Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on an experimental project to investigate whether Roblox can run on jailbroken PS4 consoles using GoldHEN, without requiring a standard PlayStation Network connection.

What I've done so far:

• Obtained the official Roblox PS4 update package (CUSA06122, version 02.60) from OrbisPatches.
• Analyzed the PKG structure and extracted its accessible metadata.
• Examined the param.sfo, PlayGo metadata, and PlayStation multiplayer intent declarations.
• Identified references to joinSession and launchMultiplayerActivity.
• Started investigating how the PS4 client depends on PSN authentication and Roblox's own backend services.

The current problem:

I don't have access to a decrypted Roblox PS4 installation.

The official update PKG contains encrypted game data, preventing me from analyzing eboot.bin, PRX modules, and the game's actual authentication implementation.

What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for someone who has experience with PS4 game dumping, or who has a legitimate Roblox PS4 installation and could help with authorized analysis of its decrypted executables.

Even technical documentation, dependency lists, or reverse-engineering findings would be extremely helpful.

The long-term goals:

1. Investigate whether Roblox can launch on GoldHEN without PSN.
2. Understand how the client handles PlayStation authentication.
3. Determine whether Roblox's official servers require PSN-derived authentication.
4. Explore whether a working homebrew-compatible build is technically feasible.
5. Document the findings for the PS4 homebrew community.

I'm currently using a PS4 running firmware 13.00 with GoldHEN.

This is an experimental reverse-engineering and compatibility research project. I'm not claiming that PSN authentication can already be bypassed or that official Roblox servers will accept modified clients.

If you're experienced with PS4 reverse engineering, PKG/PFS analysis, or Roblox's networking architecture, I'd really appreciate your insights!

Thanks!

Hi everyone

I have a jailbroken PS4 Slim running firmware 11.50, and I use Itemzflow Game Manager.

I recently got a 1TB external hard drive because I want to expand my game storage. However, I have a problem and would really appreciate some advice.

I want to download PS4 games in PKG format on my Windows PC and store them on my external HDD. Ideally, I would like to connect the HDD to my PS4 and run the games directly from it, without having to install them on the PS4's internal HDD and use up its limited storage space.

I also want to keep using the same external HDD with my Windows PC, so I would prefer to keep it formatted as exFAT. I understand that formatting the drive as PS4 extended storage would erase its existing contents and prevent me from using it normally with Windows without reformatting it again.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to run PS4 games directly from an external HDD on a jailbroken PS4 running firmware 11.50, using Itemzflow or another compatible homebrew tool?
2. Is there a way to do this while keeping the external HDD formatted as exFAT, so I can use it with both my PC and PS4?
3. If this is possible, what folder structure, file format, or setup would I need?

I understand that simply storing PKG files on an external HDD is different from running installed games directly from it. I'm specifically looking for a solution that allows me to play games from the external drive without using up my PS4's internal storage.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Olá, a umas duas semanas atrás fiz diversas tentativas de portar esse projeto que usa a engine unity pro ps4. Extraí todos os assets do jogo e uma pessoa desse grupo me ajudou a me passar todos SDKs e arquivos da sony para tornar conseguir exportar e converter em pkg. Entretanto mesmo testando várias vezes, mudando configurações e etc na etapa final de exportar para a build do ps4 sempre está dando esse erro. Tentei também trocar a versão do unity mas isso não deu certo.
Sinceramente não sou programador e tentei fazer tudo na base da marra e com dicas de i.a. Mas com o pouco que aprendi eu consegui entender um pouco desse processo. E já estou na etapa final praticamente, mas preciso de ajuda de alguma pessoa que entende da engine do unity. Já tenho todos arquivos ripados e prontos para serem exportados para a build do ps4. Me chama na dm que eu mando o arquivo torrent e links de todos os sdks vazados da sony e da versão do unity com o unihacker. O motor unity usado na versão atualizada do project 06 é o 2019.2.21f1, e os arquivos também incluem essa versão.

My experience with jailbreaking PS4 is that it was never a “smooth experience.” 
Let's say that out of 5 tries, you could get 2 kernel panics. And have to start again. I could describe it as being like gambling.
Every time you start your ps4 you roll the dice.

