Hello World! I've been reporting on Sony PlayStation hacking news since 2000 and started PSXHAX in 2014 to cover PlayStation (PSX), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), PlayStation TV (PS TV) and next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) platforms along with anything else of interest.
Click on my UserName author link above and you'll be able to view a curated list of all the articles I've contributed thus far to PSXHAX.COM!
Here's further details from the README.md: ps4-ipi
PS4 IPI, short for Internal PKG Installer, is a PlayStation 4 utility homebrew app which will install PKG files from the HDD, making it possible to install PKG files using FTP.
It probably already exists in some way for PS4, but I mainly found this useful for myself so I decided to implement it.
Thanks to sleirsgoevy's firmware escape the homebrew is firmware-agnostic and works on both HEN and Mira.
Usage
Install the PKG onto your PS4;
Enable FTP and upload the PKG you want to install to /data;
Run the app.
IPI vs Debug Settings
IPI does have a disadvantage compared to Debug Settings. Because we're uploading our PKG files now to the HDD instead of having it stored on a USB, the HDD requires 2x the space.
This is fine for small PKG installations, but if your PKG is very large, check with your system if you have enough space on the HDD x 2.
Those interested in reviewing the old PlayStation 4 gamesharing methods can find them linked in the article HERE along with some preliminary Tweets on this method, and as planned today @egycnq made available via Twitter the details and demonstration video from his YouTube Channel on a PS4 and PS5 Unlimited Gamesharing Method via Remote Deactivation Bug outlined below.
Typically when undisclosed PSN vulnerabilities are discovered they end up reported in the PlayStation Bug Bounty Program by someone for profit and consequently patched, as were some other bypasses / loopholes previously covered HERE in the PS5 Scene last fall.
To quote from @egycnq on the steps involved: New PS4 - PS5 Method to Unlimited GameShare
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 get a method that let you Unlimited gameshare any account thanks to Sony.
The PlayStation Account management system not let you remote deactivate any console more than once every 6 months but there is a bug that lead to remote deactivate any primary console unlimited number of times
Steps for PS4 :
Login to a PSN account on console A then active it as primary then deactivate it.
Login to the previous PSN account on console B then active it as primary.
On console A go to account management then try to active the account as primary it will ask you to change to this console , accept... now we remote deactivate console B.
On console A deactivate the account then try to use the account on another console C.
On console C active the account as primary.
Return to console A go to account management then try to active the account as primary it will ask you to change to this console , accept... now we remote deactivate...
In the Tweets below he notes to repack with your base game, and also included is a +90% Save data alongside the corresponding Save Wizard .bin files for use on the CUSA03991 version.
