Note

• To enable game partition mounting in the game library, please install the new required Dokan driver (required for pfsfuse).
  • https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/wiki/Installation
• If you remove a game then do not try to re-install it again (same region) or it will have issues creating the partition, intall another game before a re-install.
• Removing a game directly from the XMB will NOT delete the game completely from the HDD, the hidden game partition remains intact.
