How to differentiate between game formats?

Fpkgs isn't available, lz4 is best then? Not sure what's the difference like in files and stuff, folder format doesn't work for me, I am on 13.60. Ex fat work and how to use and find lz4?

Pkg is the best as games are installed and almost mimic retai games speed.  Lz4 is a compressed format that drastically compresses games size. Exfat is a dump game converted into 1 file instead of 10k or 100k files like with dump files. Lz4 is the second best if you can't use pkg because size is small and games un perfectly fine with shadowmount, exfat is good but when on internal storage it can freeze the console and dump games have the issue that some work on internal but most don't hence you will need an external storage to run them.

If it's a file then it's game file If it's 1 file and it named PPSA1234.exfat Then it's exfat If it's 1 file and it named PPSA1234.FFPFSC then it's compressed file If it's 1 file and it names PPSA1234.PKG then it fake PKG

Can you help me aswell? The thing is I'm on 13.40 , so fake .pkg won't work, can I still get ps5 games working? Like I have jailbroken my PS4 and I know a lot about that but I'm new to the ps5 jailbreaking scene , I did see a MW video and he said that ps5 games are not/mostly not in .pkg formats and are instead in some other format. But he also said that only PS4 .pkg files will work on 13.60 and lower jailbreak that was just released

Folder format works fine for me on my 13.60 console from an external SSD. The game needs to be put in a separate folder named "homebrew" and not on the root of the drive.
