused by a mount left from a disconnected drive.
  • Add-ons of a game served from another drive are no longer logged as installed on the console.

Good to know

  • A running game can use at most about 29 add-ons next to its game and update pkgs: the console has 64 devices for mounting packages and each package uses two. This is a console limit that applies to installed games too.
  • Two or more drives connected at the same time (or a drive with extra partitions) can make the whole console interface slow, with or without PS4Mount.
