My situation as follows,
5.05 with PS4HEN 1.6
fpkgs internal HDD
legit games ext HDD

If my ext HDD is already formatted for legit games.. Can I start adding fpkgs to it, simply by using PS4HEN 1.7? Can legit and fpkgs coexist on same ext HDD without reformatting?

My goal is dumping rest of my games to fpkgs on ext HDD, since internal HDD is full.

Appreciate any help, thanks.

You definitely want to be using hen 1.7 at very least (for FPKG's on external), or hen 1.8 for remote package installation.

I don't see why legit and fake cant sit side by side, just remember to back up and db's or use Zer0xFF's python script to restore any lost fake games in the db's if the worst ever happened.

Why hen 1.7? I’ve been using 1.8 to install for a good while with no issue.
