Installation 08 1.4
Split-screen on the PS5, and MCC on a USB drive. Each extra player signs in their own PS5 user and picks up their own DualSense controller, and your MCC files can live on a USB drive instead of internal storage.
New
-
PS5 split-screen with two or more controllers. Before, the PS5 app only passed on the controller of the user in front, so player 2 had no controller. Now it reads the controller of every signed-in user, up to four, with rumble. Players can sign in before or after opening Installation 08, and the menu picks them up within a couple of seconds. Tested with two DualSense controllers.

Updating the PS5 app updates the game. Replace
/data/homebrew/PPSA99908with the new version and the app copies its newinstallation08.exeinto/data/installation08on its next start. You no longer need to copy the exe by hand. Settings and saves stay. -
MCC on a USB drive. Put your MCC folders on a USB drive formatted exFAT, in
installation08/mccat the top of the drive, laid out like the internal folder (installation08/mcc/halo3/…,installation08/mcc/mcc/binaries/win64/…). With the drive plugged in, Installation 08 plays from it instead of/data/installation08/mcc, which frees up the PS5's internal storage. Saves and settings stay on the PS5.
Known limits
- The PS5 doesn't allow PS4 (DualShock 4) controllers in PS5 apps. Installation 08 can see them, but the system sends it no input from them. Each player needs a DualSense.
- LAN co-op starts from the beginning of a mission. The games don't continue a network co-op game from a checkpoint.
- A game type's own options (starting weapons and so on) can't be edited yet.
Updating from 1.3
- PS5: replace
/data/homebrew/PPSA99908with the one inInstallation08-PS5-1.4.zip. The 1.4 app puts the 1.4installation08.exein place the first time it opens. - PC: replace
installation08.exewith the 1.4 one.
Downloads
Installation08-PS5-1.4.zip: the PS5 app. Unzip it and copyPPSA99908to/data/homebrewon the PS5.Installation08-1.4.zip:installation08.exefor a Windows PC, to play LAN games with a PS5, or on the PC itself.
1.3 and 1.4 machines can still play LAN and online games together, because nothing in the network changed. No game files are included, so you need your own copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
The PS5 app contains prospero-win's title and Wine runtime (LGPL 2.1+, source at github.com/mpereiraesaa/prospero-win; the app's changes are in its installation08-app.patch), Mesa (MIT), DXVK 2.6.2 (zlib) and the Lapy helper. SOURCES.txt and LICENSES/ in the app list them all.
