Changelog[edit | edit source]
Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ PUP files on PS4 discs are 1 GiB (1073741824, 0x40000000 bytes), regardless of version, as they are zerofilled at the end of the file, just like PS3 PUP were zerofilled to 256 MiB. Hence, their hash will differ from the system PS4UPDATE.PUP file they contain.
