Prosperous User Guide

Cross-cutting reference for how Prosperous behaves under the hood — where files live, portable mode, how target communication is routed, zero-telemetry privacy, and daemon ports. Per-feature pages live alongside; this page addresses system-wide behavior.

Paths and Portable Mode

Prosperous persists target registrations and session state to a root directory resolved at startup. There are two operational modes.

Default Mode: `%APPDATA%\OOPS\` (Windows) or `~/.local/share/OOPS/` (Linux)

Shared across all OOPS projects, so registering a console in Prosperous makes it immediately available to Orbistoun and obSCEne without duplicate configuration.

%APPDATA%\OOPS\ (Windows) or ~/.local/share/OOPS/ (Linux)
    targets.txt         <- Registered consoles and port overrides (shared)
    prosperous/
        history.log     <- Command execution history
        downloads/      <- Retrieved logs, dumps, and saved data

Portable Mode

Drop a .portable directory (or sentinel file) next to the Prosperous executable, or set PROS_PORTABLE=1 / OOPS_PORTABLE=1:

<wherever you put it>/
    pros.exe            (or pros-gui.exe)
    .portable           (sentinel directory or file)
    targets.txt         (stored right beside the binary)

In portable mode, zero data is written to the host user profile. Everything stays self-contained on a USB stick or portable directory. Portable mode is also automatically activated if the executable name contains portable (e.g. pros-portable.exe).

Network Architecture & Target Daemons

Prosperous communicates directly with standard homebrew services running on jailbroken hardware:

Daemon	Port	Role in Prosperous
`elfldr`	`9021`	Injects bare ELF memory payloads directly into target RAM.
`ftpsrv`	`2121`	Remote filesystem access for staging titles, packages, and saves.
`klogsrv`	`3232`	Raw broadcast socket streaming unbuffered kernel and user `klog`.
`shsrv`	`2323`	Remote root command shell.
`pldmgr`	`8084`	Manages resident daemon chains and payload reloads.

Data & Privacy

Prosperous is strictly local-first:

Zero Telemetry: Prosperous never phones home. No crash reporting, analytics, or tracking pings.
No Cloud Accounts: All target credentials and addresses remain strictly on your local machine.
Direct LAN Communication: All traffic flows directly between your PC and the target console on your local network.
