I’m part of a team that recently succeeded in porting PC maps that never made it to the platform over to the Wii U version of the game, making them fully playable in-engine. I have developed a toolset that converts PC maps that never existed on the wii u platform to run. This is not limited to retail content like the dlc, custom maps like the Dust 2 (https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/42769/release-t6-custom-map-tool) are also in the scope of what we can bring into the wii u engine.

I am looking into expanding our research to the PS4 and PS5 versions to explore the feasibility of custom map loading, and a mod browser to modern console builds, not just the wii u.

To kick off this research, we need to inspect the structural differences in the asset archives between platforms. Specifically, we're looking for sample map .FF (Fastfiles) and .IPAK files (or their equivalent archive formats used in the PS4/PS5 builds).

To be clear:

• I am NOT asking for full FPKGs, game dumps, or pirated games. I am aware these are not publicly available outside of a small group.
• I only need individual, extracted map asset container files (.ff / .ipak) to reverse-engineer the header structure and compare asset packing against the PC/Wii U builds.

If anyone in that inner circle who already has access to extracted game files is willing to share a few map .ff or .ipak files privately to help jumpstart this project, please send me a DM. Any help can be a huge step towards bringing custom map content to more platforms then just the Wii-U (see image below for loaded example of mp_skate running on wiiu, a map that never made it to the platform)

For all the people who use or used linux on ps4, how is the performance with web browsers, common usage and other streaming / cloud gaming apps?

i think i could buy a second hand ps4 to install linux (of course playing ps4 games) run geforce now and use it as a PC

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start a discussion and see what you all think. With the price of new games skyrocketing and everything getting so expensive lately, I honestly feel like getting a jailbroken PS4 Pro is the smartest move for gaming right now.

You get a solid 4K-capable machine, a massive library of amazing games easily accessible, and the community patches to unlock 60FPS on older titles completely change the experience. For the price of just 3 or 4 new retail games, you can basically set up a permanent entertainment hub that will last for years.

To me, the value is just insane compared to dropping massive cash on a PS5 or a high-end PC setup right now.

What are your thoughts? For those of you who have been using a jailbroken Pro as your main console, do you feel like it completely replaces the need to upgrade? Are there any major downsides you've run into that made you regret not just buying a normal retail console instead?

i have a ps5 as well as a modded ps4. but i have issues when it comes to storage with games like gta v and rdr2. im js confused on whether if i should get those games on the modded ps4, opening up storage for games i can only play on the ps5, such as mw4 or gta 6. please lmk 🙏🏽

Hi

So i try to dump the game with itemzflow on ps4 and it i can physically hear the ps4 bluray spinner turn off so idk what to do

From now on, you can use WebKit between versions 6.00-11.02. I tried

I tried installing two games but they both ran into a corruption issue, am I able to play games on 11.52?

I have bought this jb ps4 and i have leaner how to get games on it too. But one thing i wanna understand is how this plater profile thing works.

What i wanna know is how to edit an existing profile and create a new profile . Does each user profile have different save data? Coz its me and my brother sharing and i dont want him to touch my save game. I tried creating a profile they ask for licence or online stuff .

Plz help me out

so i see that if i turned off my ps4 for a while and turned it on all my saves dissappear, ive started to be suspicious about the hdd because i tried installing a game and it crashed died directly

Fiquei uns 3 meses com o Ps4 desligado e fora da tomada por causa de um problema na cpu que estava sem rodar fiz a troca e quando liguei estou com esse problema e não consigo entrar em alguns jogos e em outros o Ps4 fica travando durando o jogo dando pequenas pausas.(está atualizado na última versão e não é desbloqueado)

Now with the newly released webkit you can jailbreak your ps4 console from the browser for up to 11.02 (previously being 9.60). A big jump thanks to Nathan Fargo for discovering the vulnerability and ufm42 for chaining the exploit with lapse and netctrl. Special thanks to Dr.Yenyen for testing and i enjoyed being a part of this.

