Resume: write the sidecar after every completed piece instead of batching every 8. Each piece's bytes are already fdatasync'd and the sidecar write is a tiny atomic tmp+rename, so an unclean kill now re-downloads only the pieces still in flight, not a batch of up-to-8 already-finished ones. Drops the now -unused 'unpersisted' counter. UI: the "parallel download connections" control is now a stepper — two large 54px -/+ buttons around a tabular value, in a row beside its label, instead of a full-width number field for a 1-16 value. Big targets and a clear green focus ring suit controller navigation (the UI is driven by the PS5 pad via the home tile). Tapping -/+ updates and auto-saves that field alone (debounced), applying live on the server.
PatchDL Web UI
Standalone static UI for the planned PS5 patchdl.elf web server.
Open index.html directly for the mock UI, or serve this directory from the
ELF web server. The JavaScript first tries the real API and falls back to demo
data when the API is not available.
The embedded ELF server serves this UI on port 12880 by default.
Expected API
GET /api/status
GET /api/config
POST /api/config
GET /api/titles
GET /api/downloads
POST /api/titles/:title_id/check
POST /api/titles/:title_id/download
POST /api/titles/:title_id/install
POST /api/titles/:title_id/enable
POST /api/titles/:title_id/disable
Policy Model
The UI assumes deny-by-default behavior:
{
"default_policy": "deny",
"download_dir": "/data/patchdl (internal)",
"install_after_download": false,
"delete_pkg_after_install": true,
"source_policy": {
"official": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": true },
"external": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": true },
"shadowmount": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": false },
"unknown": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": false, "allow_install": false }
},
"cdn_allowlist": [
"sgst.prod.dl.playstation.net",
"gst.prod.dl.playstation.net",
"gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net"
]
}
Per-title modes:
disabled
download_only
latest_compatible
pin
check_only
Per-title source fields:
{
"title_id": "PPSA90001_00",
"name": "Shadowmounted Test Title",
"source_type": "shadowmount",
"source_path": "/system_ex/app/PPSA90001_00",
"mount_from": "/mnt/usb0/itemzflow/Shadowmounted Test Title",
"enabled": true,
"mode": "download_only"
}
Supported source_type values:
official
external
shadowmount
unknown
The frontend treats shadowmount as download-only and unknown as blocked for
downloads and installs. Backend code should enforce the same policy even if a
client sends a forged request.
For PS5 game updates, the backend may turn a Sony manifest_url into a merged
local .pkg by downloading all manifest pieces. The delta_url *-DP.pkg is
not shown as a separate user action because it can bootstrap the storage/master
title instead of the installed regional target.
