So far I have a Pi Zero W to load GoldHEN and an ExFAT SSD to copy files to. I've been looking up videos to see how to go about doing things. One method I saw was to use AppDumper that is loaded from the same screen as GoldHEN.

Another method is to use the Homebrew Store and the Dump game option that it has. This is the one I've been using to backup games that are installed from a disc. Though I need to connect to the internet to get Homebrew Store to open. I would prefer a way to load it from the Pi Zero as well. Is there a way to do that? Also it gives me a folder which I need another tool to build the package file from.

Another one is PS4-PKG-Backup. Which creates the package files and doesn't require the game to be running. But I think it's only for games that were already installed from a package. Which I means I should have already had the package files to have put it on my system. So I'm not sure what the benefit is. Might this work for games that are transferred from another system?
