Update: @JabuPL also shared via his YouTube Channel a similar PS2 iSO conversion utility following PSX FPKG v0.2 dubbed PS2 FPKG v0.2 with a demonstration video and revisions including PSX-FPKG v0.3 and beyond below:

Download: PSX-FPKG_v02.7z (7.78 MB) / PSX-FPKG_v0.3.7z (29.3 MB) / PS2-FPKG_v0.2.7z (9.32 MB) / PS2-FPKG_v0.3.7z (9.61 MB) / PS2-FPKG v0.6.7z (14.07 MB) / PS2-FPKG_v0.6.zip (74.77 MB - includes emus) via grabman4 / PS2-FPKG_v0.7-Beta.7z (11.75 MB)

From the included PS2-FPKG v0.2 ReadMe.txt file by Jabu:

This app convert PS2 ISO games to fPKG which can be installed directly on PS4.

How to use:

1. Run PS2-FPKG.exe
2. Select the ISO of the PS2 game in "Disc1"
3. Click "Create fPKG" and choose a storage location
4. Install created fPKG on PS4 and play

Optionally you can:

• change the game icon (Icon),
• change background graphic when starting the game (Bg),
• create a multi-disc game (up to 5 iso)
• add your own config txt,
• add your own config lua,
• select the emulator to be used by the game (by default there are 2 known to be most compatible, you can throw more here)

Program automatically adds configs txt (config-emu-ps4.txt), ps3 (gameid_lopnor.cfgbin), lua (gameid_config.lua) if they exist in the application database.
Yes, this application comes with unique ready to go PS2 game configs that will be added automatically!

Known bugs:

• When choosing some iso files, the program may hang temporarily (in very rare cases even for more than 1 minute). It is looking for the game ID, just wait, it will unhang itself (fix is planned for this).
• Few games not follow SYSTEM.CNF standard layout, for this games app will fail to find ID (WRC4, some PS2 Demodiscs, homebrew made isos)
• If program has any problems with creating fPKG, you can try to run it as an administrator, it should help.

How to add more emulators:

Put the folder with emulator files into the "emus" folder, restart ps2-fpkg, new emulators should show up on the list, that's all.

A short demonstration of the program operation can be seen here:

Download: PSX-FPKG_v0.3.7z (29.3 MB)

From the included PSX-FPKG v0.3 ReadMe.txt:

This tool can convert ps1 .bin's into PS4 FPKGs. Now using the new PS-Plus PS1 emulator, which has better game compatibility and more features like save-states and a gameplay rewind feature.

The emulator should work on fw 5.05 and up (I personally tested it on 9.00 only).
Games using libccrypt should work too, if a game uses it a message will be displayed when converting the game.

How to use:

1. Select a ps1 disc image cue sheet(a .cue file)
2. Customize the Title/Icon/Splash/Config/Etc
3. Press "Create fPKG"
4. Install the pkg on your ps4 and play!

Things to Note:

• Press the Options button in-game to display a menu, from there you can use savestates, change the display options or rewind your gameplay
• Games that use multiple .bin files are supported
• Games using CDDA music should work too
• Libcrypt support has been added too, tested on the PAL version of Soul Raver
• "Emulate Analog Stick" will map the dpad to the analog stick for games that support only the Digital Controller, don't check this option if the game supports Dualshock controllers.
• Force 60hz will force game (mainly from the PAL region) to run in 60hz instead of 50hz
• When testing various pkgs of the same game with different txt configs make sure to delete the Application Data from the games Save File, if you dont do this the new config settings won't work because they're stored on first boot in the Application Data. eg. You install a fpkg of EarthWorm Jim 2 without any addional settings enabled, and then install the same game with "Skip Bootlogo" option enabled, the changes won't take effect until you delete the Aplication Data from the Save File, because the old txt config is still in the games save data.

CHANGELOG:

• now using the new psplus ps1 emulator
• everything was rewritten from scratch
• notable new features:
  • added auto game id detection
  • added auto libcrypt detection and support
  • added .toc generation, so games that use cdda have now working music
  • added "Simulate Analog Sticks" checkbox, that adds support for analog stick to older games that dindn't support them
  • added a "Skip Bootlogo" option that skips the Sony/Playstation logos
  • added a "Force 60hz" option
  • the app will now automatically merge game images with multiple bin files
  • other stuff I forgot about

v0.2
