Game Compressor 1.0.0
Game Compressor 1.0.0 is the APR Emu compatibility release.
Compared against v0.9.9.
Key Changes
- Built APR Emu indexing directly into Game Compressor. Before compressing a
title that uses APR Emu, the app performs the samebuild_ampr_index.pywork
on the PS5 and includes the generatedampr_emu.indexin the compressed
output. - Added a secondary
Build AMPR Indexaction for folder titles. This lets users
build or refresh the index without starting a compression job. - Rebuilds APR indexes cleanly. Existing
ampr_emu.indexfiles are replaced for
APR titles during pre-compress indexing so stale indexes are not carried into
read-only compressed images. - Shows
APR indexedonly on the selected game screen and operation history,
based on the app's latest recorded state for that exact folder, not on a
sidebar scan or a loose file-existence check. - Cleans common macOS metadata from game folders before compression, including
.DS_Store, AppleDouble._*files,.Spotlight-V100, and__MACOSX. - Improves same-device compression stability by keeping default compression
worker counts conservative instead of overloading PS5 storage and UI
responsiveness. - Marks the Fast compression profile as experimental in the UI and warns that it
may cause bugs in some games. - Improves delete/cleanup behavior by removing validation sidecars such as
.vhashwhen compressed outputs are deleted or cleaned up after failure. - Updates the terminate flow. The terminate button removes the Game Compressor
home tile, stops the payload, and replaces the whole UI with a final
terminated screen telling the user to exit the window and enjoy playing.
Compatibility Notes
- APR handling is done by Game Compressor on the PS5. Users do not need to run
the manualbuild_ampr_index.pyscript before compressing APR Emu titles. - APR index generation only runs when APR Emu markers are present or when the
user explicitly runsBuild AMPR Indexon a folder. - No rebuilt ShadowMountPlus or kstuff binary is required.
