Hello everyone,
I'm rather new in the PS4 JB scene and I have a question about the PS4 files & folders structure, and identifying specific files.
As you can see in the attached screenshot, I accessed my PS4 HDD content with the ftp goldhen feature and I'm trying to understand what is the purpose of these strange files named "download0.dat" and "download0_info.dat".
On the actual screenshot they are located in folder ROOT/user/download/APP_ID.
All the 7 APP_ID present folders are games/apps that I legally own (The Last of Us Remastered, Detroit Become Human, PS4 Media Player, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Collection, The Last of Us Part II). I don't know what NPXS20113 stands for. The funny thing is that not all games I own have some extra data in this "user/download" folder...
The reason why I am asking this is because I am planning to replace my actual internal HDD with a larger one. The cloning process may fail as I never did this kind of operation before. So, I may be forced to reinstall a brand new full system on my new HDD, and reinstall the games I legally own. As the access to PSN is now totally out-of-question (I have a 9.00 FW jailbroken console) I managed to copy all my games & associated original/encrypted PKGs in a safe place and I'm planning to reinstall them later. In that case reactivating my personal account on the new system may cause me headaches, but let's assume I can achieve it (I think I saw a tutorial somewhere on this forum) and let's assume I can reinstall all the personal PKGs I previously exported, will I miss something if I don't care about the strange *.dat files that we just talked about?
