1. Go to `File` then to `Install Packages (PKG)` 1. Use a dumper tool (app/payload) on your jailbroken PS4 to extract your game to a external media storage. ItemzFlow is recommended for dumping both games and updates.
2. A window opens, locate your file(s), select it/them, and `open` it 2. Prepare your game dump by making sure the folder has the right name format: `CUSAxxxxx` (where `xxxxx` is the game's serial).
<br /> Note: You can install multiple PKG files at once. <br /> Most dumping payloads already do this, if the folder name already has this format, skip to step 3.
3. Once finished, the game should appear in the application. 3. Find the game installation folder provided on first boot. This can be found on the settings.
<br /> Make sure to wait until 100%. If the GUI crash or bug, you have to do it again. 4. Take your dump and copy it to the game installation folder.
5. Once finished, the game should appear in the UI.
The process for installing updates is the same:
1. Prepare your dump of the game update by making sure the folder has the right name format: `CUSAxxxxx-patch`/`CUSAxxxxx-UPDATE`
<br /> Most dumping payloads already do this, if the folder name already has this format, skip to step 2.
2. Once finished, the update should be recognized in the UI.
