Hacking A couple questions about APP2USB

[KiiWii]

was looking around to figure this out. i have a few questions:
1) i just started moving all my backups to usb. but i dont think ill be able to tell which game is which on windows. Is there a win tool that could list the titles/games?
2) Do the updates transfer to External HDD?
3) Is there a way to skip installation on console. Can we just copying the game on hard drive?

1, Lmans pkg viewer can tell you what each pkg is, not in batch though.
2, yes
3, nope

Is the app.pkg file that gets transferred from internal to external using APP2USB exactly the same as the original pkg file used for installation?
If so, could this app.pkg file be placed on the root of the external drive and used to install the game again, if needed?
Thanks.

@KiiWii A few games doesnt working if I place app.pkg to CUSA*** folder for skip copying.(CHECK_USB)
If i let the copy game via apptousb internal to external, they works. So I cant trust the skip copying method.
How can it fix?

Whoa, necro bump.

I don’t use app2usb anymore, so I can’t assist you, sorry bud.

Ok like a Dumbass the first thing I did was select app2usb not knowing anything about it. All I had at the time was a 128gb flash drive pugged in when I selected it and it ran through. Did I just totally destroy everything?
