Fake PKG Generator for PS4 to Generate Fake Packages for Homebrew

Hot on the heels of yesterday's PS4 Fake 4.05 updates, today PlayStation 4 developer @cfwprophet shared on Twitter a Fake PKG Generator for PS4 with documentation to generate fake packages which will support homebrew once the ShellCore patches (for fake PKG support) are implemented.

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

From Pastebin come some Orbis-pub-prx.dll patches included in Fake PKG Generator:

Thx for the great work, is there a way to change the system requirement of 4.55 to 4.0 in any fake PKG ? when open the param.sfo, can see the requirement but seems no where to modify

Hi. I get this error when when I open the gp4 file with fake pkg generator. (Format of the project file is not valid. (element <scenarios_info> is missing) I noticed Malik Faizan has the same error back on page 2. Please help. Thanks

@Donely @Malatya

Could you check your fake pkg tools version ?
Some of your recent dumps require 4.50 fw
It seems there's something wrong dumping in 4.55 or perhaps i may be mistaken

I thought that orbis-pub-gen.exe always forced fw requirement in order to work in 4.05 and therefore in 4.55. If i use the version included in Fake_PKG_Tools_v1.3.rar, fw requirement is always forced to 2.70 and sk version to 2.508 (even if fw req is 4.05 and sk version is 3.508 in param.sfo).

I checked other fpkgs and there are few with 4.50 requirements but there are a big disparity in fw requirement and compiled versions.

In my opinion, fw requirement should automatically be lowered to sk version and sk version should remain untouch

 

[arnold101]

i can fake sign a game update pkg? and how?

 

[thefather]

When I try to build package it says path does not exist. I'm sure it doesn't exist but it is supposed to create it. IDK! Any ideas?

 

[DarkWeilder]

It fails to pick on one for the componet files when creating an image so I get an error has anyone got the same problem?

 

[malammore]

i have various gp4 to transform to pkg, but this program uses c:\user\temp folder as temorary for creating pkg, and i have c: unit on my hard disk pretty full and can't move any files... someone could have suggestions on how to run it ? thank you
