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

    What's new

    • Edit tab: browse and edit game's files: rename, delete, add or replace files and folders.
      • In place: written straight into an exfat or ffpkg when the changes fit its free space (ffpfs:
        deletes, renames and replacements that fit the old file's space).
      • Rebuild: otherwise, and for ffpfsc and fpkg, a new image is built beside the old one, verified, then
        swapped in. Any failure leaves the original as it was.
      • Extract copies files or folders out of any source: images, fpkg and archives included.
    • Storage tab: the Library plus a new File explorer that renames, moves and
      deletes files and folders.
    • Additional content: a DLC or update is recognised and labelled
      everywhere, can be edited and extracted.
    • PS5:
      • Images ShadowMountPlus has mounted are tagged Mounted in the File explorer and can't be edited, moved or
        deleted while mounted.
      • L2 / R2 switch tabs for fast navigation.

    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.

    What's new

    • Clearer job progress: each job lists its steps (done, current, upcoming), shows the time in the current
      step, and shows speed and time left only where bytes are actually streaming.

    • UI fixes, many from an audit of the PS5 web UI.

    • New fpkg level: Stored (--kraken stored): an uncompressed package, for a console that installs a
      compressed package but won't start it.

    • Faster:

      • .7z sources decode on several threads: a solid archive went from 143 s to 22 s, a non-solid one from 156 s
        to 42 s.
      • Big .rar sources with thousands of files no longer stall before the copy starts (a 7,169-file archive's
        check went from 10+ minutes to 33 s), and folder output reads the next file ahead (57 s → 47 s).
      • Verification overlaps hashing with reading: .exfat and .ffpfs checks and LZ4 pack/unpack take about
        half the time.

    What's new

    • 11 languages: English, Russian, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Brazilian
      Portuguese, Italian, Korean and Arabic (right-to-left). The system language is picked automatically; change it
      in the About tab. Game titles follow the chosen language too, and the PS5 notifications follow the console's.
    • Archives as a source: convert a game straight from a .zip, .7z or .rar, on every platform including
      the PS5. Nothing is unpacked to disk: the game is read from the archive as it is written. Multi-part sets
      (.part1.rar, .rar + .r00, .7z.001, .zip.001, .z01….zip) and password-protected 7z/rar are
      supported; common release-site passwords are tried automatically, and you are asked only when none fits.
    • A batch of bug fixes and performance improvements, plus UI polish.

    Thanks to everyone who tested the previous builds!
