To dump your firmware modules, enable an FTP Server on your PS4, open an FTP Client on your computer (like FileZilla), connect to your PS4 by adding its IP Address and the port to the FTP server, then navigate to ``/system/common/lib/``. Now dump the modules on your PC. It is recommended to dump all modules in the folder in case some are supported in the future. Once they're dumped you can place them in the ``sys_modules`` folder located either in your user folder in your shadPS4 install or in your operating system's default config folder.
To dump your firmware modules:
1. Enable an FTP server on your PS4
2. Open an FTP client on your computer (like FileZilla).
3. Enter the IP Address and FTP server port into your FTP client.
4. Once connected, navigate to ``/system/common/lib/`` on your PS4, and copy all the files you see into a folder on your device.
5. Once they're dumped you can place them in the shadPS4 ``sys_modules`` folder.
- You can find this folder by right clicking on a game, choosing `Open Folder -> Open Log Folder`, and backing out to the previous folder. There you should see the ``sys_modules`` folder.

## 5. Dumping the trophy key ## 5. Dumping the trophy key
To dump the trophy key, use the FTP setup from the prior step, navigate to ``/system/vsh``, and copy the file named `SceShellCore.elf` to your device. Then, using [tropy_key_export.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21354959/tropy_key_export.zip) through a command prompt, input your dumped `SceShellCore.elf` and it will output the trophy key. Just copy the key into shadPS4's trophy key setting, or directly into your shadPS4 config.toml, and shadPS4 can now extract and unlock trophies as you play. 1. Using the FTP setup from the prior step, navigate to ``/system/vsh`` on your PS4, and copy the file named `SceShellCore.elf` to your device.
2. Download [tropy_key_export.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/21354959/tropy_key_export.zip), and extract it anywhere.
- Credits to https://github.com/red-prig for creating this tool.
- This tool is designed for Windows. Linux users can use Wine to open this program, but there isn't a native option for Mac users yet.
3. Drag your dumped `SceShellCore.elf` onto `tropy_key_export.exe`, a command prompt window will appear showing the trophy key.
4. Enter the trophy key into your shadPS4 settings, or directly into your shadPS4 config.toml.
The trophy key dumper is only designed for Windows. There currently isn't a native Linux or Mac program for dumping the trophy key. Once these steps are completed, shadPS4 will unlock trophies as you play.
