This is a forked PKG Merge update by me (@ColdFire0 aka aldoblack) that merges your downloaded retail PS4 .PKG updates. It was throwing one error 'assumed root PKG file doesn't match PKG magic' so I fixed it and added some other functionalities:
  • Added support for MacOS.
  • No need to be in the same directory with the executable.
  • When clicking on executable file, a pop-up will be shown to select the folder.
  • You can also drag and drop like it used to be.
It's still in beta, so those in the PlayStation 4 Scene feel free to report any issues you may run across. I tested it on Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Watch Dogs: Legion and Doom Eternal and I was able to merge and install the updates.

Download: PKG Merge Update v3.0b (MacOS / Windows) / GIT / pkg_merge-win.zip (2.67 MB - includes pkg_merge.exe, msvcp140d.dll, ucrtbased.dll and vcruntime140d.dll)
  • pkg_merge-macos.zip
  • pkg_merge-win.zip

@ColdFire0 64Bit mate, but i've fixed it right now by manually download all those dlls.. i think that my CCLeaner made some mess in windows dll file register.... well actually FLStudio won't work too, but after "replacing" those file all got set back to normality
 
hi @ColdFire0 i have 64bit Windows 10 so will it work for that it is a big shame that the software does not work straight away like other softwares do.

i really want to merge all my fake pkg dlc files into 1 pkg file instead of having a folder with over 50 pkg fake files like the marvel vs capcom ps4 has over 50 dlc fake pkg files.

to install them on a ps4 is a lot of messing around to do that. but to have one full fake pkg dlc file and install that is better for me i know the file would be bigger but that is better for me.

more people should merge the fake pkg dlc files into 1 pkg file, when ps4 dlc fake pkg files are uploaded most of the time there is a lot of fake pkg dlc files i want to merge into 1 pkg file.

i was not able to download the top link cos the zippyshare link says a error 403 Forbidden so i download the pkg merge win zip with the github link but the file is a lot smaller.

so maybe that is why it is not working for me. could maybe if it is possible to add a new github link with the windows one that was the zippyshare link if you can do that.
 
The zippy link is still working fine here, you may need to use a proxy or VPN to access it as some areas are region-restricted.
