I don't know if this will matter, but you can use the old app.db by hex replacing every instance of the old user id with the new one. I've done this with no issues. there's like 12 or 13 instances of it. it will change the table names, and I think it's the only way to do so.

Just checked it and unfortunately the games in the db were all fake pkgs.

At some point on my 5.05 PS4 I had some officially downloaded PSN games on it. I ended up loosing them when I changed the HDD (official backup did not transfer the licences to the new HDD etc)

It's a long shot but I might have a backed up app.db from before the hdd upgrade.
I have a load of app.db's from various PS4's from various stages so it might take me a wile to search through them but I'll have a look for you.
Many thanks, I have the original rif and idx and maybe, with your help, I can fix the db

thanks for not acknowledging me. I was trying to help by asking on the dev channel, which I still haven't gotten a response, despite you being on my ignore list. now, I know I made the right decision

I was at the first page of the thread and refreshing the page I saw the response from Leeful and replied to him. This at 11:58 PM.

I read your replies (12:11 AM, 13 minutes later my last reply!!!) before I have the time to respond you!
In another thread you attacked me when I wrote that act.dat is not in the folder you said (I checked searching through FTP), now I'm in another thread and I'm asking for a DB and you reply here again with act.dat stuff. That file is not present, as you said, so what I have to reply after you attack me? I don't understand your approach, why are you so aggressive?

As I wrote in another thread my userid is the same as the original!

found it.
This is a backup from 2018 of an app.db from a 5.05 PS4 that was officially activated and used PSN.

From what I can remember...
The only FPKG games were the 2 Worms games and Gauntlet.
RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard was installed with an official disc,
Uncharted™: The Nathan Drake Collection, Tumble VR, Robinson: The Journey, Hustle Kings™ VR and Batman™: Arkham VR were were full paid for games installed from PSN and the rest of the games were downloaded free from PSN.

I also have a UserData backup from this PS4 and I have an act.dat file in the \user\license\ directory alongside the rif and idx files.

The odd thing is I dont have an act.dat file in any of my other backups so maybe the act.dat file is only present on PS4s that have officially logged in and used PSN.

You're a myth!!! Many thanks. Could you add also act.dat and user data? If I found how to manage the rif/idx and along with app.db from PSN I'll share a complete application that download retail games e repair PSN game data for jailbroken console.

For now I'll check this db, thanks again

    I like to get up to speed on that every now and then, see what the newest high wisdom everyone is spouting nowadays.

    If you're not actively involved and only get up to speed every few years or so, you can see the tide of public opinion flapping worse than my dong while I'm skipping naked down a hallway.
