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.

I'm still trying to dump LBP3. No matter which method described above I choose, the drive keeps flashing. When I try to stop the process my console crashes.

When I look at the contents of the HDD the game folder is several times bigger than it should be. The issue I believe is that LBP3 doesn't have a menu. It loads into the game right away. I'm guessing I'm starting the dump at the wrong time.

Looks like @cfwprophet find a way to change the firmware check on param.sfo or somewhere...

​

Thats looks like a original pkg here and posted a modified pkg with required system software version 4.0 ... for instance... its trying to play games with newer versions on 4.05

Will see

@XVortex Almost done with this latest batch. Fell asleep with the wife for a while since it was our day off, but the spreadsheet is almost done. Just have to dump a few smaller games, test them, and done.

BTW, do you have to use IDC? My PS4 keeps cutting off for every three games I do it seems

[gammerfordement]

is it necessary to apply make_fself.py to eboot.bin file and to the prx?

 

[Kboss1000]

Does anyone else have a problem with orbis-pub-gen.exe shutting down without completing the pkg. When i run it, it shuts down at around 5% to 15%. I have looked all over and cant find a solution. Thanks in advance
