Psx-fpkg - V0.2

PSX-FPKG v0.2 is a specialized tool used by the PlayStation 4 homebrew community to convert original PlayStation 1 (PSX) games into Fake Packages (FPKG). These packages can then be installed and played on jailbroken PS4 consoles using the system's built-in PS1 emulator. Key Features of v0.2

• Creation (--create or -c): Builds an fpkg from a decrypted game dump (folder structure: sce_module/, sce_sys/, eboot.bin, etc.).
• Extraction (--extract or -x): Unpacks an existing fpkg into its raw, unencrypted form for analysis or modification.
• Info (--info or -i): Displays package metadata: title ID, app version, required firmware, package type (base/update/DLC), etc.
• Signing: Re-signs modified packages using a fake (scene-generated) passcode to bypass Sony's official signature check on jailbroken consoles.
