exFAT2AMPR — convert PS5 game dumps to AMPR LZ4, right on the console

Made by V-10 · LZ4 format: DLPSGAME · AMPR emulator: drakmor/ampr_emu · free software (GPL-3.0)

✅ Tested and working on a PlayStation 5 by the author (firmware 12.xx & 13.xx, kstuff, ShadowMountPlus 1.7).

What it does

• Finds every game and app on the console — internal storage, USB drives, M.2 SSD, homebrew and
  etaHEN/games folders, the drives' top level, and everything ShadowMountPlus manages — and shows where
  each one is kept, with its cover.
• Converts exFAT dumps (folders or images) to AMPR LZ4 packs on the PS5 itself: checks first (free space,
  AMPR compatibility, copies already converted), verifies every block, keeps the originals.
• Runs in the background, slows down while you play, resumes after an interruption.
• Optimize this game: measures how a game reads its files while you play and builds a profile for its
  next conversion (faster loading, fewer stutters).
• Speed test of each storage, the fastest one recommended, slow ones flagged.
• Automatic updates: the app tells you when a new version is out and installs it (the previous package
  is kept as .old).
• Game plugins kept up to date: drakmor's PlayGo stub (pgo_stub) and DLC modules (dlc_emu) are embedded.
  Every conversion gets what the game needs, every game folder is checked at start-up and from the app (the
  game's menu, or Settings › Game plugins for all of them), older releases are replaced (the old copy stays as
  .old), and ShadowMountPlus' emulator folder receives the same files, so the games it mounts follow too.
• Faster conversions, packs as good: a fast LZ4 probe skips the slow pass on incompressible data, a CRC
  four times faster, the verification on several threads; the emulator's memory budget is checked before
  the cache settings are written (a large cache no longer ends up smaller than the standard one on a big
  game).
• Advice on every option: "Recommended" or "Less recommended" next to each setting, with the reason in
  one line; the defaults are the recommended values.
• Nine languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese; the
  web page for a PC or a phone (pairing with a 6-digit code or a QR code) adds Arabic.

Install

Requirements: a jailbroken PS5 with kstuff, an ELF loader on port 9021 (elfldr, etaHEN…), ShadowMountPlus
1.7 or newer.

1. Copy PPSA99272.ffpkg into homebrew/ at the root of an exFAT USB drive, or by FTP into /data/homebrew/.
   Keep a single copy of it.
2. Restart the console, start the jailbreak; ShadowMountPlus adds exFAT2AMPR to the home screen.
3. Open it: the app starts its engine itself. exfat2ampr.elf is only needed to run the engine by hand.

Tested and working on a PlayStation 5 by the author (firmware 12.xx & 13.xx, kstuff, ShadowMountPlus 1.7).
Other firmwares and setups: reports are welcome. New in this version and not yet validated on a console: the
game plugin updates.

exFAT2AMPR convertit les dumps de jeux PS5 au format AMPR LZ4, directement sur la console. Créé par V-10,
format LZ4 : DLPSGAME. ✅ Testé et fonctionnel sur PlayStation 5 par l'auteur (firmware 12.xx & 13.xx,

démarrage, depuis le menu du jeu ou Réglages › Plugins des jeux (nouveau, pas encore validé sur console).
Conversions plus rapides à packs identiques (sonde LZ4 rapide, CRC plus rapide, vérification sur plusieurs
cœurs, budget mémoire de l'émulateur respecté), et chaque option indique « Recommandé » ou « Moins
recommandé » avec la raison. La vidéo de présentation
