PS5 App Dumper (EchoStretch Tool)
PS5 App Dumper is a lightweight beta utility developed by EchoStretch that lets you copy a running game’s application files from your jailbroken PS5 to a connected USB drive. It also automates decryption, making the dumped files ready for testing, modding, or preservation.
This guide explains what game “dumping” means, how PS5 App Dumper works, what you need to use it safely, and important legal notes to keep in mind.

What is Game Dumping?
Game “dumping” means transferring the files of a game from your console’s storage to an external device like a USB drive. On the PS5, this process is more advanced due to stronger file encryption and structure. PS5 App Dumper decrypts and copies game files from the console’s runtime system for legitimate development, testing, or archival use.
How PS5 App Dumper Works
- Runs as an ELF payload on a jailbroken PS5.
- Copies game files from the console’s pfsmnt (mounted runtime files) to a USB drive.
- Automatically decrypts files during the dump process.
- Works with local USB storage only — no built-in network transfer.
- Still in beta, so expect improvements and updates on the GitHub page.
Who Can Use It
This tool is meant for developers, homebrew creators, and advanced users who:
- Have a jailbroken PS5 capable of running unsigned payloads.
- Want local copies of game files for debugging, modding, or preservation.
- Understand homebrew tools and payload workflows.
Requirements
You’ll need:
- A jailbroken PS5 console.
- A USB drive recognized by your PS5.
- The PS5 App Dumper ELF file (from the official GitHub).
- A payload launcher on the PS5 to execute ELF files.
Usage Overview
- Prepare your jailbroken PS5 and payload environment.
- Launch the target game and plug in your USB drive.
- Send and run the App Dumper payload.
- Wait for the tool to copy and decrypt the files.
- Inspect your dump on a PC or laptop afterward.
Note: PS5 App Dumper saves data only to USB. For network transfer, use another tool or workflow.
Legal & Safety Notice
Dumping and decrypting games can be legally restricted in many regions.
Do not share or distribute decrypted game copies — this is piracy and violates copyright law.
Use PS5 App Dumper only for legal purposes such as:
- Personal backups (where allowed)
- Development or modding
- Educational or archival use
Conclusion
PS5 App Dumper is a valuable tool for PS5 developers and modders who need decrypted game files for legitimate projects. It’s simple, USB-focused, and designed for users with technical know-how.
