Installer (Setup PKG, `ORPC00001`)

What it does

One linear flow, forward-only (every No skips ahead, nothing loops back): confirm → evict old daemon (via sceKernelLoadStartModule) → copy evict.elf + orbisrpc.bin to /data/payloads/ (mkdir -p + byte-count + FNV hash read-back) → pre-saved config with token (skips entry when valid) → done. Read-only status screen available via decline.

There is no WiFi check. The installer runs sandboxed, so its socket probe measures the app's network stack, not the payload's — and a FAILED line reads like a verdict on Discord itself. The daemon reports real reachability in its own log once started.

The installer never boots anything directly. Starting the daemon is Payload Guest's /data/payloads/ directory — pick evict.elf first (removes old orbisrpc instance), then pick orbisrpc.bin. No loopback ports, no injection, no boot proof to go wrong.

Install flow

confirm → sceKernelLoadStartModule(evict.elf) — kills old daemon
        → copy evict.elf to /data/payloads/evict.elf
        → copy orbisrpc.bin to /data/payloads/orbisrpc.bin
        → save config.json with Discord token (pre-populated)
        → (token entry skipped if already valid)
        → done

The evict.elf is launched via sceKernelLoadStartModule during install — it reads daemon.lock, kills the running daemon, exits. evict.elf stays in /data/payloads/ for future manual use.

No branch ever returns to start. Cancel/skip always moves forward. The only exits are Done, explicit close, or a payload write failure.

Buttons: X = enter, O = back. The confirm dialog uses YESNO focused on Yes — the OpenOrbis default YESNO_FOCUS_NO puts the console's confirm button on No, which inverts the whole wizard.

Console facts encoded

Splash is hidden first thing in main() so module loading in ui_init() happens with the splash already gone — no visible delay between splash hide and first dialog.
Dialog/IME/IME-backend sysmodules + internal SYSTEM/USER/COMMON/PAD modules load before use (order matters — sceCommonDialogInitialize() precedes external module loads; PAD is unloaded on exit).
stat()/fstat() lie about sizes inside the sandbox (observed 4096/4160 for a 2071552-byte file), so install proof is byte count + FNV hash on read-back, and status uses open-existence, never stat.
Config writes are atomic (tmp+fsync+rename) with read-back proof.
IME wait is bounded; asset key charset validated (bad keys blank the activity).
evict.elf is loaded via sceKernelLoadStartModule because kill() is blocked by the sandbox (EPERM).

Auto-start

Payload Guest AutoRun: enable it for orbisrpc once and the daemon starts on every jailbreak. The queue is menu-managed; the installer shows where, it can't write the queue itself.

Building

make -f installer/Makefile (OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN, llvmshim). Staged assets: daemon.elf, evict.elf, config.json. The PKG ships all three — the installer copies both payloads, launches evict.elf to kill the old daemon, and pre-saves the config token. Output: IV0000-ORPC00001_00-ORBISRPCSETUP000.pkg.
