v1.6 Release Notes

USB Save Management

• Scan USB drives (
  Code:

  /mnt/usb0-7
  ) for saves in
  Code:

  /PS5/SAVEDATA/GARLIC/
  format
  
• Dump to USB — export decrypted saves to USB drive
  
• Import from USB — import USB saves directly to the system with overwrite protection
  
• Multi-USB detection — selector dialog when multiple USB drives are connected
  
• USB saves displayed in a collapsible drawer section below system saves
  
• USB rescan on every page refresh
  

Multi-User Support

• User selector dropdown in the nav bar showing all PS5 users
  
• Reads usernames from
  Code:

  /user/home/<uid>/username.dat
• Save list filtered by selected user (USB saves shown for all users)
  

PS4/PS5 Platform Tabs

• Platform filter tabs — toggle between PS4 and PS5 saves
  
• Each platform tab has its own USB drawer section
  
• Removed scanning of
  Code:

  /data/save_files/
  manual folder
  

Encrypted Save Import

• Import encrypted saves directly in the Import tab — drop a single encrypted file (not just decrypted folders)
  
• PS4 encrypted import: drop save image +
  Code:

  .bin
  sealed key together
  
• Mounts the save, validates
  Code:

  param.sfo
  , and checks account ID before importing
  
• Account ID mismatch modal — prompts to resign when save belongs to a different account, showing both AIDs
  
• Overwrite confirmation — warning modal before overwriting an existing save on the system
  

Account ID via PS5 Registry

• Account ID now read from PS5 registry via
  Code:

  sceRegMgrGetBin
  instead of querying
  Code:

  savedata.db
• Matches registry accounts (1-16) to PS5 users by comparing usernames
  
• More reliable — works even when user has no existing saves in the database
  

Resign Fixes

• PS4: only patches AID at offset
  Code:

  0x15C
  (no UID patching)
  
• PS5: patches both AID at
  Code:

  0x1B8
  and UID at
  Code:

  0x660
• Previous versions incorrectly wrote UID at
  Code:

  0x660
  for all saves, potentially corrupting PS4 saves
  

PS4 Import Fixes

• PS4 saves now correctly import to
  Code:

  /user/home/<uid>/savedata/
  (not
  Code:

  savedata_prospero/
  )
  
• Code:

  .bin
  sealed key companion file is copied alongside the save image
  
• PS4 savedata DB at
  Code:

  /system_data/savedata/
  used instead of
  Code:

  savedata_prospero/

Bug Fixes

• Drag & drop leak — files dropped outside drop zones on resign/import tabs no longer upload to the currently mounted save in browse mode
  
• "Resign Another" button added to resign success screen
  
• Code:

  import_finish
  now accepts
  Code:

  uid
  query parameter for correct user targeting across all import flows
  
• Code:

  mount_by_path
  now sets
  Code:

  g_enc_ps4
  flag for proper PS4/PS5 detection in subsequent operations
  
• Code:

  param.sfo
  all-zeros corruption check applied consistently
