fetch-pkg

Fetches PS5 game update packages

My implementation of a PS5 update patch file fetcher and merger.

This is different from https://github.com/ps5-payload-dev/fetchpkg in that it will keep the completed parts so it doesn't have to re-download them again.

This is also different from https://github.com/Tustin/pkg-merge because it uses the JSON file to create the patch package ensuring the filenames and offsets are placed in the correct location. You do not need to rename the *_sc.pkg file because it's location is already defined in the JSON.

I've used all built-in implmentations so you only need Python on your system.

Usage:

python fetch-pkg.py <url-to-json-file>

Example:

# Download update to Assassin's Creed Mirage (US)
python fetch-pkg.py https://sgst.prod.dl.playstation.net/sgst/prod/00/PPSA07230_00/app/info/48/f_16539a36460b1784b8bc4b6771a9dbc6d68e7f15dfff7c7391f3af44b5024942/UP0001-PPSA07230_00-GAME000000000000.json

Hi,

What is the current recommendation on how to dump PS5 games to USB?

• ItemzFlow
  • File Sampling - on/off?
  • Decryption - on/off? (There is a scary message about the console becoming unstable)
  • Alternative to the built-in decryption? (ps5-self-decryptor, ps5-self-pager, other?)
• ps5-app-dumper

Related, what is the current recommendation to run the PS5 game dumps?

• shadowMount Plus
  • I get the error: Can't start the game or app.
  • Happens with both dumps from Itemzflow and ps5-app-dumper
• dump runner

I have been able to dump my games using both Itemzflow and ps5-app-dumper, but I can't seem to run them and so I'm not sure where the problem is. Are my dumps bad or are the playback tools broken/misconfigured?

I have a fat PS5 with disc on FW10.01, etaHEN-2.5B, kstuff-lite 1.04

Thanks for any help
