ArtSwap v1.4.0 by griches

Lists every title on the console that has home screen art: PS5 and PS4 games, and homebrew in /data/homebrew or the homebrew folders on USB and extended storage. Each one is looked up on SteamGridDB. Take an icon from the square grids or a background from the heroes, choose which part of the picture to keep, and the preview shows exactly what will be written. Apply changes (R2) restarts the home screen so the new art shows straight away.

You'll need etaHEN or kstuff, ShadowMountPlus and an ELF loader running. The developer lists firmware 13.60.

Every file keeps the format and size the console expects. The first time a file changes, the original is copied beside it as a .old file, and Restore puts them all back.

It can also put a SteamGridDB logo on a game's page, give a tile music from songs sent from your phone, rename homebrew, and move tiles between the Games and Media homes or hide them. Your own pictures can be sent from a phone through a QR code or copied to /data/artswap/pictures, and those don't need a SteamGridDB key.

New in 1.4.0

Your own pictures

• Use your own icons, backgrounds and logos. The first cell in the picker shows a QR code: scan it with a phone (or open the address on a computer on the same network) and choose pictures. They arrive on the console in seconds.
• PNG and JPEG go across as they are; anything else the browser can show (WebP, HEIC on an iPhone) is turned into a PNG on the phone first. Copying files to /data/artswap/pictures over FTP works too.
• They come first in the Icons, Backgrounds and Logos tabs, tagged YOURS, for every game, and use the same frame page and preview as SteamGridDB's art. A logo wants a PNG with a see-through background: Art Swap says when a picture has none.
• OPTIONS on one of your pictures deletes it. Games already using it keep it.
• No SteamGridDB key is needed for your own pictures: the picker opens with them, and □ adds a key.

The home screen's layout

OPTIONS, then Home screen:

• Move any tile between the Games and Media rows, the system's own too (PlayStation Store, Game Library, Art Swap itself).
• Hide tiles you never use, such as PlayStation Plus or the Store.
• Carry a game along the Games row with □ to put it where you want, then lock the order, or sort it A to Z.
• Apply changes (R2) restarts the home screen with the new layout. No reboot is needed.
• The layout is written again at every Apply changes, so if an install or a firmware update puts tiles back, the next Apply changes puts them right.

Thanks to elripalda's psgfx, which first found where the home screen keeps its layout.

Also

• Art Swap has its own logo on its home-screen page.
• Games installed by Playden (and other installers whose game folders only their own user may write) can have their art changed. Before, the console refused the write.
• Settings, About shows the right version.

Known issue

• With OnionHEN loaded, Apply changes can bring up "System Software Error" (CE-108262-9): OnionHEN loads its toolbox into the home screen again when it restarts. OK dismisses it.

You need

• etaHEN (or kstuff) and ShadowMountPlus (1.7 or later, for renames, added backgrounds and added music). Art Swap starts its own helper through the console's ELF loader on port 9021, which etaHEN and kstuff setups already have.
• For SteamGridDB's art, your own SteamGridDB API key (free: steamgriddb.com, Preferences, API). Your own pictures need none.

Installing

Copy the PPSA99318 folder from PS5_ArtSwap-v1.4.0.zip to /data/homebrew/ (over an earlier version is fine), or update from ProsperoStore.

Files

• PS5_ArtSwap-v1.4.0.zip: the title.
• SHA256SUMS: digests of the zip and the source archives.
• *.tar.gz and SOURCES.txt: the source of every part of the built title, at the revision it was built from (GPL-3.0-or-later).
