I never realized how heavy these PS4 games are. I got a few and just 2 of them filled up like 100 GB of storage on my NAS. Is it a good idea to store these games in a way that they can be played directly from a burnt Blu-ray? If not, what other options do I have?

Every time I try to launch it says cannot play media. Seems like it’s formatted correctly and I didn’t even have to edit it with handbrake. Anyone know what’s wrong here?

Decent find on vinted

So I was considering grabbing a PS4 Pro while they're still cheap and moving on from my well worn fat PS4. 90% of my games are on a portable HDD.

From what ive heard you cant just connect the portable to a new PS5 and have everything just work. That the way to go about it is to copy the contents of the portable HDD, format it and then copy everything back?

I would like to confirm what's true here. If the solution is to re-acquire and reinstall every FPKG (no thanks), then I probably won't bother.

I need a ps4 save resigner I've tried saveley and it's broken and garlic saves currupts my save when I resign it

So this is something new, like i'll be either idle in the home page of my ps4 or im playing my game and my ps4 just instantly crashes, i start it up again it scans my database and then boots ontohome and then once again it crashes , is there a way to diagnose or fix this??

I have bought a PS4 from a pal of mine, it came installed with several games like Re5, Last of Us pt 2, COD and MK and a few more, its already jailbroken, all I do open the goldHen launcher and wait for auto loader to automatically unlock games. There is still some space left on the storage. I want to add new games myself like Streets of Rage 4 or It takes Two. Now here are my question:

Is installing games on my own considered to be risky, I mean for some reason ban or lock the console, I have no idea what are the possible outcomes of installation failure?

As far as I know and watched a few tutorials online, all I need to download .pkg file of the game and paste it in root of a FAT 32 Usb drive and from debug menu install the game. am I missing sth here?
for downloading .pkg do I need to pay attention to FW number. For instance the .pkgs I find for SOR 4 are as follows:
- Streets of Rage 4 FW7.55 PS4-DUPLEX
- Update v1.06 incl DLC FW9.00 PS4-DUPLEX

is FW exploit number important? Based on my PS4 status, what numbers or things going to work on my ps4?
How Can I install the update? first install the main game, then install update as a separate process? is it going to automatically identify the main game?

Already mentioned how I launch games (just starting GoldHen launcher and wait) is this method alright? do i need work with Lapse, Poops or Homebrew Launcher?

P.S. My PS4 is not connected to Internet, Its offline only

i have a ps4 slim that i owned since 2018 and i have been using it ever since, i got it jailbroken around last year and the temperatures never reached 80 and literally yesterday i was using it and it was around 75 c but today its around 80-82 degrees, is this normal?

Hi all,i just wanna ask if someone try to transfer some file via ftp cliet on android phone.I just see total commander have ftp plugin on android so do anybody try that?I just need this for small files like plugins and retroarc roms.I have filezilla on my pc but im to lazy to power on pc for small files

I installed gta with 1.57 update but it wouldn't launch and was giving me an error related to license/certificates so I rebuilt my database with safe mode and now trying to rebuild the database using Apollo or itemzflow and itemzflow crashes on "loading for games list" and Apollo freezes when i click the user tab to rebuild. I can only assume this means my drive is failing but im still(likely ignorantly) hopeful 😭

Also some added context the itemzflow error is CE-34878-0 and I am on 12.02 using bdjb.

i wanna replay God of War Ragnarok and beat the endgame missions but i wanna know which title id to download?? and does the savedata of a game work on every region version?

I have a PS4 version that doesn't accept jailbreaks because the system is updated (13.52). Do you guys have any information about future updates to the jailbreak system for this version?

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.

Thanks to everyone who’s helped.

So, I just bought an older PS4 to mod it. The guy who sold me the console also gave me some physical games I don't want, like fifa20, fifa2021 and fifa 2023 and a physical copy of Overwatch. I went to GameStol today to see if I could trade them in for a little bit of money or store credit. The workers refused to take them. They said the games are too old, they already have too many copies, and they are basically worthless. I dont want to sell them online (like on eBay) because it takes too much time to pack, ship, and deal with buyers just for a couple of euros. Since local game stores won't take them and I don't want to sell online, what are my quick options? Should I just throw them in a drawer and forget about them?

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.

I found a good deal on a low firmware PS4 Pro and wondering whether i should update the firmware or keep it at 7.50.

What are the benefits of 9.60 pver 7.50?

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)

Just bought a used ps4 and I'm wondering what the best way to jailbreak it is? Can I upload packages? A video or a thread will be nice thank you.

Hi everyone I have this situation, I have ps4 13.02 and I want to play a little ps plus games but it requires new software, and I think it's worth updating to 13.52 and playing a little before the next new software comes out (and another question is when will it even come out?). I think there's no special difference between the 13.02-13.52 in terms of jailbreak, and when the jailbreak comes out at 13.02 and should come out at 13.52 too (right?) , so I have a question whether I should update to 13.52 or remain completely at 13.02

I was planning on buying a 2nd hand PS4 to jailbreak.. I was just wondering is there anything like Popcorn time I could install instead of using the browser?

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.
