PS4 CFW and Hacks

Last year I've worked on a workaround solution to provide Android users the possibility to use their smartphone as Dualshock gamepad or remote access tool for their PS4.

Only drawback is that you have to establish the connection over your Windows PC (at least Windows 8.1 is required) and the official PS4 Remote Play program and the PSJoy server must be installed on the system.

The solution is far away from ideal but if you have a stable Internet connection it should work without any problems. You can find below some demonstration videos

Demonstration videos:

PSJoy - PS4 Remote Play Spy (Requires Windows 8.1 or newer)
PSJoy Setup - How to use your Android smartphone as Dualshock gamepad for your PS4
Play PS4 Games on any Android - Remote Play 2018 with PSJoy (NO root)
The app is called PSJoy and is available for all Android devices with Android 5.0 or newer. The app will be available for free between October 22 and 28, 2018. If you have any questions feel free to contact me, feedback is desired.

Btw, if delroth decides to finish his open source project I will definitely build an Android version. As he is currently working on other projects no one should put him under pressure as it is anyway his decisions if he wants to continue his work or not. But without his knowledge in reverse engineering I doubt anyone will be able to build an Android version soon.

Last month he shared a PS4 Userland Printf Driver with Usermode Printf to Klog recently added by @zecoxao to the latest HEN (PS4 HEN v1.8 Live Demo / GIT) for PS2 / PSP emulator classics debugging, and following PRXtoSPRX this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @cfwprophet of CFWPrpht.Tumblr.com made available a GODMODE.prx driver module for scene devs to make use of in PS4 homebrew as requested.

Since requested here it is: Used eversions trick of fw version resolving on kernel level to build a dynamically resolved Prison break and most important patches prx. Currently FW's 4.55, 5.01 and 5.05 are supported.

Run "Kamehameha();" once at startup of your userland app code.

Credits to eversion for his fw version resolving trick.

Following the recent X-Project PS4 5.05 Self Host / ESP8266 updates and PS4 1.76 / 4.05 Lists, PlayStation 4 developer @DEFAULTDNB (aka KiiWii on Twitter) has now made available what he calls PS4IDENT which attempts to identify the potential OFW version of sealed new PS4 consoles by entering their model number or datecode in order to save time researching one before purchasing and avoid disappointment of getting one that currently can't be exploited and jailbroken.

To quote from KiiWii on the tool's release: PS4IDENT - Find hackable consoles!

I'm back with a new tool today which has one simple aim: identify the potential OFW version on a sealed new console (obviously this wont work for secondhand or refurbished consoles). No more need to scour the Internet and search forums, I have done it for you!

• PS4IDENT is hosted here: DefaultDNB.Github.io / PS4ID.Github.io (Updated Version)
• Mirrors: Coming Soon

This is based on collated information (which is freely available) from PSDEVWIKI (HERE & HERE) Wikipedia (HERE), the uber-handy [Suggestion] PS4 Bundles & Firmware List thread by Scarecrow B, and a few long days of googling.

All you do is access the link, type in the relevant information from the console packaging and judge for your selves based on the traffic light warnings. (RED = forget it, YELLOW = possibly one OFW or the other, GREEN = almost definitely confirmed).

To avoid confusion: this is a java script web app & it does not require it to be run on a PS4, it will not detect a PS4, it can be run on any browser that supports JS.

I also wanted to showcase...

We've seen P.T. PS4 Model Data & Textures, Final Fantasy XV Character Object Models, Fate / Extella: The Umbral Star work in progress, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition PS4 / PC Asset Conversion and following his Swizzled PS4 Textures Bloodborne research on Github alongside PS4 Havok Files testing developer @SanadskYoutube has made available BBAnimConverter which will currently convert Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 PS4 game animations to HavokTools-friendly files for modders.

Going by Sanadsk on Twitter, he also hosts a popular YouTube Channel to document his research and data mining game assets including PS4 titles such as Shadow of the Colossus below.

Here's more details from the README.md, as follows: BBAnimConverter

Tool Description

The hkx animation files of Bloodborne cannot be opened directly with Havok's Tools, and that's because they are formatted for PS4 use. This tool fixes these animations so that they can be previewed in Havok's Tools.

Usage

Run the program, and Choose the folder you have the HKX files in (The program creates a folder called...

Following some PS4 SPRX Reversing documentation, the PS4 SPRX ELF Archive for devs, a PS4 SPRX PoC, an SPRX Loader utility and PRX-Related Functions developer @CustomHooker of IntentionHackers Forum (Discord) made available a PRXtoSPRX.exe Windows utility for converting PS4 PRX to SPRX (Signed PPU Relocatable eXecutable) files on Twitter alongside a v1.0.2 update recently to his IH-Editor PS4 RTM Tool with details and a usage video guide below.
