Hey everyone! I've been working on a native macOS tool for backporting PS5 game dumps and wanted to share it with the community.
What is it?
PS5 MacPork is a free, open source macOS app that handles the complete backport pipeline in one click.
What it does:
Confirmed working games:
Known limitation:Unity engine games requiring FW 12.xx are pending apr emu support in ShadowMount+. Once that drops, MacPork's output should boot seamlessly.