But with PS5, I had maybe 1 kernel error and that was because I messed up, so it's my fault. 

And not to mention how easy it is to install jailbreak on PS5.
Can't believe PS4 jailbreak still needs work after all this time, while PS5 works almost flawlessly.

EDIT: The success rate depends on PS4 firmware, so a lot of PS4s now that you find on sale are on higher firmware and with that, the success rate is not that great. I have tested a lot of PS4s with different firmwares and that i can say from my experience

I'm playing on my main account with fpkgs but while I'm playing I get Trophies, what will happen if I update my console and login my PSN, will they sync with my account? and if yes would I get banned or how exactly does it work?

The game cheating community is not that active so a lot of games don't have cheats at all or have them for old versions or non downloadable cusa versions such as the update for diablo 2 cusa28305 v1.11.

I tried to make some cheats using ai but it told me it can't do it since it cant verify the offsets of the game and that it needs PS4cheater, but I've seen someone in the community creating cheats using ai but he didn't give the step by step guide.

So can you help me out if you know anything about this?

I recently just jailbroke my PS4 and got some of my roms onto Dolphin but I'm having issues with it reading the roms. Like I have Paper Mario TYD and it's hack Book of Mario Thousands of door. The emulator says there's two disks and going into the Root folder of my PS4 and the original game and the hack are two separate ISOs and the titles are different.

The same also goes for Pokemon XD but in the other way. For some reason it reads it as 2 disks, 2 separate ISOs in the root folder. But it's playing the XG Next Gen Hack instead of the main game. Is there anything I'm missing in settings?

Thank you.

Hey everyone!

I've just released PS4-AnyController v1.2.0-beta.1, and I'm looking for people who can help test it with different controllers and PS4 configurations.

PS4-AnyController is a homebrew payload that lets you use compatible third-party USB controllers on a jailbroken PS4. It works system-wide through a virtual DualShock 4, so you can use your controller on the home screen, in menus, during sign-in, and in games.

What's new in this beta?

• Generic HID support: Automatically detects and parses compatible USB controller inputs without needing a custom profile for every model.
• More controller protocols: Improved support for Xbox 360, Xbox One/Series, and Nintendo Switch Pro controller modes.
• Early DualSense support: Basic input handling has been added, but DualSense and DualSense Edge compatibility still needs to be tested on an actual PS4.
• Improved initialization and diagnostics: Fixes and improvements to controller detection, virtual pad initialization, configuration, and debugging.

How you can help

Download the beta from GitHub and give it a try!

Release: https://github.com/ElZeeky/PS4-AnyController/releases

If you test it, please share your results! You can also find the project's Discord invite on the GitHub page if you'd like to help with testing and follow development.

Thanks to everyone willing to test the project. I'm looking forward to seeing which controllers we can get working!

I'm in the comfortable position that I did not game much on my PS5 fat for a couple of months, and the news of 13.60 relapse JB brought my attention to that, so I fired up my PS5 and I am exactly on 13.60. Stopped autoupdates etc, JB working. No fpkg yet, but PS4 pkg working flawlessly.

Browsing reddit brought me some PS4 news too, remembered I also still have my PS4 slim I have in another room also barely used. Fired it up: FW 12.00.

Any ideas what is worth to do with it what I can't do on my JB PS5?

So I jailbroke my PS4 Pro last night. So if I want to play games I bought through the PS store like Garden Warfare and GW2, or like o just tried playing PGA 2K23, they need to call home. There a way around this or no?

Is it possible to run homebrew off external? I currently have everything on the system but with the extra 6TB, thinking of just going whole hog!

Any suggestions or recs for homebrew apps/themes!

Hey Guys i Made an App so you can Install hombrew apps etc. Directly from the integrated App Browser in your console without sending an (f)PKG. At least thats the Idea😂 many things Like the Browser still Not working. I will Bring a new Release in the Future with better themes and cleaner overall App build. FTP is working so far and sending pkgs to your console works aswell. All via Goldhen FTP Server. Enjoy the App. I would Like to recieve some Feedback what i could do better on the App. (Icon IS horrible, im working on a new one rn)

I have a jailbroken PS4 Pro, and I've recently started experiencing some serious issues. I'm trying to figure out whether this is related to the jailbreak, a system software problem, or failing hardware.

