Guide to loading games from a USB disc drive.
1. Run SwanStationPS5-DiscDaemon.elf using Payload Manager or your preferred payload-sending application.
2. Install the contents of PPSA98510.zip into the homebrew folder so that ShadowMountPlus can locate it.
3. Connect a USB disc drive to the PlayStation and insert your PSX game. If the game is not already installed, it will be installed first and then launched; if it was already installed, it will simply launch.
- USB CD drive discs are now imported and installed automatically and can launch the game without needing the app already open.
- The disc daemon shows more detailed progress and ETA while installing a game from a disc.
- Several-disc games now live in one folder and launch directly from the disc that is currently inserted.
- Improved install flow: clearer install card text, cancel support, and safer handling for disc imports.
- Details panel updates: delete actions are easier to trigger, the bottom bar is cleaner, and the hidden feature was removed.
- Disc import improvements: cover art loads while copying, canceling an import cleans up correctly, and the drive insertion watcher is quieter and more reliable.
- New system settings for BIOS startup, output resolution, USB games folder, and drive probing.
- Build and release flow updates so the packaged zip remains the main release artifact and the disc daemon payload is built and shipped alongside it.
