PS5 Image Converter v1.0.0

This version is broken. Users should download the latest version which is fully tested and fully functional.

This is the initial official release of PS5 Image Converter, a graphical user interface (GUI) designed for the PlayStation 5 homebrew community to simplify file compression/decompression operations. This utility completely automates image handling for pipelines like ShadowMountPlus by acting as a front-end wrapper for the mkpfs engine.

  • GUI Frontend Wrapper Created by: chuey_316
  • Original Core CLI Engine Created by: Renan Barreto

🌟 Key Features

  • Visual Mode Selection: Dynamically switch between packing files, packing folders (compressed/uncompressed), inspecting metadata, and unpacking image formats.
  • Automatic Multi-Step Packing: Automates the exact 2-step pipeline (pack folder -> pack file) required to make compressed .ffpfsc images fully playable on the console without extra steps.
  • Linux Dark Mode Stability: Pre-configured system layout color mappings that prevent text visibility bugs on dark themes (like Linux Mint).
  • Space Safety Safeguard: Automatically handles folder and file paths containing spaces perfectly without path truncation or execution errors.
  • Real-time Console Tracking: An integrated live terminal log that tracks compression benchmarks smoothly in real time.

🚀 How to Install & Run

For Linux Users:

  1. Download and extract the PS5_Image_Converter.zip package.
  2. Ensure you have the required system dependencies installed (see Requirements below).
  3. Open the extracted folder, right-click an empty space, and select "Open in Terminal".
  4. Grant execution permissions to the launcher script by running this exact command:

chmod +x "PS5 Image Converter"

  1. Close the terminal. You can now launch the application anytime by double-clicking the PS5 Image Converter.sh file.

For Windows Users: (COMING SOON)

  1. Download and extract the PS5_Image_Converter.zip package.
  2. Double-click the mkpfs_launcher executable inside the folder to run the program natively. (Fully portable, no command line required).

📋 Requirements

  • Windows Support: Natively compatible with Windows 7 64-bit and all newer versions (Windows 10/11) with zero extra setup.

  • Linux Support: Requires Python 3.8+ with python3-tk extensions installed.

  • Linux Dialog Dependency: Your Linux distribution must have zenity installed for the file browser popups to function. On Ubuntu/Debian/Mint, install it via terminal using:

    sudo apt install zenity python3-tk