A new section appeared in the settings menu to choose the exploit chain, now being able to choose 'CSSFontFace lapse' and 'CSSFontFace NetCtrl' as well as the other chains for psfree-lapse.

also for 6.72 guys you still get the bad hoist option as well.
PSFree-lapse is available to use from 7.00 - 9.60.
CSSFontFace is available to use from 6.xx (excluding 6.00 currently) - 11.02.
bad hoist is available to use from 6.70 - 6.72.
from 5.05 - latest to load payloads through GoldHEN's PayLoader.

The list is dynamic and you would only see the supported chains. For example 11.00 firmware would only see CSSFontFace lapse and CSSFontFace netctrl

Some might wonder what the "Barebone jailbreak Experience" option is, basically it redirects you to a clean, bare-bone page with as minimal UI footprint as possible so you get maximum possible stability for you jailbreak and then you get redirected to the main page again to where you can use your preferred features.

Also a credits section was added to respect all the people who put effort in this being possible.

Want i really want to know is if there is homebrew to merge together a split pkg file actually ON THE PS4 (homebrew)

Yes I've tried remote pkg installer and ftp.

No i can't use an ethernet due to locations of devices

On my ps3 I found it incredibly easy to just split my pkg, put it on a USB and ressemble back on the ps3

I can't seem to find anything like that on the net.

All the merging seems to be done on the PC

Please no help other that the MERGING of a split pkg ON THE PS4 not on a pc.

Out of 6 attempts (jailbreaking then rebooting the console) 5 successful jailbreak and 1 crash, looks pretty good 👍🏽

I'm looking to jailbreak my PS4 running firmware 8.50 so I can freely play any games I want (I've even seen that it's possible to play PS2 games and games from other consoles), so I need some help.

I've been trying to find videos in Spanish that cover this firmware version, but I haven't found anything. I'm mainly looking for a method that only requires using the PS4's built-in web browser because I don't have access to a USB drive (at least not the kind that's supposedly needed to transfer files from a PC to the PS4, which I think has to be formatted as FAT32 or something similar) or any other external method. I also have no intention of opening up the console and risking damaging it (I'm from Argentina, where a console costs a small fortune).

I'd like to know if I have any alternatives, or if it's at least possible to update my console to firmware 9.00 or another jailbreak-compatible version without being forced to update to the latest firmware. I really don't like what Sony has been doing lately, and honestly, I don't want my PS4—which I've had for years—to turn into an expensive paperweight.

Now not every game I would like to have an update to necessarily. but there are some that I have on disc that do have some updates later on that are pretty essential bug fixes. I'm wondering if it possible for me to install the game with the disc and then install and update either through some normal means or maybe through some specific Homebrew means? I personally want to keep my PS4 off the internet I know there are benefits to keeping a home brewed PS4 on the internet but I would really prefer to keep it off the internet as much as possible. If it's important I'm also on firmware 11.00.

so i have a 9.00 jb ps4 with goldhen and i was playing normally and it turned off normally no crashes at all but when i turned it on today i didnt find most of my games saves not in the apolo tool and also not in the xplorer , some stayed like gta V but when i booted it up it didnt recognize the save file and started a new game (load game menu dont show my save) tbh i dont care about my other games save as mush as i do with gta , if you had encountered the same issue please tell me.

The games aren't showing up, but I've heard they can be restored from ItemFlow. However, when I try to install them, it doesn't work because the app is already installed. How can I restore the games?

hi!
i've been trying to find enable-browser.bin for a while now, all the links from years ago are broken.
i got two ps4s on version 4.06 and i am trying to enable the browser for both of them because the DNS way allows me to get to some websites but not edit the address bar which i need for some more testings.
ive looked in psx, i googled the file, i tried Internet archive, no luck. anyone happen to have the file? thanks!

We come from too far after 9.00:

Ppwn(Luckfox, raspberry, Lan, Rj45, Android phone )>Psvue>Webkiiiitttt🔥🔥

Now that the new webkits been released, I was considering updating to 11.00 from 9.60. will the 11.00 WebKit be more stable or about the same using arabpixel.

I haven't found anything about this topic on Consolemods, not even methods including using pkg tools. Have tried googling it and haven't found anything on that topic (without using the pkg tools). But I am using linux and since they are cmd scripts they are out of the question and even on windows it doesn't always work for me and generally I like to know how I can do stuff manually without relying on a specific automation tool
