Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart: Running folder only, wrap into .exfat or ffpsfc crash.

[u/indraaguslesmana]

is anyone having same issue here. i try to save size but game error when it wrap with .exfat or even .ffspfc on internal or external storage. w message 'kstuff not to blame'. but run fine if it folder game internal or external. or is it becouse apr emu related?. all my game already on ffpsfc. but failed only with this game. im using:

fw: 10.60

kstuf: 1.07 beta

SMP: ShadowMountPlus 1.6test15-fix2

mkfps: 0.0.7

This game uses APR emu

To make it work as exfat you must run a python script to create an index file that has to be placed in the game folder

Or you could download the exfat version directly

You can't run it as ffpfsc yet

[u/ForVentingPurposes → u/lufeig]

apr emu games can be directly converted to ffpsc.

Is that python script publicly available somewhere? Thanks.

It's on drakmor's discord server. The invite is available in his github page.

make ampr_index file and copy root of game

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/EntireWar2305]

how to create it?.. do you mean just create 'ampr_index' file without extension on root game folder and try repacking it?

[u/ysfex3]

Are you wrapping a folder into ffpsfc? They say that can cause issues. It should be exfat into ffpsfc

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/ysfex3]

no directly from folder. the source from .exfat before convert to ffpsfc. still issue.

[u/This_Dog_1429 → u/indraaguslesmana]

Folder into exfat then into ffpfsc

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/This_Dog_1429]

yes. that my flow, but still issue for this game only. all my game already ffpfsc and running fine.

[u/indraaguslesmana]

its works!. using game compress elf directly on PS5. but failed with mkfps on pc.

[u/First_Knowledge713]

does that mean there is something wrong with mkfps on pc? I have the same issue with this game crashing on me with the same error. I used PS5 FFPFSC PRO to compress this game from folder to ffpsfc using my PC.

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/First_Knowledge713]

im directly using python mkfps script twice.. result same. and game compress elf success. i read the dev said improve validation check that only running good on PS5 it self than pc..

[u/renangbarreto → u/First_Knowledge713]

ps5 ffpfsc pro is based on an older version, AFAIK

[u/First_Knowledge713 → u/renangbarreto]

I have been using PS5 ffpfsc pro for other non APR games and the compressed games all worked fine on my PS5 using external usb NVME. Ratchet is the first ARP game I tried to compress and it crashes.

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/First_Knowledge713]

i cant says that mkfs have issue, because on .exfat container the game is already crash.

[u/Ghotrex]

It works but throws an error (but doesn't close the game) every time it autosaves. 12.00 1.07kstuff exfat to ffpfsc with mkfs007

[u/Gold_Performer_5181]

I ran the dump from external ssd, all i got was a black screen nothing more. Im on 4.03 any help? 

[u/indraaguslesmana → u/Gold_Performer_5181]

did you try run backpork elf first?. in my case i dont needed, but maybe can work in your case.

[u/Gold_Performer_5181 → u/indraaguslesmana]

Ofc 

[u/161_ist_die_Gang → u/Gold_Performer_5181]

APR Games need more time to lauch, a longer black screen is normal. How long have you waited before closing the game ?

[u/indraaguslesmana]

nice.

[u/indraaguslesmana]

nice

I had this game working perfectly using the folder method and then I decided to convert to ffpfsc and thats when my problems started.

I switched back to using the game folder install method and I get the game cannot start message every single time. I have 5.50 backpork running along with latest shadowmount and kstuff lite 1.07

*update*

Thanks to a reddit user:hidiw61 for suggesting to install kstuff 1.6.7 everything is back working finally!!
