Ok, something strange is happening..... some of my games which i've played previously are not playing now....
Error code CE-105737-3
e.g. Yotei
kstuff lite 1.07
webserv
dump runner

Even tried shadowmount and nada...... !!!

EDIT 2: I had to delete the icons from the dashboard to enable the game to start again.... Is this normal?

It's the most recent build by Idlesauce. This build is far beyond test 3.

Indeed. The setting in the .ini file is good enough for now. No need for changes.

Well all my payloads are by drakmore so i wouldnt change this combo..

Yes, it happened to me when I updated dump installer. I returned to version 1.01 and voilá

Update Kstuff lite (the newest one linked a few pages again) and then use Shadowmountplus. I have had this error when something unmounts the games. Sometimes you have to manually restart Shadowmountplus after the intial payload launch.

The first native PHU a53 Kraken + APR game has finally launched! It's Evergate, my test game. A giant step has just been taken, but there's still a lot of work to do. However, the proof of concept has been verified.

Nice! What format is it in? As in - what's the file format? How is it installed? Any payload need to be updated for the format to work?

Hopefully he releases a tool to convert other formats to this new container.

Does this kracken format give a better compression and more importantly any degradation is speed?

What does this mean?

This is effectively the equivalent of a PKG file.

Instead of relying on formats like open folders, exFAT images, or PFSC/PSF compression, it uses the PS5's own A53 processor to load and run the files. That means it avoids the performance penalties associated with those formats while also taking up less space than a typical open folder install.

At the moment, this is only a proof of concept release (ArkSama says "I still need to optimize the charging via the A53 at the APR level, but it works."), so there isn't a tool available to convert games into this format yet. Hopefully that changes in the future.

As of now, it's in .phu format, which is not supported with current payloads, so we still have to wait for payloads to support it. So, as I said, this is a proof of concept.

Why is this a big deal?

Native loading using the PS5 hardware - much faster than the current methods
No fiddling with the APR Emu
No open folders
No exFAT/ffpkg/etc... images
No PFSC/PSF compression overhead
Smaller footprint than open folder installs
Works with Unity titles (Evergate is a Unity title) which have traditionally had problems with the current formats
This format works as an independent file that doesn't need to be installed (and can be used on internal SSDs!)

As the ArkSama says: "This is native, no emulator or anything else; the game loads automatically using the A53."

TL;DR: This is essentially PKG-like game loading. If it ends up being released publicly and supported by developers, it could be a huge step forward and make a lot of the current workarounds unnecessary.

To be clear, this game has not been released to the public by ArkSama - it's merely an announcement that says that it's running and almost ready to be released publicly.

It's currently now in .phu format. A different format then what's used. More info will be shared soon.

So after Jordy crying about not releasing FPKG we get pretty much the same thing from someone else

HS2005 · 2026-06-22T11:28:52+0100

Updated kstuff from today. See reason below:

At this point I've heard more about Jordy from you than from Jordy.

PS5 Image Forge Linux v0.2.0 - Batch queue, cross-arch build, and bug fixes

PS5 Image Forge Linux is a self-contained Linux GUI app for creating PS5 game dump images in FFPKG, EXFAT, and FFPFSC formats.

Download: Release v0.2.0 · cherryduck/ps5-image-forge-linux · GitHub

What's new:

Batch conversion queue - queue multiple source items with individual output formats, build them sequentially with per-item progress, and cancel mid-batch
Docker-based cross-arch build - conservative -march=x86-64-v2 compiler flags for Sandy Bridge+ CPU compatibility
Fixed silent crashes after FFPKG builds (worker lifetime race condition)
Fixed signal shadowing between custom finished signals and QThread.finished
Improved UI layout flow (Source → Format → Add to Queue → Queue table → Output dir → BUILD)

Requirements:

Linux desktop (Wayland/X11)
exfatprogs package (pacman -S exfatprogs / apt install exfatprogs)
sudo access (for FFPFSC from folder)
UFS2Tool (for FFPKG): extract linux-x64-selfcontained .zip from Releases · SvenGDK/UFS2Tool · GitHub into UFS2Tool/ next to the binary

Setup:

Extract the archive
Place UFS2Tool in the UFS2Tool/ directory
Run ./ps5-image-forge-linux

Fully self-contained - no Python, pip, or venv needed.

@peteruk batch conversion as requested.

Next step / development will be to showcase FFXVI and after that Spiderman 2 to demonstrate how good / efficient kraken is.

v3.3.22

See what's playing, and stop it. Installed Apps now shows a "Playing" badge
on whatever game is currently running, and the Play button turns into Close
game so you can stop it right from the app (with a confirm — it's the same
as quitting on the console).
More patience when launching a game. A first launch (just-installed, or a
cold start) can take a while to come up. Pressing Play now shows "Starting…"
and waits for the game to actually appear before saying it's playing — and it
won't let you fire a second launch into a game that's still starting (which is
what could knock it back down). If it's taking a while, you get a calm "give
it a moment" note rather than an error.
