PS4 RiPKiT/Modding Tool By RiPPERD



This is now fully working!
PLEASE SEE POST #2 FOR UPDATED INFO/REQUESTS

Usages of this tool:
The main reason for this tool is to make RipKits (smaller game files with things riped out) this is usually language files, videos etc.
However another use is users that dont know how to modify games, add cheats/mod menus, files etc now can... so with the devs/modders posting their patch files made by this tool you will be able to just click a buttom and enjoy modded games... This could be Loads of ammo... Infinite Health... Debug menus etc via either modded eboot.bin file or modded game files.

PLEASE NOTE: Compressing/Making patch file may take a long time depending on your specs!
The app CANNOT crash so just wait!
Decompressing/Applying patch will be a LOT faster than making the patches!
Again the app CANNOT crash!

What does this tool do?
Its an AIO patcher to release a patch file instead of users downloading whole games again.
Back in the PSP and PS3 days this is how RipKits were made... ive made it slightly different now due to windows 10 and other requirements that only work on older versions.


Basic tutorial

FOR DEVS
(Devs are needed to make the patches)
Download my app
Place the game PKG file into the directory of this app and rename it to original.pkg
make a copy of the game in same folder and rename it to ripped.pkg
open up the modded pkg game file with other ps4 tools
make any changes to the game (remove languages, add cheats etc)
repack the ripped pkg file with your usual tools
now run the tool with both files in same folder
click MAKE PATCH
wait... may take while on larger games


you will now have a "patch.RiPPERD" file and a "ripped.gp4" file
these are the files you share with others
These files are now much smaller than previous versions

FOR END USERS
Download my app and the required "patch.RiPPERD" and "ripped.gp4" file for your game
Place game PKG file, "patch.RiPPERD" and "ripped.gp4" into my app folder
rename game pkg to "original.pkg"
now run the tool with both files in same folder
click APPLY PATCH
wait... may take while on larger games
now you will have a ripped pkg with the original file name pkg
copy to usb/ps4
Enjoy!

NOTES: files must be called the exact as i typed so... original.pkg ripped.pkg and patch.RiPPERD
ALL CASE SENSITIVE!

Hi All! I've been running some codes on PSCHEATER 1.4.5 for God of War. Trying noob here. I get the part where I change quantities of items, but I can only change the quantity of an item once I've aquired it ingame. Like below:   data|336|2FBE960|4 bytes|4294967295|0|Oblivion Stone|10831BE960   This code is for Oblivion stone, even if I change the value, the item does not appear in my game inventory.  Im missing something, hope someone can help   Thanks in advance!      

First i want to state that i have zero problem with people selling hacked consoles on eBay, i think that we should be able to sell modded consoles and chipped consoles on eBay or wherever, what i am against is people selling hacked consoles at an inflated price, just because they have a bunch of pirated games included, this causes harm to the scene as can been seen in the case that Sony recently took against a guy from California     Blackcloak13 who's real name is Eric David Scales has been taken to court by Sony Interactive Entertainment(SIE), for selling a 'Jailbroken' PS4 loaded with 60+ games for $499, an agent of SIE bought the console in April 2018 found that the harddrive was filled with 60+ pirated games, SIE then bought another PS4 from Blackcloak13 in June 2018, this console was on firmware 5.05 and also had a bunch of pirated games, here is a few quotes from the legal document:
 
 
      You can download the PDF and read more at the source: Sony Sues ‘Jailbroken’ PS4 Seller for Copyright Infringement   Thanks Roxanne for the tip, wish you were a member of the forum so i could mention you.  

A recently published or republished patent by Sony  titled "Remastering by emulation" has managed to causes rumours and speculation that the PlayStation 5(PS5) will have Backward Compatibility, here is some information:       I am not sure that this patent has anything to do with Backwards Compatibility in the traditional sense, where you stick a disc on a previous console in the new console and it plays, this seems to me to be something similar to how PS2 games are played on the PS4 at present, the game is packed with higher resolution textures and an emulator.(Check edit)  I would love to see the PS5 able to play games from all the previous PlayStation's, however i do not think Sony would commit itself to such a task, instead they will just keep re-releasing old games with higher textures that can look decent on a 1080p+ TV as well as adding trophies, i really do not think we will ever see any future consoles from Sony having Backward Compatibility.   I have added a poll, participate in it   Here is the patent   Thanks @zecoxao   EDIT I have been corrected by developer @Zer0xFF on the line i have put a strike through above, this is what he said:

(Optional But Recommended) Mira for usermode logs / UART
Step0:If needed for your homebrew, put ALL resources inside /data/ (specify the path in your homebrew as well)
Step1: Create a folder called self inside data folder (You can use ftp or orbisman for this)
Step2: Launch HEN 1.8
Step3: If needed, launch mira aswell(for logging your homebrew/game while it's being tested)
Step4: Install payload_ldr pkg
Step5: Launch payload ldr (the screen should hang at start)
Step6: Send the main eboot (it MUST be a self file)
  sender.py --endpoint 192.168.1.4 eboot.bin Other options are available but for now i'll only use this one
Step7: Your homebrew should now run and (if you have it) logs should be displayed on putty/some other Telnet/Serial logger

Okay, the title might sound like a delayed April's Fool joke, but in reality this is a real and awesome hardware mod created by someone with the nickname Shank. Start to finish the project took him on a year and a half journey.   In addition to the original Nintendo Wii the handheld makes use of two analog sticks ripped from a Nintendo 3DS, a 340x240 LCD screen, a fan and a battery. Don't expect playing sessions of a few hours though, the battery will last about fifteen minutes.

Games are loaded via USB.     SOURCE: BitBuilt.net VIA: ConsoleHax.com

The PlayStation scene has a nice selection of archived firmware sites, yesterday as i was browsing Reddit i found a new site, it has PSP, PS3, PS Vita and PS4 firmware's:       It also has other goodies such as a backup of the now defunct gitorious.ps3dev.net and various homebrews and CFW's.   Archive Website Source
