Hacking Any way to extract base game from update merged fpkg?

[mangalodesh]

tried dumping the merged fpkg split option 3 but it just put everything in app folder made patch folder just put nothing inside, thanks. hoping there is a fpkg extractor I can't seem to find.

Yes but you have to seperate the game and update file, and then rebuild the package.

how? I already said that I tried with dumper 1.7 separate option 3 and it didn't separate

Think u can use orbis-pub-chk.exe to extract the package content, which is in image format where you have to figure out what file is the game and what file is update and use orbis-pub-gen.exe to build the package, but it isn't easy. Also to use an update that isnt base off the your base game, you also have to rebuild the package.

Definitely set to split=3?

Did you try the different dumper versions in the different al-azif host packs? I havent looked into it too much but the dumper from 0.4.0 was apparently the best at the time, but his new 0.4.2 pack has re-touched files and possibly payloads to try out. For example his vtx hen is now with spoof 5.51.

Just been doing some testing and the dumper from AlAzif 0.4.2 does not work with webexploit. Neither does the latest on xvortex's github.

But I have managed to put together a working set by using an old kernel.js version. Attached is a working version of 1.7 (not the beta)

Tested it with Moto Racer 4 and I got a dump of both the app and the update.


A big tip for faster dumping times! If you are dumping a disk game make sure to run hen or holy grail first. Do Not just run the dumper on its own from a fresh boot.

I did a speed test with the disk version of No Mans Sky (3.41gb)
Just Dumper = 6 minutes 25 seconds
HEN then Dumper = 1 minute 43 seconds

The same thing happens when using Stooges DB and Saves Backup. 12 seconds Vs 6min 25 seconds.

this is good info about running the hen for faster transfers amazing thank you, I already knew only way to get dumper working messages on the screen is running original exploit then sending the 1.7 dumper payload manually. I have dumped some disc games perfectly fine split. Still my original problem persists can someone get it done successfully on their end before asking me to troubleshoot. this is merged fpkg with update I want to extract base game no update. again I was able to run dumper on this but even though it gave me split folders patch was empty, get it? lol.

@mangalodesh Was the game installed using just 1 pkg file or was it 2 seperate pkg files, the game pkg and the update pkg.?
