PS5 UltraPack 2.4.0

PS5 UltraPack runs on Linux now. This release comes for macOS, Windows and Linux, and every one of these builds goes through the full test run before it gets here.

Linux

There is a native Linux x64 version now. Unpack the archive anywhere and start ./PS5 UltraPack. If you want the app in your app menu, run ./install.sh once. Files you remove go to the desktop's Trash, notifications show up like any other app's, and the file dialogs are your desktop's own.

On Linux the app can also use RAM for its temp files (Settings › Drives & space). If a job's work files fit into the amount you set, it builds in memory instead of on a drive. That is faster and spares your SSD.

The Linux port is the work of @trongio, who sent both as pull requests (#9, #10). Thank you!

Tested builds for every system

GitHub builds all three versions now. Each build runs every test I have, then every function of the finished app, and starts it once. Only a build that passes everything ends up on the release page.

Fixed

• The app could freeze in rare cases while a job ran. That came from cleaning up interface objects at the wrong moment, and the cleanup now waits for the right one.
• A backport no longer stops at an encrypted about module in sce_sys. The app leaves it as it is and tells you in the log (#9).
