Why don't you wait until the console cycle is OVER, before you start to assault the consumer base with your exploits and cheating? I like homebrew. I'm all for it, but usually we only used to mod consoles after they stopped being actively supported, didn't we? Because then it's about preservation, but when you hijack the console that's still supporting games you buy from the official store that still hasn't been Jim Ryan'd, you should seriously support the closed ecosystem before you wanna show off what a hacker you are. At that point I think some of you are just being cruel to consumers and the people earning their salary over at Sony. Please wait, is all I can ask.

Converting/running backups on a jailbroken console is kind of tedious at this time, due to the different formats and game compatibilities with each format.

So I made an electron wrapper to make the process a little bit easier, while also letting you filter and easily apply any backpork patches you may have.

Important Notes:

Windows only at this time (Electron app).
Closed source — this thread is the official spot for downloads, updates, and bug reports/support.
Please do not mirror or re-upload the app directly. Link back to this thread instead so users get the latest version and proper help. Thanks!
Conversions can take 20–60+ minutes depending on game size and your PC. If it's stuck at XX% for a while, it's probably still working — give it time. Don't force-close it.

Download latest UFS2 Tool release, and extract the zip file somewhere, and simply point the app to this new directory

The app expects a clean folder structure so it can auto-detect games properly.

Put only base games in your games root folder (no DLC, no updates/patches mixed in).
Use the standard "gameID-app" format for each game folder, e.g.:
- C:\Games\BLUS12345-app\ (God of War base game)
- C:\Games\CUSA09876-app\ (etc.)

Most dumped games already follow this format.

You can then set this root directory within the apps settings here

This page is auto apply firmware backports/patches:

Organize patches by firmware version in "x.x.x" folders (e.g., 9.00, 10.01, etc.).
Inside each firmware folder, have subfolders named by Game ID containing the patch files.

Code:

Backports/
├── 9.00/
│   ├── BLUS12345/
│   │   ├── patch1.pkg
│   │   └── module.sprx (or whatever your backport files are)
│   └── CUSA09876/
└── 10.01/
    └── ...

App not detecting games? Double check folder names match "XXXX12345-app" style and no extra nesting.
Conversion slow/stuck? Normal for large games monitor Task Manager for CPU and disk activity.
Patch not applying? Ensure backport files are compatible with your target firmware.
Errors during run? Screenshot + describe your setup (firmware, format mode, game example) and post here.
