I built a PS5 tool that converts compressed archives directly to FF-PFSC without extracting them first.
I made a homebrew tool called Unzipped. You can transfer a compressed 7z, ZIP or RAR to your PS5 without extracting it on your PC first, saving PC SSD space.
Unzipped reads the archive in chunks and creates an FF-PFSC directly on the PS5. It never creates a separate extracted game folder. In my first 7z test, it processed 12.55 GiB of game data into a 6.06 GB FF-PFSC, which ShadowMount detected and installed automatically.
Once you’ve confirmed the game launches, you can delete the original archive and keep only the FF-PFSC. The tool is still experimental: I haven’t confirmed gameplay yet, and ZIP/RAR need more testing.
I will update it to be able to Build Fake Packages also not only FFPFSC.
