Remember, check your PS4 firmware version before updating. It's likely a hack for 7.02 will be found too

[@armedready1]

[@adippful]

While it's not that surprising since PS4 is essentially a x86 PC, I still find it fascinating to discover that it's able to run linux, install steam and have access to your steam library from PS4

[@Acid_Snake]

It's not an x86 PC, it's just an x86 device, but it is not a PC as we know them. Porting Linux to the PS4 was actually a daunting task and required heavy modifications to the Linux kernel (even if it's x86, that's just the only similarity it has with PCs, everything else is completely different). There's a nice video of fail0verflow explaining this in much more detail.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

@referral madness Much like PS5, PS4 is a x86 PC just really low end. $300 Compaq Presario shit that they trick the masses into buying.

[@povilasstaniulis9484]

Check out an old video about PS4 hacking from CCC. PS4 is an x86 device with all usual legacy PC stuff removed. That's why Linux required major modifications to run on the PS4. Interestingly, the chipset is an Marvell Armada ARM SoC running it's own custom OS.

Barely.

[@user-yg4kj2mf1p]

But not by Sony this time. All these exploits were public exploits in the open-source code that Sony used. Of course, the active security research scene around open-source gave Sony the ability to respond before an actual working exploit for their product was made. By the time the working exploit had been made, most of the consoles with the exploitable firmware had been sold to non-techie owners, and most of these owners had upgraded them as prompted, so good luck finding one.

[@RobertSeeJen]

I wish console manufacturers would release the "keys" to the console 5 years or so after, production, and support has officially ended Like, they pushed one final update that turned it into a developer unit.

[@Calvin_Coolage]

Be pretty cool but as long as these old consoles have access to the companies' stores, there's no way it'll ever happen.

[@Brick_Eater_]

But then it would be very hard to make consoles backwards compatible with those consoles, since they could put fucked up data on the old console's disk/cart and do stuff with the new console.

[@RobertSeeJen]

@@Brick_Eater_ I guess they could. From a surface level, I can see how this would make sense. But a developer unit is only for developing. When pressing a disc, or manufacturing a cartridge, there is a whole process. So when a console is made backwards compatible, theoretically it could run the program made on the post console death developer unit. But if there's no physical media for it to be drawn from with the new console, then what you have just listed is something that won't really be an issue. Also, almost every console that has had disc based backwards compatibility (at least to my knowledge) has ran the previous gen software disc in a kind of sandbox mode. The Wii ran Gamecube games in a sandbox mode. The Wii U ran Wii games in a sandbox mode. The Xbox 360 runs Xbox games in a sandbox mode. You get the point. The only one I can think of that I'm not sure about it running in sandbox mode was the PS2 for PS1 discs. And I just don't know if it did or not, because I haven't looked into it enough.

[@iamtiredletmerest]

that's exactly what I thought. would be interesting, especially considering how good has Lutris/DXVK got in the near past.

[@kwahoo5746]

DXVK works just fine, and compatibility is quite high. I played a bunch of D3D11 games on my PS4 Pro, including Prey 2017 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4W6fqGuhJWXgac ) and Shadow Warrior 2. The biggest issue is slow CPU and 8GiB of shared RAM. I mostly used 5 GiB as main RAM and 3 GiB for graphics. Even more interesting you can use PSVR with SteamVR on PS4, because it is supported by OpenHMD.

[@gustavgurke9665]

I hope there will be more videos about PS4's Linux capability. I imagine as it gets phased out with the release of the PS5 more PS4s will be moded and Linux community around it will have a chance to grow. I like the idea of turning older hardware into useful mini PCs that can still do a decent amount of computing on the cheap for people who cant afford it.

[@ananon5771]

Small correction,with "steam play/proton" enabled you CAN run directX games,just remember that anticheat may flag you in some cases. (And a bit of config may be needed) But after that,its great for gaming,i use it on my gaming PC so i dont need to use windows (dont like the OS) Also if you use lutris,you can even play games like overwatch and epic game store games (just keep anticheat in mind)

It took Sony until June 2020 to get a public facing bug bounty program put together for the Playstation. If Sony takes it serious which I think they will, future exploits for the PS4 and PS5 being released to the public will be scarce since getting paid will be more enticing.

I’d love to see Sony release a PS1/2 emulator with as many enhancements as possible, that can install games from disk. I think a good chunk of us would actually pay for it (since it would be from Sony). Sure that OS Now stuff seems to exist, but for some of us it’s, well, not as interesting :)

[@rebelscum1925]

I'd rather have the emulator build in the console but that you can put your ps1/ps2 discs in a ps5 and just play it

[@3jake5mee]

Honestly. The PS5 could definitely emulate PS1 games and has the power to run PCSX2 for example, don’t see why they don’t

[@schemar17]

@@3jake5mee cuz their idiots they would rather charge you for PS2 games like they did on the PS4

[@MultiSneakerLover]

Why wud anyone buy that shit

[@RevDrCCoonansr]

I'd like to sincerely thank you for being transparent regarding piracy. It was duly noted and appreciated.

[@sdHansy]

I absolutely love these. I find them to be very interesting and fascinating.

[@GregMcCarthyUK]

To play the latest games you need to update to the latest firmware which is then not jail breakable. It's far from being defeated.

yep, clickbait title, smh.

Whenever I hear this music I know that it's the sound of a hardware manufacturer's heart breaking.

I really like your videos, is amazing how good you are at this!! Because of you I started modifying OG XBOX and I upgrade to 128mb of ram and I can say best console for homebrew and emulation. Thank you very much.

[@TheCod3r]

Been waiting for this one 😁

I don't see why DirectX games wouldn't work. Make sure Proton is enabled for either all games, or individually. Maybe you need to use the following launch option for some of your D3D11 games: PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% Also, some games may require PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 and/or other arguments (search for your games on ProtonDB for details). By the way, Lutris is also excellent for running any kind of games in general, as it sets up everything for you automatically.

I really need to get my dual boot running again. I can definitely say that 6 months of Win10 has been time wasted.

I was surprised to see you didn't mention that PS4 was technically fully owned at the SAMU level a while back, too. The people behind Save Wizard pretty much has to have SAMU Keys to do what they do. It's obviously not public but it's been done. Yeah, the PS4 scene is relatively weak but I think it has to do with more than piracy concerns. Honestly? This gen of consoles just aren't that interesting from a hacking and homebrew standpoint. PS3 can do almost everything PS4 does with homebrew, as well as WiiU. The device isn't a handheld and it's just not so powerful as to warrant deep interest, IMO. Handhelds and power bring interest and that's where I think the coming gen may shine. You get linux on a PS5 and you basically have a powerful PC to work with. Emulators up to Switch (Yuzu) will run on PS5 hardware. Steam will have no problem running just about any PC game it CAN run. Etc.

[@hypernovic5301]

Yeah, hope the next gen gets hacked soon..

[@mahmutpekkara]

I was always watching the whole PS4 Homebrew Scene since first known exploits (late 2015, 1.76 firm). When we found the 4.05 kernel exploits in 2018 January, I immediately bought a PS4 with compatible firmware. Still have the 5.05..

[@RastaJediX]

Don't forget the one model with 2TB storage (the 500 Million edition). Great vid; thanks!!! And don't forget about backporting!
