PS3:TrueAncestor

TrueAncestor (mirror) is a multi-purpose program for extracting and repacking PKG files. You can also resign games to work on lower firmwares or create debug (DEX) EBOOTs (which requires TrueAncestor SELF Resigner 1.96 or lower) for real-time modding with a debugger such as CCAPI.

Extracting a PKG

1. Place a PKG in the "pkg" folder inside the TrueAncestor directory
2. From the start screen in TrueAncestor; type 3 for "Unpack Pkg" and press enter
3. Type the number corresponding to your PKG from the list and press enter. The extracted package will be in the game folder inside the TrueAncestor directory

Resigning and Repacking a PKG
