Previously we
reported on news of a Steam PS4 Linux demo video, and today
@Osirisx returns with a guide on how to install Steam (not SteamOS) on PlayStation 4 Linux for those interested!
You can find it below, to quote from
OsirisX:
Installing Steam on PS4 Linux
This guide is WIP and more pics will follow.
You may have seen my video running
Steam on the PS4 and this tutorial will explain the procedure. Originally I intended to use Ubuntu for this guide since there's already a tutorial for that but I was having problems enabling graphics acceleration. Instead I chose Fedora which seems to work fine.
Required Hardware:
1.
PS4 with FW 1.76
2. USB disk with at least 8 GB
Required Downloads:
1.
Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-23-10.iso
2.
ps4-radeon-rpms.zip
3.
bZimage & initramfs.cpio.gz
4.
VirtualBox
Boot up Fedora using VirtualBox (with your usb disk attached) and wait until it reaches the welcome screen.
Before we actually install Fedora, we need to partition the usb disk. Open up a terminal and type the following the commands.
Find your usb disk location (Ex: /dev/sda) and use parted to partition it.
Code:
parted /dev/sda
mklabel msdos
mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 513MiB
mkpart primary ext4 513MiB 100%
quit
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
Keeping the terminal open, go back to the welcome screen and click “Install to Hard Drive”. Click on “Installation Destination” once the summary page comes up.
Select your disk and click on “I will configure partitioning” under storage options. Then click “Done”.