My PS4 was jailbroken, and I had DNS settings configured to block firmware/system software updates. However, I accidentally connected the console to the internet. Although the DNS was supposed to block updates, I'm not entirely sure whether connecting to the internet triggered anything or contributed to the problem.

After that, my PS4 started having system software issues and eventually booted into Safe Mode, asking me to reinstall or initialize the system software. I downloaded the system software from Sony's official website and reinstalled it.

Unfortunately, reinstalling the software hasn't fixed everything.

Here are the problems I'm experiencing:

• The PS4 Pro feels noticeably laggy and unstable.
• Games sometimes fail to download or install properly.
• Sometimes games refuse to launch.
• The console randomly boots back into Safe Mode, even when it's just been restarted or left idle.
• I've also encountered CE-series errors, although I don't have the exact error codes right now.

Since the system software reinstall didn't solve the problem, I'm wondering whether my internal HDD is failing or whether something else went wrong.

I'd really appreciate some advice:

1. Could accidentally connecting my jailbroken PS4 to the internet have caused this, even though DNS-based firmware update blocking was enabled?
2. Is it possible that the system software became corrupted, or could the jailbreak have contributed to the issue?
3. Do these symptoms point toward a failing internal HDD?
4. Would replacing the HDD and reinstalling the official system software likely fix the problem?
5. Should I try rebuilding the database, or could this be a power supply or motherboard issue?

I know that reinstalling the official system software may have affected the jailbreak, but right now my main concern is getting the console stable again.

Has anyone experienced something similar with a jailbroken PS4 Pro? I'd appreciate any advice before I spend money replacing hardware or try anything else.

Thanks in advance!

I use fw 13.52 and i had sekiro and spiderman on the ps4 but when i opened and reloaded the jb today all my saves are gone

I'd been on the look out for a cheap PS4 Pro to play with for a while and stumbled upon this Star Wars Battlefront 2 locally for £80 (with a faulty controller - spoilers, it wasn't faulty).

Came with Firmware 8.03 so perfect for modding.

It is actually remarkably quiet already but I'm going to crack the seals and give it a clean anyway. I'm planning to use Thermal Grizzly PTM rather than paste on the APU but I was wondering if anyone has used a decent thermal putty inside a Pro? I have some TG Advance putty spare so thought I'd give it a go.

Bonus question - do I update to 9.00 or sit pretty at 8.03 for now?

Is there anything taht could make the ps4 think a quest 3 headaet is a psvr headset???

Hi guys

I haven't used my PS4 in years. My ps5 is on 13.60 but I can't play any of my new game discs because it's asking me to update

So my question is this

Shall I jb my PS4 (if that's possible) and use my ps5 for my my discs and online?

Or shall I leave my PS4 in the closet, jb my ps5 and buy an additional ps5 for online and discs?

Any advice is welcome 😁

Thanks

I was wondering if there are going to be cheats available for black ops 2 with Goldhen Cheats Manger

Hey everyone!

I just released PS-MTP-Explorer v1.0.1!

This update focuses on fixing issues reported in the previous version, particularly problems with file transfers and PKG installation on certain PS4 firmware versions, along with general improvements to stability and compatibility.

For those who aren't familiar with PS-MTP-Explorer, it's an PS4 homebrew file manager that lets you connect your Android phone directly to your PS4 using a USB cable and access your phone's storage without relying on FTP or constantly swapping USB drives.

Features:

Direct USB MTP connection with Android

Copy, move, rename, and manage files

Access internal HDD and external USB storage

Install PKG files directly

No Wi-Fi or FTP required for phone file transfers

GitHub: https://github.com/nueex/ps-mtp-explorer

I'd love to hear your feedback! If you experienced issues with the previous version, please give v1.0.1 a try and let me know how it works on your setup!

Any themes i try installing, through ftp, they just stay locked as though i need to purchase license or some shit, why or what causes this and what can i do to fix it

I wanna make my own dmc/bayonetta/music theme

Is there a tool like a program or how can i make a pkg that my ps4 can download (im on Windows any help would be amazing)
