did you even bother to read the previous posts? he said his external games are unaffected.

edit: I'm about to put you on my ignore list, because you're an idiot.

So your advice is format the internal and the games on internal will magically reappear with Hen? SuperDan please test that theory format and report back. Don't be angry at me though because I already told you what would happen.

You commented to me that it was about the external. Formatting will not fix any games period.

If I were in your shoes I know how I would handle it no ego involved and I wouldn't care who was giving the info but someone is telling you just to unplug a hard drive, run GoldHen and plug it back in what could possible be the harm in trying that.

An external can even work on a different PS4 with GoldHen even different firmware by simply unplugging, run GoldHen and replugging. My external on 7.55 worked on 6.72 the games showed up.

But that's all I'm going to say on the matter because I don't care that much.

It's all getting a bit personal! Around here I know the ext hd will work i have read a few post about this all week.... You points are vaild not just to me but to those who might have this issue in the future & read this post...

@Jayinem , you're now on my ignore list.

Jayinem · Jan 20, 2022

Don't care because you're giving bad info and he's going to listen to you and be mad at you not my problem.

He said it's not about the external when he brought up external to me before so nevermind that. But please go ahead and format your internal and see if you can get your games on internal back. I encourage you to do that.

You'll never lose any games unless you format.

External you would have to format the external, otherwise you can unplug run hen replug

Internal you can use python script. If you format they are gone.

I encourage you to format despite telling you this and report back. If I'm wrong I'll apologize, but if I'm right you lost all your games.

I assumed people were aware of what formatting a hard drive did such as on PC but I guess I was wrong.

sorry op, I can't really help anymore. this thread is starting to piss me off, so I think it's best to pull myself away from it. if the python script isn't working, new games don't show up when installed to internal, etc., I'm not sure what to suggest anyway. you are using python 2.7 with the script, right? I'm out of ideas aside from formatting. something is wrong somewhere.

It's obvious you don't like being told you're wrong even when you are. You take it personal and blame the person instead of yourself. When he formats one of us will be wrong I agreed to apologize if it's me will you do the same?

I wouldn't be mad at him at all for trying to help me even if it did go wrong... He as always help me & many others like me for years.....

Chill bro.. If it really did go horribly wrong. I could always start again.... ,! It's not a major problem at all.. Just life.. Things go wrong often.. In my world.. & that OK I'm learning at the same time

Im going to format for sure.... Just not yet & yeah it was python 2.7.. I'm just shit outta luck on this one.. Such is the way of things.. It's all gravy! If I lose everything I will start again...

don't format just yet. I'll think it over for a while, if there's anything else that I can think of to do. I'll send you a reply in that one pm you sent me a day or two ago. I just ask if the script failed or did it go through, but didn't change anything?

As far as I can tell nothing changed.. Also there are many people on Google whom got this "other" folder situation so it's fairly common... Me.. I was kinda hoping a permanent hack might solve this as in the ps4 will have more tweaks & possible mods that would fix this... I won't format.. We shall think on this one... One last thing that popped in my head was that... The original owner of the ps4 was my elder son... Who upgraded to a pro so this ps4 was just sitting around ( with me hoping to hack it).. Which I did of course.. But saying all that as soon as he wiped it I noticed that in settings it sti said "jaidens" ps4 so I'm kinda wondering since he deleted his account immediately when I turn it back on... If somehow that effects the boot protocol? .. I'm just guessing here... & still even with his profile gone we could still play the games that are now missing..... I will wait.... Alot of people on Reddit think dB rebuild might do the trick?.. I. Uncertain as I've never used it

have you tried installing a game to internal to see if it goes in the extra folder again? sorry, I had actually forgotten about this thread, but I couldn't think of anything else to try if the script didn't work.

But I must admit I was absolutely shitting my under pants.... & for a moment there when it didn't work at first... & then a 2nd time.... Then panic was real... But in the 3rd time they like magic started popping in all 2 Tb of them... So yeah it's all back to normal for now
