1378+ ** Q: What does the ⋯ menu on a game in the Collection do?**
1379+ It works on that game without opening its page. ** Install update** and ** Install missing DLC**
1380+ appear when the connected PS5 has the game but lacks what this computer has. ** Convert…** opens
1381+ the best copy in Convert (a folder before an image, archive or base package). ** Make it
1382+ smaller…** opens a big PS5 folder or plain image in Convert set to a compressed image (.ffpfsc).
1383+ ** Cheats…** opens Cheats with the game selected. ** Backport…** appears when the game is
1384+ installed but asks for newer firmware than the PS5 has. ** Check** reads its copies back.
1385+
1386+ ** Q: What does "Check the copy" check?**
1387+ That the copy is whole and readable before you send it. A PS5 debug package is checked against
1388+ its own digests. A .zip, .7z or .rar has every file unpacked in memory and its checksum checked.
1389+ A game folder or image has every file read back, and must have ` eboot.bin ` and its param file.
1390+ Anything else (a retail or PS4 package, a copy on a server) is read from start to end, which
1391+ finds a copy that is cut short or on a failing drive, but not one whose bytes are wrong. The
1392+ result appears under the copy on the game's page. Checks run one at a time on this computer.
1393+
1394+ ** Q: How do I send several games, or send to more than one PS5?**
1395+ Press ** Select** , pick games, then ** Send to PS5…** and tick the consoles. Each PS5 gets only what
1396+ it lacks: the game's package, or its folder, image or archive, plus newer updates and DLC for the
1397+ games it has. Games it already has, up to date, are left alone. The same bar queues the picked
1398+ games in Convert or checks their copies.
1399+
1400+ ** Q: What are "Needs FW", "Cheats" and "Could be smaller"?**
1401+ "Needs FW 10.00" means the game asks for newer firmware than the connected PS5 has; it may not
1402+ start unless it is backported. "Cheats" means the cheat repositories have cheats for it. "Could
1403+ be smaller" lists PS5 games of 4 GiB or more kept as a folder or uncompressed image; ** Queue them
1404+ in Convert** builds compressed images of them. How much room that saves depends on the game.
1405+ After updating, the firmware needed shows once the next scan has read each item again.
1406+
1407+ ** Q: Can I get a game from my PS5 into the Collection?**
1408+ Yes, when the PS5 has it as a folder or image (a dump). ** Games → Game files → ⋯ → Copy to
1409+ Collection** downloads it into your first Collection folder on this computer and scans. In
1410+ ** Ready to play** , a game that runs from a folder or image has the same item. A game installed
1411+ from a package cannot be copied this way: its installed files are encrypted.
