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! :D

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.

Hi and thank you for the great job updating payload. I had a problem trying to dump Evolve, I load the ps4 dumper 1.4, but when launching the game, nothing happen, keep saying "waiting for the copy..." but nothing start. it happens couples of times. anyone else encounter this kind of pb ?
 
hello
Also I'm trying the last relase v1.5 tells me always waiting for the game even when it is running
game mafia III CUSA03617

with last relase v1.5 the dump of Mafia III did not start because having removed the data of the game you had to run the installation again which is also quite long, as soon as the game arrived in the options the dump on the HD started now also appears the % we try and see if it goes
I will publish confirmation

I had already tried the dump with relase v1.3 and after starting it give me a screen of impossible to play the game with an error code
 
stripnwild I know but first i have a very slow internet connection and it's limited (some downloading the game is like almost buying it) and i just test games by dumping them
thanks for the headup
 
I can't get PKG generator to work with my dump of Far Cry Primal. Keeps giving an error about an invalid PNG file or some crap and then aborts. Any help?

Insert game disc, then you MUST wait till game installs completely (disc stops spinning in the drive), then run payload, game etc...
 
Dumped a couple games with 1.5

Works great and progress percentage was correct when redumping biochock infinite. Finished at 100%, went well past 130% on 1.4
 
You're my hero, your latest dumper is a game changer!
now my dump of mafia 3 works like a charm, even with patch 1.04 integrated.

will the split-command work in this release as well? i don't remember the exact filename i have to create on usb.
was it .fsplit ?

i read about it yesterday and it was quite late so maybe i understood something wrong BUT, i remember, with the split command i can get two directories of a patched game (one folder is maingame v1.0, the other folder is patch content) which i can build as 2 pkgs (game.pkg and patch.pkg) separately.

when i create the "patch" pkg from the dumped patch folder with this method, can i share this "Patch.pkg" with others and they are able to apply it on their "maingame v1.0"-pkg without a disc?

i ask this stupid question because i know there is an update1.1.pkg for Knack CUSA00006 which works on the maingame.pkg without a disc and i'm asking myself how to create this for other games.

Thank you for your work
