{{#seo: |title= (PC Utilities) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=pkgripperps4.png |image_alt=PKGRipper }} PKGRipper is a tool that helps shrink your PS4 game backups by removing unnecessary files. It applies special patches to trim content without affecting gameplay, some games like F1 2020 can be reduced by over 20GB.<ref>Enrique Somolinos. [https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgRipper/blob/master/README.md#current-patches pkgRipper/README.md at master · enriquesomolinos/pkgRipper]. GitHub. 2022-02-11</ref> The program automatically detects which files can be removed when: * You have multiple game updates installed. * Later updates include files that replace older versions. * There's leftover data no longer needed for gameplay. For example, a game with a base version of 01.00 and updates 01.01, 01.02 can have four different patches: * A patch for the pkg 01.00 to remove duplicated content from version 01.01. * A patch for the pkg 01.00 to remove duplicated content from version 01.02. * A patch for the update pkg 01.01 to remove duplicated content from version 01.02. * A patch for the update pkg 01.02 to remove content from version 01.02. Due to this, the program will always prompt the user to specify which update they have. == User guide == [https://github.com/PhR34x0r PhR34x0r] has shared a great [https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgRipper/raw/master/PKGRipper.Manual.pdf manual] (PDF). ==== Requirements ==== * Windows machine * .Net Framework * [https://github.com/CyB1K/PS4-Fake-PKG-Tools-3.87 Fake PKG Tools]. Gengp4 and orbis-pub-cmd files must be in the same folder of PkgRipper. * Your [https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgripper-patches custom patches] to apply. They should be placed under the patches folder. ==== Structure ==== * Output folder - Repackaged backups will be stored here. * temp folder - Temporal folder to extract and modify pkgs. * patches folder - Contains all patches that can be applied. ==== Usage example ==== Depending on the size of your files PkgRipper can take a lot of time. * If you want to patch a base fpkg file you can follow this video: https://youtu.be/-M4qvpxHKqc * If you want to patch an update fpkg file you can follow this video: https://youtu.be/boaHX81oSUU In case you apply a patch to your base pkg you'll need to repackage the update to link with the new base.pkg, this can be done with PkgRipper applying a fake patch (see transformers patch). Author's notes: * Use only with your own backups, we don't support piracy. * Use at your own risk, test always the output PKG, we don't assure perfect results. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/ps4homebrews/images/pkgripperps43.png ==Media== '''PkgRipper 1.00: base pkg sample''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boaHX81oSUU Enrique Somolinos]) <br> <youtube width="600">boaHX81oSUU </youtube> '''PkgRipper 1.00: Update fpkg sample''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M4qvpxHKqc Enrique Somolinos]) <br> <youtube width="600">-M4qvpxHKqc</youtube> ==Changelog== '''v2.5.0''' *New **[https://github.com/enriquesomolinos/pkgRipper/issues/10 #10]: now we can see the current uncompressed size of files when we are creating a patch.
