Guidelines for reporting an issue

  • BEFORE reporting an issue be sure to upload the app logs via pressing triangle in the itemzflow settings menu and type your issue in the text box (PS4) or grab the logs from the console (PS5)
  • Make sure you try to troubleshoot before creating an issue to ensure accuracy of the info you provide about the issue
  • DO NOT create an issue if your game gets stuck dumping or is slow at dumping as both of those issues are on the users side
  • Be descriptive to ensure all the relavent info is given
  • ANY issue that does not provide a response within 2 days (48 hours) after a maintainer responds will be auto closed for inactivtiy to avoid "ghost" issues
  • if you are crashing downloading covers make sure you have internet and its not being blocked by a DNS
  • Lastly, it may take a few days to a few weeks for a maintainer to respond to an issue, responding is not what we usually do first given a few exceptions, just because we have not responded yet does not mean we are not working on the issue

Itemzflow Log

  • If the app crashes or mentions "a FATAL Signal" send this log to us via the discord below or via GH Issues /user/app/ITEM00001/logs/itemzflow_app.log

Daemon

The itemz daemon is installed when you open the app for the first time at /system/vsh/app/ITEM00002 it gets updated ONLY by Itemzflow

The daemon folder is ONLY for internal use by the Itemzflow devs it is hash checked by the loader to ensure the daemon is always up to date with the PKG

Dumper details

  • Dumper log is at /user/app/ITEM00001/logs/if_dumper.log
  • Dumper WILL ONLY dump to the first USB it finds (most likely USB0)
  • Dumper will try to use the same Language as Itemzflow
  • If the dumper gets stuck on a file make SURE both discs and ALL Languages are installed if available BEFORE Dumping
  • If your dump has failed then provide us the log /user/app/ITEM00001/logs/if_dumper.log in our discord below

Languages

  • The Itemzflow's Langs. repo is HERE
  • The Itemzflow uses the PS4's System software Lang setting
