    PS4 Package Link v0.6.4

    First public release of PS4 Package Link.

    PS4 Package Link is a PS4 homebrew application with a Windows companion for managing and transferring user-authorized PKG files over the local network.

    Features

    • PS4 application with PC connection and Network Library
    • Minimalist Windows PC Companion with built-in Activity Console
    • Saved PS4 connection settings and on-screen IP address input
    • Local PKG library with metadata and artwork extraction
    • Start package installation from the PC without additional confirmation in the PS4 application
    • Persistent PC installation queue with status history
    • PS4 background downloads and automatic installation through the system download service
    • Direct PKG URL downloads to the PC
    • Batch URL downloads:
      • paste multiple links
      • load and save link lists as TXT files
      • check HTTP availability and PKG headers before downloading
      • download sequentially or in parallel, with up to four simultaneous downloads
      • optionally queue downloaded packages automatically for PS4 installation
      • view individual download status and cancel batch downloads
    • apps.json library for small apps/homebrew
    • Add Game workflow for:
      • single or multiple PKG files
      • ZIP, RAR and 7z archives
      • multipart archives
      • split .pkg.0, .pkg.1, etc.
    • Archive extraction progress in the Activity Console, without an additional console window
    • Temporary extraction on the library drive to avoid unnecessary copying between drives
    • HTTP Range support for package transfers
    • Transfer progress, speed and status information
    • Remove from List, Restore to List and Delete PKG from Library actions
    • Polish and English PS4 builds

    PS4 builds

    Two PS4 packages are provided:

    • ps4packagelink_en.pkg — English
    • ps4packagelink_pl.pkg — Polish

    Both variants use the same application identity, so installing one language version replaces the other.

    The Polish build has been tested on hardware.
    The English build uses the same package configuration but has not been separately hardware-tested.

    The latest remote queue and batch download changes still require full end-to-end verification on PS4 hardware.

    Installation

    1. Download the preferred PS4 .pkg.
    2. Install it using the Package Installer on a compatible homebrew-enabled PS4.
    3. Extract the Windows PC Companion archive and launch run.bat.
    4. Connect the PC and PS4 to the same local network.
    5. Configure and save the PC IP address in PS4 Package Link.
    6. Add packages to the PC library and select Install on PS4.

    Keep the PC Companion running while the PS4 downloads packages hosted by it.

    PS4 Package Link must be running and able to communicate with the PC to receive new installation commands. The PC cannot launch a closed or suspended PS4 application.

    Batch URL downloads

    1. Open the Link lists tab in the PC Companion.
    2. Paste links or open a TXT file containing one URL per line.
    3. Select Check HTTP to verify availability and basic PKG headers.
    4. Choose sequential or parallel downloads.
    5. Optionally enable automatic queuing for PS4 installation.
    6. Select Download ready.

    Files are downloaded to the PC library first. When automatic queuing is enabled, successfully downloaded and validated packages are added to the PS4 installation queue.

    HTTP checks confirm availability and basic file structure; they do not guarantee that a package is compatible with your console.

    Archive import

    • RAR, 7z and multipart archive extraction requires 7-Zip on the PC.
    • ZIP archives can be handled directly.
    • For multipart RAR archives, keep all parts in the same folder and select part1.rar.
    • Base Game, Update and DLC PKGs are kept as separate packages.
    • Explicit split files such as game.pkg.0, game.pkg.1, etc. can be reassembled during import.
    • Archives are extracted temporarily on the library drive. Ensure sufficient free space for the extracted contents.
    • Password-protected archives should be extracted manually before adding their PKG files.

    Known limitations

    • Connecting to the PC while a game is running in the background may intermittently cause CE-34878-0. This issue remains under investigation.
    • System background downloads do not guarantee that the Package Link application itself will continue receiving commands while suspended.
    • Close the PS4 application through the PlayStation system menu.
