# Orbit Store 0.6.0 (Beta)

**A big update: Orbit Store now has a native PS5 app.**

- **Orbit on your Games row.** Browse 581 games, explore Discover, manage downloads and view your Library in the new TV app.
- **Open Orbit and get started.** The TV app includes Orbit's download service and can start it when a compatible ELF loader is running.
- **One queue across your screens.** Use the native app on your TV or the browser version on a paired phone or computer. Downloads keep running when you close the TV app.
- **Install the TV app from Orbit.** Open **App settings → TV app** in the browser version, or download `PPSA99177.ffpkg` from this release.

The TV app requires **kstuff and ShadowMountPlus**. Starting its bundled service requires an ELF loader on **port 9021**; you can also start `orbit_store.elf` yourself. Vikingfile browser downloads and App settings open the browser version. The existing Media-tab browser shortcut remains available.

## Install the native TV app

Download `PPSA99177.ffpkg` and its `.sha256` file, verify the checksum, then copy the FFPKG to `/data/homebrew/` on your PS5. Let ShadowMountPlus register it and open **Orbit Store** from the **Games row**. Browse opens first. Source selection is in the browser version; the app's setup screen opens it for you.

If an older Orbit service is already running, stop it deliberately before opening the app so its new bundled service can start. The app preserves a newer saved service. Its first native app version is **1.0.0**, bundled with Orbit service **0.6.0**.

## Use or update the browser version

Download `orbit_store.elf` and its checksum, then run it through your payload manager or ELF loader. Open the Orbit shortcut in the **Media tab**, or pair a phone at `http://<ps5-ip>:34177/` on the same network.

Existing users can update the service through **App settings → Update / reinstall**, choose **Stop Orbit to restart**, then run the saved `/data/orbit-store/orbit_store.elf` or a synced manager copy. Loading a replacement while Orbit is running saves it for the next start. Pairing, source choices and the queue remain saved.

In Orbit 0.6.0, **App settings → TV app** installs the native app from the official feed. Close the TV app before replacing it. If ShadowMountPlus still opens an older app after replacement, restart the console when convenient and run your jailbreak again.

## Downloads and source

- `orbit_store.elf` and `orbit_store.elf.sha256`: download service and browser interface.
- `PPSA99177.ffpkg` and `PPSA99177.ffpkg.sha256`: native TV app, including the same ELF.
- `orbit-store-0.6.0-source-bundle.zip`: complete application source, corresponding dependency sources, licence notices and rebuild instructions for both programs.

Run `shasum -a 256 -c <filename>.sha256` beside each binary to verify it. Source-bundle contents have their own `SOURCE-SHA256SUMS`.

Orbit Store is in **beta**. The game catalogue continues to offer single-file FFPFSC and exFAT options. The TV app FFPKG is Orbit itself; game package installation has not been added. Keep the PS5 awake during downloads. Library actions require a compatible ShadowMount v1 local API. See the [guides](https://github.com/saawant12/orbit-store-ps5/tree/main/guides) for setup and troubleshooting.

Orbit Store is free software under GPL-3.0-or-later. The application source is built from commit `7169a98901f93a3cd1afe6f40cdb493f9e724f08`; component sources and licences are listed in `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md` and `SOURCES.json`.
