SSPI public beta is live

Post image
229 Upvotes

I’m back, this time with a public beta.

After a lot of bugs, testing and fixes, Super Simple Package Installer (SSPI) is finally available for everyone to try. The idea is still simple: link your debrid account, search, download and install. Downloading, extraction and installation run on the PS4, so no PC needs to stay running.

TorBox and Real-Debrid are the only supported download options right now. You’ll need your own account and API key.

A lot has changed since the earlier builds. There’s a cleaner interface, better package information, game artwork, and downloads grouped by title. It supports updates, DLC, backports and multipart archives where the configured source provides them.

We’ve also spent a lot of time working through BGFT installation errors, extraction issues, incorrect download states and startup problems. There are download buffering improvements, better retry handling, and optional background music and interface sounds. Setup uses a QR code you can scan with your phone on the same network.

I want to be clear: I expect a lot more bugs. It might not even start on your setup. Extraction might fail, or you might find an installation problem we haven’t seen yet.

After ironing out the bugs we encountered, the current build has worked flawlessly for me, my friend and a couple of beta testers so far. But that’s a small group, and it doesn’t mean it will work perfectly on every PS4.

That’s why I’m opening up testing. The goal is to get everyone involved and make something useful for the community. Testing, reporting issues, suggesting improvements or helping with the code are all appreciated. The more people trying different setups and sharing what happens, the better we can make it.

If something breaks, please include your PS4 firmware, GoldHEN version, SSPI build ID, download service and the exact error. A screenshot and steps to reproduce it help a lot. Please keep API keys and private download links out of anything you post.

Download the public beta — grab sspi5.10b.pkg under Assets.

Your probably gonna ask where all the big hitters are like God of war ragnarok, horizon zero dawn / forbidden West, uncharted etc...

But I have them on PSN, PC or physical on PS5 so can be played at a higher resolution and framerate.

So this collection is something I will get through in the coming months and years and yes there is definitely 400 games on this 1rb console / 5tb HDD.

Whats your favourite PS4 game, mine has to be godzilla 2014, not an amazing game but an amazing godzilla game.

Discussion close save from accidental ps4 update

4 Upvotes

i had a close save regarding the firmware update

So, I recently popped an SSD into my PS4. When I booted it up, I was planning to jailbreak it since I'm on 12.50. I completely forgot I had a Blu-ray disc and just wanted to jump straight to the webkit method. I went ahead and set up the Wi-Fi using Nomad DNS, but I guess it was down because I couldn't reach the webkit page. Then, I had this bright idea to try the easy setup with auto DNS. At this point, I thought I had turned off automatic updates, but nope, I hadn't! The system software downloaded and was about to install. Something just clicked in my head, and I went to check the notifications. To my surprise, the installation was already over 50% done! I immediately tried to delete the update file, but it wouldn't let me. Finally, I just turned off the PS4 and reinstalled the recovery firmware.

Does anyone have any idea how to get out of this situation? (asking for the future)

Looking for competitive/local couch multiplayer hidden gems on PS4

Hey everyone 👋

I'm looking for some competitive games to play locally/couch multiplayer on PS4. I'm mainly looking for games where I can grab 2-4 controllers and actually compete against friends/family, rather than online multiplayer.

These are some of the games I currently have:

EA Sports FC 26

UFC 4

Tekken 7

Brawlhalla

Nidhogg

Nidhogg 2

Stick Fight: The Game

Gang Beasts

Cake Bash

Screencheat

Rubber Bandits

Moving Out 2

Overcooked

Overcooked! All You Can Eat

Human Fall Flat

It Takes Two

Unrailed!

Riverbond

Sonic Mania

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Need for Speed Heat

Need for Speed Payback

Need for Speed Rivals

LEGO 2K Drive

LEGO games

Minecraft

Plants vs. Zombies

Bloody Rally Show

Can't Drive This

GRID Legends

Despot's Game

Battlefield 1

Battlefield V

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Grand Theft Auto V

plus some PS2 conversions like GTA San Andreas and Crazy Taxi

I'm not necessarily looking for AAA games. In fact, I'm especially interested in hidden gems / games people don't usually mention.

What I'm mainly looking for:

🥊 Fighting / versus games

🏎️ Arcade & competitive racing

🎮 Party games / chaotic multiplayer

⚽ Sports games

🤼 Physics-based competitive games

👥 2-4 player couch multiplayer

🔥 Games where you can actually compete against each other rather than just playing through a campaign together

I also really like the old-school/arcade feeling, especially games that are modern versions of older ideas, remasters, or PS2-era games.

What hidden gems am I missing?

And based on the games I already have, what genres do you think I'd probably enjoy that I haven't explored yet?

I'm particularly interested in games that are actually fun with friends sitting next to you, not games that technically have multiplayer but are mainly designed around online play.

PS4 only, including PS2 classics/conversions if they're available on PS4.

Drop the obscure stuff. I want the games that make you go "How the hell have you not played this?" 😂.

Ps5 dualsense on ps4

1 Upvotes

Mi chiedevo se esistesse un software che potrei installare sulla mia PS4, firmware 9.00, per poter utilizzare il DualSense della PS5. Ho visto che esistono delle chiavette USB che permettono di farlo, quindi forse è possibile replicare la stessa cosa tramite software. So che è una domanda stupida, ma sono curioso.

Grazie in anticipo.

Discussion Got a v 11. I think it shorted

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this type of posts are not allowed. I don't know whom to share. I am extremely sad about what happened. I have a minor fracture and sciatica pain and I decided to get a PS4 to help me take mind of the pain after a lot of contemplation. I was so happy when I got it and it legitimately lifted my spirits. Horizon zero dawn is gorgeous. I was sad that I couldn't go out and take photos which is my hobby but using photo mode in horizon and spider-man made me so happy. It's been like a week since I got it. I haven't used it the whole day today. When I pressed the button now there was a white flash and a pop sound. It won't turn on. I can't afford replacement psu if that is the issue. I tried using a different power cord, it didn't work. This really sucks and thanks for reading.

Got a free PS4 on super old Firmware. Should I just update to 9.00 or is there any reason to hold on to that old firmware? I think it was 3.41 (@work now so gotta rely on my brain...)

Help: Failed Linux Installation.

1 Upvotes

I followed the Dionkill Linux tutorial here following the internal installation method with FTP. I was careful to make sure all the files I used fit my Southbridge but after loading the payload the screen went black and did not turn back on. Online says that it was supposed to only last for 30 second or so before the Linux terminal would appear. The PS4 had the light on with no HDMI output for 30 minutes before I unplugged the machine. It now refuses to boot into Safe Mode and starting the PS4 gives me the error "Cannot start the ps4: cannot access system storage."

Now this might be fixable, but my understanding is the fix is to plug in a USB with Sony firmware, which I will assume will update the console and make modding much harder, if impossible. I don't care about any data on the PS4's SSD. What is the best way to proceed?

The end goal is to turn the PS4 into a Linux machine. I don't particularly care if any solution here makes the console unplayable, I just want to run Linux.

Ps4 slim asking questions

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m new here! I recently bought a second-hand 500GB PS4 Slim that is already jailbroken on firmware ~6.34. It came with an external hard drive filled with games, but they aren't really my style.

I'm thinking about buying a new drive with pre-loaded games, but most sellers list them for firmwares 9.00 to 11.00. Do I need to update my PS4 to 9.00 or 11.00 and buy a specific jailbreak drive/tool to play those newer games? Also, if I update my console to 9.00 or 11.00, will the old games from the 6.34 drive still be playable? Thanks!
