The PS4 Remote PKG Sender is an application that has been inspired by @irefuse and is a refactored version of the original repository. It's based on Electron, Webpack, Vue, Express, Axios, Element-UI, and Node, and it doesn't have any extra dependencies.

This application provides a nice GUI and allows for the creation of a cross-platform application that works on Mac, Linux, and Windows. It includes features like configuring your server with your base path, controlling the server application by click, showing a list of all server-side listed PKGs, and many more.

The fork by Gkiokan includes updates and new features. For example, it was the first Remote Package Sender that supports PKG Install through application requests. It also added PS5 support and fixed HB-Store file URLs. The application is continuously updated with new features and improvements.

Troubleshooting

  • If you get Playstation not available error, check RPI on PS4 and restart it.
  • If you get the White Screen of Dead, use the unpacked version.
