GenGP4 (Replaces PKG Kitchen) by XVortex, PS4 FTP via Webpage

Today PlayStation 4 developer @XVortex kicked us out of the kitchen by announcing that his PKG Kitchen is no longer needed, and introduced his latest GP4 Generator all-in-one utility called GenGP4 which combined with the FTP server is everything you need to dump PlayStation 4 games including a more reliable tree-decrypting method alongside shorter instructions below!

Download: gengp4.exe / gengp4.zip (641 KB) / ps4-dumper.bin / GIT

To quote: "No more .pkg extraction, .pfs extraction, file merging etc. FTP server dumps the game to HDD folder, then gp4gen sanitizes this folder and generates the .gp4."

To quote from @XVortex's condensed guide on using GenGP4:

1) Turn on the console, insert disc (or run psn title), install all game patches;
2) Plug-in the USB stick, run the ps4-dumper payload (.bin or standalone);
3) Run your game, make sure to get main menu, minimize game (PS Button);
4) Wait till completion. When the process is finished the lights stop blinking
and console will shutdown automatically (it is normal, not a panic shutdown);
5) Turn on your console, remove disc, uninstall the game (for further testing);
6) On PC: Plug-in the USB Stick, then open gengp4.exe, point into CUSAxxxxx dir
and press Generate .GP4, You should get the 'Done.', then press Save .GP4;
7) Open .gp4 in the orbis-pub-gen and build .pkg file
(You can get the orbis-pub-gen tool via PKG_Fake_Generator);
8) Run PS4HEN payload, install and test your .pkg;
9) Enjoy.

Looks like you don't have enough free space on that drive...

Hello @VorteX
I wanted to ask you if you could routinely make a spoof payload from 4.05 to 5.00, I have a backup copy of an activated 5.00 console and I wanted to see if I could make the 4.05 console active, it would be interesting to test my theory
thank you so much for the time you spend on these things
you are the best

May be is a good solution for connect ps4 to psvita, or ps4 want stay on psn for connect to psvita? do you think about??

bad that I think I think that making an active console is better than keeping it inactive, at least you would have to open all the features even if you can never go online at least it's something

I dumped 2 Games and it works Perfectly

Until Dawn it took me about 4 Hours
GTA V Took me about 30mints
XVortex REALLY REALLY YOU ARE AWESOME

and YES both games installed and worked JUST fine

hausofpain For Maffia 3 and Watch Dogs 2 I will try to Dump them next week and tell you the outcome

I have the same error with call of duty BO III and Advanced Warfare.

@VorteX For BO III i have to manually edit gp4 file because gengp4 generate 2 userdefined scenario but with no info. (Userdefined scenario have another tag for custom definition.)

I replaced them with sp and mp and i was able to run pkg creation but with error (Could not create compressed file). Maybe this errors means a file is corrupted??? I have 500gb free on my C drive.

 

[abumaya]

it is solved, i entered *run/ %temp% then i cleaned the file then it worked

@sabasoor Mafia III, i tried I did not work. I let the game install on ps4 hdd and it still did not work. It's frozen on the logo.

 

[Leslie84]

Hi donely , no chance for mafia 3 or ?
every trying methods fail ?

on me is its freezing on intro logo and its not going starting

Watch Dogs 2 is the same 1:1 by me stuck on Intro. I think there is a Protection on eboot or prx files , isnt it ?

Must i give off on watch dogs 2


greets

I think the problem we have with mafia 3 and watch dogs 2 has something to do with playgo.

I read in flat_z fself write up that playgo games with lots of chunks and special initial chunks are quite problematic. He states that we could get the right offsets of the chunks while dumping with a special Kernel mod and a payload that logs the chunks while extracting from pfs_image.

I know that ps4dumper and gengp4 aim in that direction but i think a lot of work has still to be done with playgo and chunks.

I would love to read a statement about that from xvortex.

I have check the eboot.bin the decrypted watch dogs 2 file have tooo much zeros by me i think that must the error , because orher games which i have decrypted havent sooooo many 00000000 in the hex editor , check it out
