🚀 PS5 Upload Suite v5.0.0 — Complete Management Suite

Complete all-in-one PS5 management platform — 104+ MB/s file transfers, live hardware monitoring, full game/save/screenshot management, and deep PS5 integration through a single desktop client + a robust PS5 payload.

📦 Downloads

Load the payload on your PS5: copy ps5_upload_server.elf to /data/etaHEN/payloads/ and run it. You will see a notification PS5 Upload Server: 192.168.0.XXX:9113 - By Manos confirming it's ready.

Install the Android app: download PS5UploadMobile.apk and install it on your Android device (enable "Install from unknown sources").

🆕 What's New in v5.0.0

🖥️ NEW: Hardware Monitor Tab

• System Info — Model (CFI-xxxx), Serial Number, Architecture, OS version
• Physical RAM detection — 5-step fallback chain (PS5-specific API → sysctl chain → 16 GB default)
• Live Sensors — CPU temperature, SoC temperature, CPU frequency, SoC power consumption
• Auto-refresh — Configurable 5-second polling with automatic disconnect detection
• Payload hardened — pthread_mutex_t + 1s cache for sensors, 5s throttle for power API, rejection of abnormal readings

📷 NEW: Screenshots Tab

• Visual Gallery — Live thumbnail previews (200px downsampled for fast loading)
• Smart Cache — Local cache in %TEMP% keyed by remote path hash — zero re-downloads on refresh
• Batch Download — Multi-select and download multiple screenshots
• Clean Delete — Removes ALL 3 files per screenshot (.dat, .meta, .jpg.jpeg) — no more ghost entries in PS5 Media Gallery
• Double-click Preview — Opens in default image viewer
• Full Path Scanning — 5-level recursive scan of /user/av_contents/thumbnails/photo/…

▶️ NEW: Launch Game

• Right-click any mounted game → Launch Game
• Uses low-level sceLncUtilLaunchApp with fallback to sceSystemServiceLaunchApp
• Works on pirated/sideloaded games (bypasses 0x80940005 permission error)
• Triple-strategy launcher with detailed diagnostic error messages

💾 NEW: Save Manager Tab

• Per-game save browsing with metadata
• Game icons fetched and cached from PSN/param.sfo
• Batch download saves to local backup folder
• Upload saves back to PS5
• Size, date, and title ID display

🎮 NEW: Game Details Window

• PSN Cover Art fetched from PlayStation Store
• Full param.json metadata formatted nicely
• Online PSN info: description, genres, age rating, publisher
• Alternate title ID detection (regional variants)
• Browser search fallback if API fails

🔧 Improved Storage Reporting

• ✅ Matches PS5 Settings "Console Storage" formula exactly
• ✅ Total: /user effective + /system_data + /system_ex
• ✅ Free: proper f_bavail across all partitions
• ✅ Accounts for reserved space & per-partition blocksize
• Example real-world PS5: 848 GB total / 354 GB free ✓

🎮 Improved Mount Games

• ✅ Correct sceAppInstUtilAppInstallTitleDir(title_id, "/user/app/", 0) signature
• ✅ Registration BEFORE mount.lnk (correct order)
• ✅ Direct in-payload registration — no external game_mounter.elf dependency
• ✅ Proper DRM patching & metadata copy

🛡️ Stability Overhaul

• ✅ Thread-safe sensor reads — pthread_mutex_t prevents concurrent API crashes
• ✅ API call throttling — SoC power read at most every 5s, sensor cache every 1s
• ✅ Cached static HW info — Read once, serve forever (Model, Serial, OS)
• ✅ Unsafe APIs removed — sceKernelIccGet*, HwHasWlanBt, HwHasOpticalOut (caused crashes)
• ✅ Client busy-flag guard — Interlocked prevents overlapping refreshes
• ✅ Auto-stop timers — Hardware auto-refresh stops on disconnect
• ✅ Graceful reconnect — Connection lost → automatic reconnection attempt

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Launch failed with 0x80940005 — Fixed by using low-level sceLncUtilLaunchApp instead of sceSystemServiceLaunchApp for pirated/mounted games
• Payload crashes on Hardware Tab refresh — Fixed with mutex, caching, and removal of unsafe sceKernelIccGet* APIs
• Connection freezes after auto-refresh enabled — Fixed with busy-flag guard, auto-stop on disconnect, and longer polling interval
• Ghost screenshots in PS5 Media Gallery after delete — Fixed by deleting all 3 associated files (.dat, .meta, .jpg.jpeg)
• Physical RAM showing "—" — Fixed with 5-step detection chain including PS5-specific sceKernelGetDirectMemorySize()
• Wi-Fi / Bluetooth showing "✗ None" — Fixed (hardcoded to true since all PS5 models have it)
• Screenshots showing 0 items — Fixed by scanning correct path /user/av_contents/thumbnails/photo/ (where viewable .jpg.jpeg files live)
• Storage reporting mismatch with PS5 Settings — Fixed with correct aggregation formula

🔧 Technical Details

New Payload Commands

• CMD_LAUNCH_GAME (0x44) — Launch mounted games
• CMD_LIST_SCREENSHOTS (0x45) — Recursive scan of screenshot directories
• CMD_DELETE_SCREENSHOT (0x46) — Clean delete (original + thumbnail + metadata)

New Sony Kernel APIs Used (verified safe)

• sceKernelGetHwModelName / sceKernelGetHwSerialNumber
• sceKernelGetCpuTemperature / sceKernelGetSocSensorTemperature
• sceKernelGetCpuFrequency
• sceKernelGetDirectMemorySize
• sceKernelGetSocPowerConsumption (throttled to 5s)
• sceLncUtilLaunchApp / sceLncUtilInitialize
• sceUserServiceInitialize / sceUserServiceGetForegroundUser

Removed APIs (destabilize payload)

• sceKernelIccGetPowerOperatingTime
• sceKernelIccGetPowerNumberOfBootShutdown
• sceKernelHwHasWlanBt / sceKernelHwHasOpticalOut
• sceShellCoreUtilGetEffectiveTotalSizeOfUserPartition (privileges issue)
