EA Patch for PS4 Backups. AutoBackPort by RetroGamer_74

PS4 Hack - Do not use small size backport fix for updates. Why?

AutoBackPort 1.00

AutoBackPort 1.05 NP-32046-5 Built-in error fixer

what about to create only a backport patch. I mean, no base game, and no update. Just backport patch, the good way to keep 6.72 backups pure for the future.

 

[RetroGamer74]

Remember adding PKG Game and adding and Update, don't do a mix of both things.
So Install your dumped game into the PS4.
Create a fix for the base game.
Install the fix for the base game into the PS4.

Again in AutoBackPort, add the PKG Game, and add the Update PKG.
Create a fixed update. In this case is the 1.03 update backported and fixed.
Install the fixed update.

That's the right path.

This has to be done in this way because the Base Game could have files not modified by the update that, anyway, needs to be fixed.

So by the way, this is not a mixed result. It is just a fix for Base Game, and if you add the update, a fixed for the update.

Does it not create the pkg files?

 

[Baku86]

@RetroGamer74 if we have game and update 1.03 do we need create fix for game and for update (2 fixes as result) or just one fix for the update (which is mix of ported base game and update files)?

And install:
1. Main game
2. Update
3. Fix based on update and main game

Correct?

It works 100%. Several proven positions launched at 5.07 work smoothly. The time to create the package itself takes a while, but it's worth the wait.

@RetroGamer74 - I noticed there is a problem (and you wrote about it) with relocating the working pkg in separate folders and in the main folder. I have a small suggestion - in a future release, are you assuming the option of folders in the bundle of programs (e.g. input, work, exit) with default paths in the application? I know it's cosmetic, but maybe it will make life easier for some users.

Thanks for your work and brilliant program! BiG BEER!

@trutadolago = yes - with full working pkg "patch" to 5.05/5.07 release firmware.

 

[RetroGamer74]

1. Install main game.
2. AutoBackPort. Create fix for the game and Install it.
3. AutoBackPort. Create fixed update using the Dumped PKG Game and Dumped Update.
4. Install the new fixed update package created by AutoBackPort.

I guess the problem here is most of you are thinking that using the Dumped Game PKG with the Dumped Update PKG means a Resultant PKG with both of them. And that's not real. FakePkg Tools requires the Dumped Game Base as reference when you want to create the modifications for the Update Package.

So each step.

First step just fill the Game Base Location and get a fix for the game.
Second step fill Game Base and Update to build the full Update with the fixed files.
Then you install this update created by AutoBackPort. Not the dumped update, and then the fix for the update.

@logibeareu If you use my latest release, it should warn you when you select wrong paths. Anyway I'm currently focused in functionality. As soon everything is working well, we improve the look & feel, settings, and user friendly.

 

[Baku86]

Wait I don't understand. I have to dump game again from my PS4 after instaling it? Or by dumped you mean downloaded/dumped pkg (like duplex scene release) and i always use those for install and making backported fixes?

PS. I don't install dumped update at all - just fixed update, right?

[blazingBBQ]

does running the program require python and other specific programs in win10?

 

[logibeareu]

@RetroGamer74 - yeah I know it warning

I made the three folders I wrote about (I am a mess - prevention ). In RC 0.3 there were messages about "lost sfo file" - since he works with files in this hierarchy, no error message appears, and files that previously generated this error are processed (successfully). So I don't really know where the cause of success or failure lies.
