How it works

This tool compares the game and the official firmware release dates then determine if a game is playable on selected firmware or not. This is not 100% accurate but it's pretty decent as this is still WIP.

Built-in Offline Search engine

Took over 500 lines of code to implement a basic search engine for the offline mode and here's how it may become useful whenever you search.

  • Search all by release date

For games released in 2020 Search for 2020

For games released in November (Only type the first 3 letters of the month) Search for Nov

  • Search all by genre

For all Adventure genre Search for adventure

For all Action genre Search for action

  • Search all DLCs

For all DLCs Search for dlc

  • Search by Game ID (WIP, not all IDs are available)

For Final Fantasy VII Remake Search for cusa07187 or Search for cusa16170

Noobs Tutorial:-

  • Download ZIP file from the provided link and extract the file

  • Always run exe as administrator

  • Pick the desired firmware from top left hand corner

  • type the Game Title then search

  • Red results Meaning: Game isn't supported by the firmware you picked (0-5% chance)

  • Orange results Meaning: Game may or may not be supported (20-40% chance)

  • Green results Meaning: Game is most probably (80-95% chance) supported by the firmware
