Here's more details from the README.md: Dumper Testing

Rewriting PS4 application dumper from scratch in C++. This repo will be deleted when a permanent repo is setup. Don't bother cloning unless you're going to be making immediate changes.

No code here is finished or guaranteed to work. Goal is for readability first to allow easier collaboration until everything is working 100%, don't want to optimize it too early:

1. Get it all working. For the first draft we will assume the asset is completely installed and is currently running on the system.
2. Refactor to make more sense.
3. More robust. Find/fix edge cases and have good, descriptive, error messages for issues...

Following his PlayStation 4 Tool Box updates, PS4Debug SpeedFix Tweak used for PS4Cheater and the PS4 DevKit Leak, recently PS4Scene developer @DeathRGH reached out on Twitter for help with the tiling algorithm of the frame buffer on PS4 (SCE_VIDEO_OUT_TILING_MODE_TILE or kTileModeDisplay_2dThin) and shared a few videos demonstrating the order in which pixels are tiled from his YouTube Channel below.

If anyone can lend a hand feel free to reply below, drop by DeathRGH's Hood Discord Channel or reach out to DeathRGH on Twitter... and remember he also has a DeathRGH's Github Repo and a DeathRGH's Ko-fi Page set up for those who can't offer technical help but would love to support his ongoing work in the scene!
