PS4 Guides and Tutorials

Since the days of PS3 Linux PlayStation sceners have been Upgrading PS4 Hard Drives, Installing Linux on PS4 and working on various Linux Homebrew Projects including @zecoxao's (Twitter) latest guide on Mounting a PlayStation 4 (PS4) HDD in Linux on a PC for those interested.

This comes following his previous Tutorial to Download PS4 PKGs on the Latest PlayStation 4 Firmware, check it out below from PSDevWiki.com: Mounting HDD in Linux

• Unlike the PS3, where every part of perconsole security (including the HDD) is dictated by the eid_root_key, the PS4 has two perconsole keys for the HDD, one is handled by SAMU (we cannot obtain this key atm) and the other is handled by the South Bridge / AEOLIA / BELIZE (which we can obtain)
• Here I describe the steps to mount your hdd on the pc using the cryptmount utility on Linux

Setup

• EAP HDD Key (check in your kernel dump and in magic.h kern_off_eap_hdd_key offset)
• Linux Distro (i'm using xubuntu live for this)

After the recent PS4 Gentoo Kernel Sources 5.3.7 with Baikal Chip Patches, here is a guide by me (@mircohoooo) covering how to install Gentoo Linux on PlayStation 4 and turn your PS4 into an emulation station!

## How to Install Gentoo and Turn Your PS4 into an Emulation Station

## ✏ Intro:

If Your System Firmware is 5.05, you already know that you have the luck to use a Kernel Exploit which gives you the ability to run a Linux Distribution.

The principle is the same as Fedora for firmware 1.76, you need to copy the image file to a USB stick or hard drive. You can use the tools RUFUS (GUI) in Windows, Etcher for MacOSx or DD under Linux.

After installation, you can enlarge the Linux partition with Gparted in Gentoo, for example if you have installed it on an SSD or HDD on the USB 3.0 port.

My Models:

• CUH-1006A and CUH-7016B
