PlayStation 4 developer @DimosGsxR let us know he'd like to share his UnFSelf Windows application to convert PS4 FSELF files back to ELF files by simply dragging and dropping the FSELF file on UnfSelf.exe to get the resulting ELF file with "-decrypted" added to the filename. :cool:

Download: unfself.zip (21.7 KB) / unfself.zip (Mirror) / UnfSelf.exe (51.0 KB) / selfutil.zip (1.59 MB - includes selfutil.exe) by @zezu420 (aka Znullptr on Twitter or dmiller423 on Github) / SelfUtil.exe (Compiled by RetroGamer_74) / Selfutil_PS5.exe

For those curious the Greek sentence in the prompt roughly translated states "Please enter the location of the file:" which isn't necessary if you drag and drop it, however, like me you may need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC to run it. (y)

Here's more details from his email earlier today, to quote: Guys I have made a tool to convert FSELF back to ELF. That will be useful for PS4 <5.05 to unself FSELF and lower firmware on games.

I tested and confirmed the ELF file from my program is same with dumped ELF from PS4 dumped payload.

The program is simple, no UI just drag n drop FSELF file on program and you get same name file with "-decrypted" ELF file.

You can drag multiple files at same time but need all files to be FSELF else the program is close. Just try yourself to be sure. I am not a pro development just learning C++.

I made that because I didn't want to upgrade 4.55-> 5.05, but because no one shared the ELF file from games to patch it lowering FW. Nevermind now I am on 5.05 but that will be useful for those guys who haven't upgrade.

Try it and check if decrypted FSELF files from that program is equal with PS4dump payload ELF files (all test I have done it's equal).

The process is:

Step 1) extract fake PKG
Step 2) get the FSELF files from extracted PKG
Step 3) drag and drop to program
Step 4) do mods on ELF file (ex. lowering FW)
Step 5) rebuild PKG

I hope that will be useful for someone. As I say before I just beginner C++ programmer.

orbis-ld --fself-flags= >>> Set the fself flags specified.
Possible values are "videoservice" and "nongame"
Code:
orbis-bin.exe --dump-fself-info file.elf Flag Value Non-game 0 Video service 0

@DimosGsxR doesnt lowering FW requirements only count for half the process? Don’t you also need *** modules from 4.55 to overwrite the relevant equivalent 5.05 ones?

In GOWs example I know Joonie instructed me that’s what was necessary, and we got it working very much playable on 4.55.
 
does this mean that you can extract a ps4 pkg game back to a dumped folder with the files in it or not

also is it possible like if you have a a newer ps4 game like hitman definitive edition that says that you need 5.50 firmware I am on 5.05 firmware so is it possible to maybe get the pkg off the blu ray disc through the pc so would it be possible to maybe lower the firmware of that game or would it be possible to extract the pkg game to a dumped folder with all the files in it through the pc or any other way to do this is that possible or not
 
now would be great if we can download games directly from psn link and convert it to fpkg to work with exploit or just make exploits work with retail pkg maybe with 6.00 FW
