PS5 Dump Forge v0.2.0

Runs on everything (including your PS5) and converts everything: game folders to exfat, ffpkg, ffpfs,
ffpfsc, zip, 7z, rar and debug FPKG packages, and back again, with experimental LZ4 asset packs for AMPR games.

What's new

• Much faster on the PS5: low-level tuning of the payload for the console.
  • Building an fpkg on the PS5 went from 9 MB/s to ~40 MB/s, over 4x faster.
  • Custom memory allocator for better performance to any conversion target.
• LZ4 / AMPR: smart fix and healing: every conversion now leaves an AMPR game in a working state, on every
  target.
  • No ampr_emu? The bundled one is installed. An older, unknown or trace build is replaced. The same version
    or newer is kept.
  • A stale, damaged or missing ampr_emu.index (a stale one crashes the game) is rebuilt to match the files
    written, and the old trace journal and logs are dropped with it. An index that already matches is kept.
  • Inspect, Convert and the LZ4 tab tell you up front what a conversion will install, replace or rebuild.
  • The LZ4 tab now works for AMPR games that shipped without ampr_emu. Games that don't use AMPR get a clear
    "This game doesn't use AMPR" note instead of actions that can't work.
• Auto-update: Forge checks GitHub for a newer release and shows a small vX.Y.Z is available toast (Update / Later).
  • On the PS5, Update is one click: elfldr downloads the new .elf, the new copy takes over from the old one
    once it is idle, and the page reloads by itself. Running jobs are never interrupted.
  • On macOS, Windows and Linux, Update opens the right download for your system.
