Note: Use '00000000000000000000000000000000' for the PKG Gen password in case others need to ever unpack it, then everyone will know the PKG password.

bro i cant understand

Hi guys,

It's possible to preserve your ssd and save space on your systemdrive by changing temporary directory. Also if you work with simple hdd, you can save time working on different disc (separating read and write) and increasing process priority. To do that, create an empty batch file with the name of the application (ex : "orbis-pub-gen.cmd") in the same directory and put this simple code :

set tmp=f:\temp
set temp=%tmp%
start "" /D "%~dp0" /max /high "%~n0.exe"

Using this cmd, it will launch the namesake app in high priority mode ... changing temp variable in a non persistent way to adjust temp directory, change the value on the first line

I have a fake game pkg that is working without problem. i want to add a language file to game. if i extract the pkg, copy the language file and then repack it to pkg format again, does it works ? if not how can i do it ?

 

[tooretoo42]

@ahmetali123 It depends on your fpkg. You should try and test step by step You could check tree directories, add your files and repack. After that if it not works you can try again by adjusting param.sfo. It may also have hardcoded things in eboot.bin or other xxx.dat files.
Good luck

 

[ahmetali123]

Why should i adjust param.sfo or eboot.bin ? the person who uploaded the pkg to forum did it. im gonna just add a file, nothing more

 

[tooretoo42]

So why do you ask ? Add your file, try and make your own experience ! Don't forget to thank people ... obviously devs who spend many hours to contribute ... but also in a lesser extent those who take few minutes to answer you

 

[ahmetali123]

You are right but i cant test it.I have no tv or monitor for now.Just ps4.

 

[mschumacher69]

How the hell do you use your PS4 without a TV or monitor???

 

[ahmetali123]

Not using

 

[Shurikan117]

How do i create a fake update pkg? Can someone point me to a guide? Or do i need another method for updating my installed pkg's?

Thanks!
