PS5 Image Studio v1.0

A desktop workstation for building and compressing PS5 game images
(exFAT and FFPFSC), powered by the LazyMkPFS backend.

Windows — primary, fully supported.
Linux⚠️ experimental / community-tested.


Downloads

Platform File
Windows PS5ImageStudio-Windows.zip
Linux (experimental) PS5ImageStudio-Linux-Experimental.tar.gz

Windows

  1. Download PS5ImageStudio-Windows.zip and extract it.
  2. Run PS5ImageStudio.exe.

Windows will prompt for administrator rights — this is required because
OSFMount mounts the temporary disk image while the exFAT image is built.


Linux — EXPERIMENTAL

Community-tested. Not every feature is available yet (see below). Please report
issues so we can improve Linux support.

Required packages:

sudo apt install python3-tk exfatprogs
#   python3-tk  -> GUI (tkinter)
#   exfatprogs  -> mkfs.exfat
#   losetup/mount come from util-linux (usually preinstalled)

Python 3.10+ required.

Run:

tar -xzf PS5ImageStudio-Linux-Experimental.tar.gz
cd PS5ImageStudio
./PS5ImageStudio

Privilege note: creating the exFAT image uses losetup/mount, which need
root. The app falls back to sudo, so you may be prompted. Configure sudo or
run from a terminal where you can authenticate.

Not available on Linux yet:

  • Edit exFAT Image (read-only mount/browse) — Windows-only (OSFMount). The page
    shows a clear message instead of failing. Building/compressing works normally.
  • Post-queue Sleep/Shutdown — Windows-only for now (no-op on Linux).

Please report (especially Linux)

Open Settings → Copy debug info and paste it into your report, plus:

  • Distro and version
  • Kerneluname -a
  • Python versionpython3 --version
  • glibcldd --version
  • Build loglogs/studio.log (and logs/crash.log if present)

Notes

  • The build pipeline (exFAT creation, FFPFSC compression, verification) is shared
    across platforms; the Linux path uses mkfs.exfat + losetup + mount.
  • This is a first cross-platform release — Windows and Linux users banging on it
    will surface far more than continued solo testing. Thank you for trying it.
