PS4 PKGTools: Homebrew PlayStation 4 .PKG File Tools by MC-17 & Oxwald Fork

Since the release of PS4 Fake PKG Tools 3.87 V5, more PS4 PKG Games, the PS4 AIO Batch File Script for Games & Updates and yesterday's PSXLink App to Obtain PS4 PKG Game Updates & Firmware PUPs developer MC-17 (who previously shared PSPack Flask) updated his Github recently with a set of homebrew PS4 PKGTools to perform various read-only operations on PlayStation 4 .PKG extension package files alongside a PS4 PKG Viewer Fork (MacOS) via Oxwald on Twitter.

Cheers to MSZ_MGS on Twitter for the heads-up of this earlier!

 

[jasonclarke1986]

so this basically just shows file info or extracts the s0 part of the package then?

 

[stinger101mg]

its a work in progress, this dev is attempting to unify ps4 pkg operations into one standalone utility. but yes right now it appears it only extracts some info

 

[jasonclarke1986]

there's already 6 or 7 programs that can do this though, wish someone could manage the retail pkg to fake pkg so we can get updates easier.
