Ps4 has been sitting in a box since the kids were born.
The problem is to know which firmware is required for a specific game or patch. I found orbispatches.com to be useful for single searches, and https://github.com/hippie68/fw useful for scanning collections on HDD.

Spoofing or ignoring (GoldHEN) can get you past the firmware requirement but not past the SDK requirement. The latter requires a backport. "Software" distributors usually don't offer backports. I found this particularly useful: https://github.com/hippie68/fw.

Rebuilt database, lost all my games but recovered system and not external.
Hi, I’ve been trying to use this as suggested by someone to try and recover my games after a database rebuild. After several tries with FTP it simply does not work, as it only shows either python not found or invalid syntax. Tried on Powershell and CMD.

Rebuilding the database causing pkg files to disappear until you run this script. So the fact they are disappearing made me think your ps4 must have tried or successfully rebuilt its database at some point.
- I had to rebuild database and didn't know my apps would go missing. I'm doing the Modded Warfare walk through on getting them back but keep getting this error (ps I'm on 9.00)

Typically that happens when the console rebuilds the database. If you're on 6.72 or earlier, you can use this tool to rebuild the database and restore your fpkgs
