- Legal alternatives for playing PS2 games (collections, remasters, backward-compatible consoles, emulation with legally owned game files).

Persistence: Unlike many other placeholders that get overwritten when you install a second game, CUSA-00103 has a unique property. The PS4 OS treats it as a singular application. When you build a Mod PKG for Game A (e.g., Persona 3 FES) using 103, then build Game B (Final Fantasy XII), the console replaces the launcher. But the community developed a tool - PS2-FPKG Tool - that uses 103 as a base container, allowing you to install multiple PS2 games side-by-side by cloning the title ID with different "suffixes" in the PKG metadata.
