# ShadowMount (PS5)
**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**.

##
Key Features
* **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.*

##
Supported Paths
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`
---
##
Installation & Usage
**Prerequisites:**
* Jailbroken PS5 Console.
* **Kstuff v1.6.7**
* *Note: etaHEN and Itemzflow are OPTIONAL. ShadowMount works independently.*
### Method 1: Manual Payload Injection (Port 9021)
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"*.
### Method 2: PLK Autoloader (Recommended)
Add ShadowMount to your `autoload.txt` for **plk-autoloader** to ensure it starts automatically on every boot.
**Sample Configuration:**
```ini
!1000
kstuff.elf
!1000
notify.elf ; Optional - Remove this line if you do not want Rich Toasts
!1000
shadowmount.elf
```
---
##
Notes
* **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.
