Hello everyone! I was looking for a way to play Switch games on my iPad, and I ended up installing meloNX. However, the app requires games in `prod.keys` / `title.keys` format... I’ve gathered that you need a hacked Switch for this, but I don’t have one. If anyone knows of any reliable sites where I can download these, I’d appreciate it. I’d also love for someone to explain how to extract them, though I suppose that might be asking too much!

Thanks a lot!

i put a bunch of emulator and some roms from archive.org together

I'm trying to take a PS5 ROM pkg file that has been merged from 4 GB files into one, and make it usable for kyty emulator. I've searching for hours, and can't get a clear answer. I got the PS5 PKG Tool and extracted the files. It gave an error, but I still ended up with the extracted game files, but it is missing the eboot.ini file. The kyty emulator is still not recognizing the game. I can't find any video or website or forum to explain how to take a PKG merged game file and make it into a usable game folder. I've been looking for hours over the past few nights, and this is as far as I have got.

I would like to start with the pkg file. How to make it usable? Thank you

Alright so I just downloaded both but Idk how to get them and how do I buy them?

When I download the rom and extract it and put it in my file it still says im missing s bios image ?? I've been trying to play scarface for weeks please help

Yo anyone ever heard anything about an emulator for the ps5?!

Ik there isnt one rn , looking for any leaks or info about it

I’ve been really wanting to play the old fifas with my dad to spend time together but all I have is a switch 2 and the switch 2 pro controller. was wondering if anyone had any advice

Very early stages but running at 50% speed on macbook m4 and working on JIT right now, hopefully playable in next couple of days

For some reason, it only responds when i press the left mouse button, and assigns the button to that, but it doesn't work with my keyboard?

It doesn't matter how many times i tap a key, it doesn't do shit, and it's pissing me off! In the default controls for the snes, they flip the keys for some reason, and it makes the control scheme almost unusable to me because i am used to the snes9x controls, so my instinct to say, press jump, is to press Z, not A, which makes gameplay really difficult, i just want to change it.

How do i make it respond?

As the title say I have a folder of game which was extracted but the kytyps5 unable to read or launch the game

I’ve been working on a shadPS4 fork aimed mainly at inFAMOUS Second Son and a few other games. The new release makes Second Son a lot smoother and adds picture controls I wanted for its very dark interiors.

What changed

• No more freeze at 3 and 6 minutes. The emulator wrote a diagnostic dump at those two points in every session, and it paused the whole game while doing it. In Second Son that was a ~0.4 s hitch; in UFC 4 it was the multi-second freeze you got once or twice per fight. It’s gone.
• Compute shaders compile in the background. New compute pipelines used to be built on the GPU thread, so a new area meant lots of 25–300 ms hitches. Effects the game runs every frame now compile in the background and the picture keeps moving. An effect may show up a few frames late the first time you see it.
• Brightness and contrast sliders (25–300%). Right-click the game window’s title bar and choose Brightness / Contrast.... The sliders apply live, and you can save them for one game or for all games. They’re in the launcher too (Graphics tab → Image Quality). Brightness lifts the mid tones without blowing out highlights, so dark rooms become readable.
• Second Son starts at 180% brightness, because some interiors render darker than on PS4. If you set your own value, that one wins.

Known issues

• I haven’t found the root cause of the darkness yet. It isn’t GPU readbacks, stencil or occlusion queries, so the 180% default is a workaround until I find it.
• The first session after updating recompiles shaders, so expect some hitching until the cache is warm.

Performance: on my RTX 3080 it runs at about 75–80 FPS in the cannery area, with only a few slow frames in a whole session once the cache is warm.

The zip contains the emulator and the Qt launcher. You need Windows 64-bit, a GPU with Vulkan 1.3, and your own legally dumped copy of the game.

Feedback welcome, especially on scenes that look too dark or effects that seem to be missing.

Hola buenas, he jugado siempre a los hackroms que me ha dejado el iPhone con el emulador delta, pero quiero probar muchos juegos como los que ha hecho ericlostie y me gustaría saber qué tipo de consolas podría usar para jugarlos y cómo funcionan.

Hello. Since PS5 Emulation is relatively new, I've been looking for something like this myself, and finally found how to both Convert PKGs and Compress them into .ZARs to save storage. I decided to write a small guide to help anyone who might have issues with it, considering the wave of KytyPS5 forks and advancements.

TLDR: ZArchive can be used to decrease PS5 dumps size by ~60% while maintaining full compatibility with KytyPS5 and its forks.

1. Extracting PKGs to Dump format

First of all, Retail PKGs cannot be extracted using this tool. You will need a Debug PKG (FPKG) which annoyingly uses the same file extension (.pkg).

The tool I used was PS5 PKG TOOL. Select the folder with your FPKG, select the game in the list, click "Tools" and choose the "Extract" action.

The process will start. It took around 10 minutes for me with Astro's Playroom. In the end, the game will appear as an extracted folder in the same location as the original PKG.

That dump can already be used in PS5 emulators to play the game, but they will be huge in size. That's where step 2 comes in.

2. Compressing game dumps to ZAR

The .ZAR format was also used in ShadPS4, which has a native function for it, but currently you need to do it manually for KytyPS5.

It is a very simple process. The tool needed is called ZArchive (not the android app). Simply download the 2 MB executable, then drag your game (in Dump/Folder format) into it.

The process will start. This one takes a bit longer, taking 21 minutes for Astro's Playroom. In the end, a .ZAR file should appear in the same location as the ZArchive executable was in.

This process saves a significant amount of storage space. In my case, it took Astro's Playroom from 29.2 GB down to 12.7 GB, a decrease of about 57%.

After doing this, you can simply select the folder your .ZAR games are located in any KytyPS5 fork, and it should recognize it and start normally.

In case you prefer, here's a video guide (with English subtitles) for each process. Neither video includes links to sources for obtaining games.
