Requirements

PS5 with a homebrew environment (e.g. via BD-JB or Y2JB)
ShadowMountPlus installed and running
A payload loader such as Payload Manager

Build

export PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/path/to/ps5-payload-sdk
make

Usage

Load SMPlusGui_1.0.0.elf via your payload loader
Open http://<PS5-IP>:7070 in any browser

The PS5 home screen tile is reinstalled on every launch to keep it at the front.

Backup System

Backups are stored in /data/SMPlusGui/backups/ on the PS5.
USB backups go to <USB>/SMPlusGui/ on the connected drive.

Per-backup operations (copy/move/restore/download) are available for both internal and USB backups.
Bulk operations (copy all, move all, download all, delete all) are available in the section footer.
