v1.3 Beta by VoidWhisper

ShadowMount is a fully automated, background "Auto-Mounter" payload for Jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles. It streamlines the game mounting process by eliminating the need for manual configuration or external tools (such as DumpRunner or Itemzflow). ShadowMount automatically detects, mounts, and installs game dumps from both internal and external storage.

Compatibility: Supports all Jailbroken PS5 firmwares running Kstuff v1.6.7.

• Zero-Touch Automation: No menus, no clicks. ShadowMount scans your storage and installs games automatically.
• No Extra Apps Required: Replaces the need for Itemzflow, webMAN, DumpRunner, DumpInstaller, WebSrv, or the Homebrew Store for mounting operations.
• Automated Asset Management: Automatically handles assets eliminating the need to copy files through other tools.
• Hot-Swap Support: Seamlessly handles unplugging and replugging drives without system instability.
• Batch Processing: Capable of scanning and mounting dozens of games simultaneously in seconds.
• Smart Detection: Intelligently detects previously mounted games on boot and skips them to ensure zero-overhead startup.
• Visual Feedback:
  • System Notifications: Non-intrusive status updates for new installations.
  • Rich Toasts (Optional): Graphical pop-ups confirming "Game Installed".
    • Note: This feature requires notify.elf. It is kept as a separate payload for users who prefer a cleaner experience without pop-ups.

ShadowMount performs a recursive scan of Internal Storage and All USB Ports for the following directory structures:

• /data/homebrew
• /data/etaHEN/games
• /mnt/usb0/homebrew through /mnt/usb7/homebrew
• /mnt/usb0/etaHEN/games through /mnt/usb7/etaHEN/games
• /mnt/ext0/homebrew & /mnt/ext0/etaHEN/games
• /mnt/ext1/homebrew & /mnt/ext1/etaHEN/games

Prerequisites:

• Jailbroken PS5 Console.
• Kstuff v1.6.7
• Note: etaHEN and Itemzflow are OPTIONAL. ShadowMount works independently.

Use a payload sender (such as NetCat GUI or a web-based loader) to send the files to Port 9021.

1. Send notify.elf (Optional).
   • Only send this if you want graphical pop-ups. Skip if you prefer standard notifications.
2. Send shadowmount.elf.
3. Wait for the notification: "ShadowMount v1.2 Beta by VoidWhisper Loaded".

Add ShadowMount to your autoload.txt for plk-autoloader to ensure it starts automatically on every boot.

Sample Configuration:

!1000
kstuff.elf
!1000
notify.elf  ; Optional - Remove this line if you do not want Rich Toasts
!1000
shadowmount.elf

• First Run: If you have a large library, the initial scan may take a few seconds to register all titles.
• Large Games: For massive games (100GB+), allow a few extra seconds for the system to verify file integrity before the "Installed" notification appears.
