PS4 RiPKiT/Modding/Cheat Tool by RiPPERD - UPDATED V1.5

So you were able to transfer mods from PS3 to PS4 for Dead rising? Then with the rip kit would we be able to do the same for majority of the PS4 games as long as there is a PS3 version?
i dont see why not no... there is a game called BULLY it started on ps2... moved to ps3.... then android and now ps4... the files are all EXACTLY the same on all platforms with 1 slight change on ps4 version... its the ps2 version with a ps2 emulator made by sony i assume inside the pkg.

i made a mega mod for this on android and it works on ps4 version too.

in short to your question as long as the file structure is same so modded filename is the same in both platforms it WILL work multi platform

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

New Info Update After V1.5

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 patch.RiPPERD ripped.gp4
ALL CASE SENSITIVE!

UPDATE INFORMATION

V1.5 - MAJOR Update

Code Cleanup
Massive Rework to Patch File Size
Changed GUI - Added Tutorial to About Button
Made it Super n00b Friendly (A Monkey could do it now)

Any issues let me know and ill fix them...​

So i tried this but little success, probably easier to just upload the pre-patched games tbh.

I got a little stuck despite the noob proofing :facepalm:

dl'd both versions, in the dead rising folder i added my pkg and renamed to original.pkg and then it gets to work but randomly ends leaving me with an original folder and a ripped folder and thats about it.

no ripped.pkg, no repackaging of the ripped folder to make it installable on the ps4

unless I'm missing something

hello mate thank you for commenting.

i think this is due to this problem:
You MUST copy the PKG to the folder of my app and NOT the other way round
this is due to the way the app works in that folder... copying the app to the game folder wont work.

if you mean the dead rising game patch i released then this is Dead Rising 2 (normal edition) not an addon or the off the record editions (i have not used those so not sure if same file structure works)

the DR2 Patch i released works on any region of the game though and can be adapted for any platform too as dead rising 2 is the same file structure for all PC, XB360, PS3, PS4 etc

hope this helps if not let me know ill try help some more. Please make sure you are using the NEWEST version

thanks for the reply, managed to find the dead rising 2 game, correct cusa etc, copied it into your folder as is and renamed it to original.pkg, so there is now original.pkg and the original named .pkg

i ran the program as admin and clicked the apply, it then loads forever (crap laptop) creates 2 folders named original and ripped, it might also have had some error log in the ripkit program, will try again tonight and see, i'm following the instructions i'm sure (rename package to original.pkg and then click apply ripkit, I have the correct game and running it in correct folder but it's still likely user error tbh)

hello mate do NOT run as admin just run the app as running CMD as admin will make default folder C:\Windows\System32 this is not the working directory
Admin rights are NOT needed to run this
Please redownload the latest version from first post and try again
im off work tomoz so will be about to help if still issues
 
hello, can not you do a tutorial? So I tried to downsize 3 pkg, but nothing happens ... I have the pkg renamed in original, but the tool runs through so fast and then you have to press the button to quit? It would be really awesome to do that. Thank you very much

Hello there is tutorial on first post, maybe second, in the forum and also in the about in the app...

this will not mod any game at random... this tool can be used by 2 types of users

1. Devs/Modders etc - the dev will rename original pkg to original.pkg
then they will use the usual tools for extracting the pkg (my next version 1.6 will have this option for end users too)
once pkg is extracted they will then make any changes/mods/cheats/rip files out etc
now they will repack the file and call it ripped.pkg
next they run my tool and click MAKE RIPKIT
this will then create 2 files "patch.RiPPERD" & "ripped.gp4"
these files are then shared with end users.

2. End Users - they will use the files shared by others "patch.RiPPERD" & "ripped.gp4"
they copy the game to the folder (MUST BE DONE THIS WAY ONLY) do not copy my app to another folder or it WONT work
rename game to original.pkg
copy the patch files to the same directory
open my tool and click APPLY RIPKIT
wait some time and then you will have the ripped file with the original filename for the game XXX-CUSAXXX-V1.00 etc
copy to ps4 and ejoy the modded/ripped version

if you require to make modded pkg then you will have to follow guide for devs... any issues let me know
 
I did everything as described, but there is no file out that is smaller than the original, the tool runs zimlich quickly through and I still have the same file in the oedner, and yes I have 2 jailbreak ps4, but first you have to they are ripping right? It would be really cool if you or someone else makes a YT video where you can see what you should do (that's just the best TUT) so far, Ih had no problems with titorials, but nothing happens here with the tool
Kind regards

i will make a video at some point
im not sure what you are trying to do?

you will only end up with a smaller file if you actually rip files out of the game... if all you do it change 1 file then it will be the same size as nothing has changed...

please explain what you are trying to do and i will help you better
 
i've seen OrbisAFR posted on here, could that possibly be an easier way to load the mods if it allows you to modify the eboot on the fly without having to repackage the files?

Hello, these tools both work very differently

OrbisAFR is like a redirect tool so instead of it loading the file from the game folder it loads it from another directory... this would work if people posted their modded files and the end users knew where to put these files... not very end user friendly basically as not all users know how to do this.

My Tool is made so anyone can use it.... im trying to make it differently so instead of it patching a game (for cheats/mods only) and then making a FULL MODDED GAME PKG (like it does now)
what i want to do is make a PATCH PKG

so for example we download a game
we then download a mod pkg (much smaller as only contains modded files)
install the modded pkg over the game

i did this with dead rising 2 i made a mega mod for this and i tried making a pkg file that i removed all the other files except the modded one and it didnt work the game would not start after the patch was applied....

if anyone knows how i can make a patch pkg then i will be able to make and release a LOT of mods/cheats for lots of games

i'm not very clued up on the scene unfortunately and wouldn't have a clue where to start to help

i read that people over at nexusmods have made installable packages for Fallout4/Skyrim that add menus etc, the pkg apparantly changes the update version of the patched games, for ex 1.00>1.01 once the pkg is installed, i'm presuming thats what you mean, that you install a patch/mod over the top of the game with it adding or replacing the files you need, i'll see if I can find a link for those mods

oooooo that makes sense! yes mate!
i read something about that too forgot to do that at the time though.... you got a link to one of these pkg files for me? (fallout or skyrim)
if i have one of these pkg files and the passkey is default then i will be able to see what files are needed for those mods and make my own version!

haha you may not know much but you may have solved my issue in 1 comment lol well done!!

PERFECT!

this is exactly what i needed i knew id seen it somewhere just thought it was called something else... prob why i never found it again lol.
so i made a dead rising 2 mod pkg before but it crashed game on boot now i know why... missing files, wrong game data GD/GP, and didnt mod the sfo file... ill make it again and test it out

cheers for your help
 
glad you're making headway, shouldn't be too difficult to add to your script to backup the param.sfo before the editing then restore it before patching/packaging the file.

out of curiousity where would you begin learning about this stuff?
