PKG Merge PS4 Tool by Tustin, Join PlayStation 4 Package File Parts

Following some recent PS4 Package Research, today PlayStation 4 developer @Tustin made available PKG Merge which as the name implies aims to combine PlayStation 4 PKG file parts joining them into a whole PKG file with a compiled version by @0x199 via Twitter below.

Download: pkg-merge-master.zip / GIT / pkg-merge.rar (Compiled) (659 KB) / pkg-merge.rar (Updated) (659 KB) / PKG Merge (CPP Rewrite) / pkg-merge-x64.exe / pkg-merge-x86.exe / PS4_Merger Fork via thiagowlck / PKG Merge Github Fork via aldoblack

Here are some details on the PS4 Package Merge tool from his recent Tweets via Twitter:

I made a tool that merges PS4 PKG parts into one whole pkg file in golang (@RedEyeX32 wanted this)

prob works for more than 1 part but i didnt test em yet

To quote from Tustin on NGU on the PKG Merge PS4 tool's origin:

"Well, by default when you download packages from Sony, they are already in 4gb parts.

That's why Red wanted the tool made I suppose."

This is a big leap in the scene, it reminds me a lot when the PS3 started in version 3.55 to install only in developer mode .PKG files, then generated the first backup loader called multiman, years later we see the same experience in PS4, do not worry that progressively skip challenges encountered until you reach the most recent versions, I presume are those that are vulnerable, 4.x 4.50 and 4.55

Added a compiled version to the OP shared by 0x199 earlier.

Is ok but I'm waiting PKG backup loader and custom PKGs to install Games without license.....

 

[jd200]

yeh me too but I got a game from psnstuff for ps4 but its in 0-5 pkg files and couldn't get merge to put them back to one pkg

 

[Donely]

Right... it is a beginning

I just tested it now PKG Merge PS4 Tool by Tustin, join PlayStation 4 Package File Parts and all is ok.

This mean you can install any game converted in pkg on 1.76, or only games up to 1.76
