First update for PS4PKG Tool Box, the program developed by the developer Seregonwar designed to simplify file management .pkg
PlayStation 4 console.
The update corrects the process of extraction of the dumps, ensuring that all files are extracted correctly.
Also introduced the reverse dump function, which allows you to apply changes directly to the package .pkg, facilitating the management of changes without the need to separate the files.
Improvements to the injection function are expected, which will allow you to insert DLC directly into files in the future .pkg, further simplifying the additional content management process.
The trophy section has been enhanced with the ability to extract trophies from packages trophy00.trp, although there are currently some decryption issues that will be resolved in future versions.
Another novelty is the ability to create custom trophies, useful in combination with OpenOrbis to create new files .trp. . However, some logical issues are still being resolved and will be addressed in the next version 1.2.0.
Finally, a new File Browser section has been added that allows you to navigate and extract specific files without having to dump the entire package.
Among the tools included are a hexadecimal reader, a text reader and a file extractor. The new Wallpaper section also allows you to view and edit images in the package in a simple and intuitive way, without the need for further instructions.

Changelog
- Correction of the extraction of dumps:
- Now all the files are extracted correctly during the dump process, ensuring smooth operations.
- Adding the reverse dump function:
- This feature allows you to apply changes directly to the .pkg package, simplifying change management.
- Improvements to the injection (planned):
- Concrete ideas for the injection function have not yet been implemented. However, in the next version it will probably be used to insert DLC directly into .pkg files, making it easy to manage it in a single package instead of in separate files.
- Adding the Trophy section:
- You can now extract trophies from the trophy00.trp packages. However, some extracted data may not be readable due to problems with the decryption algorithm, which will be fixed in the next build.
- New section for trophy creation:
- This new feature allows the creation of custom trophies. It is especially useful when combined with OpenOrbis to create new .trp files. Although it is already functional, there are still logical problems that will be solved in version 1.2.0.
- Section of File Browser :
- Added a new browser file that allows you to navigate and extract specific files without having to dump the entire package. Includes:
- hexadecimal reader to display the hexadecimal values of the files.
- Text reader ideal for reading XML files in the package.
