Reason: Needs cleanup |
PKGRipper is a tool that enables you to extract content from your personal backups of PS4 games, specifically from Pkg files. A key feature of PKGRipper is its use of patches. These patches contain files that are not necessary in the Pkg file and can be trimmed to zero bytes without any issues, thereby saving significant HDD space! For instance, F1 2020 can be reduced by more than 20GB.
The program automatically detects the patch file that can be directly applied and provides you with the option to select the patch you wish to apply. It's important to note that a single patch file can contain multiple patches due to the various updates a game may have. For example, a game with a base version of 01.00 and updates 01.01, 01.02 can have four different patches:
- A patch for the pkg 01.00 to remove duplicated content from the version 01.01
- A patch for the pkg 01.00 to remove duplicated content from the version 01.02
- A patch for the update pkg 01.01 to remove duplicated content from the version 01.02
- A patch for the update pkg 01.02 to remove content from the version 01.02
Due to this, the program will always prompt the user to specify which update they have.
How to use
PhR34x0r has shared a great manual to know how to use pkgripper: https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgRipper/raw/master/PKGRipper.Manual.pdf
Requirements
- Windows machine
- .Net Framework
- Fake PKG Tools: can be downloaded from https://github.com/CyB1K/PS4-Fake-PKG-Tools-3.87. Gengp4 and orbis-pub-cmd files must be in the same folder of PkgRipper.
- Your custom patches to apply: if you don't want to do this patches you can download from https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgripper-patches and put them under the patches folder.
Structure
- Output folder: repackaged backups will be stored here
- temp folder: temporal folder to extract and modify pkgs
- patches folder: contains all patches that can be applied
Usage Example
Depending on the size of your files PkgRipper can take a lot of time!!
- If you want to patch a base fpkg file you can follow this video: https://youtu.be/-M4qvpxHKqc
- If you want to patch an update fpkg file you can follow this video: https://youtu.be/boaHX81oSUU
In case you apply a patch to your base pkg you'll need to repackage the update to link with the new base.pkg, this can be done with PkgRipper applying a fake patch (see transformers patch).
Recommendation
- Use only with your own backups, we don't support piracy.
- Use at your own risk, test always the output PKG, we don't asure perfect results
