PSXHAX - PSXHACKS: PSX HAX - PSX HACKS - PLAYSTATION HAX - PLAYSTATION HACKS

Proceeding the PS4 SAA / SAB HDMI Patch PCB for DIY (Do-It-Yourself) PlayStation 4 console modders, those seeking to modify their current DualShock 4 USB-Micro Circuit Board upgrading the PS4's DS4 Controller to the new industry standard USB-C type can now do so for around $20 thanks to Marius Heier of MariusHeier.com (mariusheier on Twitter) noting some plastic from the controller needs to be removed with a rotary tool such as a Dremel to fit the bigger connector.

To begin, locate the JDS number for your controller on the bottom of the USB-micro circuit board following the instructions linked below... only the JDS-55 / JDS-50 version is currently available for the PS4Scene, with the JDS-001, JDS-011, JDS-030 and JDS-040 coming from @MariusHeier soon:

Then check-out on the webshop page above, or from his TinDie.com or Lectronz.com pages.

Why did you make it?

For some reason, Sony doesn't want to add the USB-C connector to the PS4 controller. The USB-C connector has been here for many years now.

The original usb-micro connector that comes with the PS4 controller does not last very long. So I made a circuit board that has a USB-C connector. I published a video about this on my YouTube channel and I got a lot of requests from people who wanted to buy it.

I developed a custom open-source version of the board that was possible to order directly from JLCPCB. However, this requires you to buy a minimum of 5 boards. Many people wanted just one. And my original idea was to just provide people with designs and not finished hardware. However, I'm changing that with this Tindie store. Link to my open-source version here:

While confirmed working by hacker theflow0 on PlayStation 4 consoles below 9.50 PS4 Firmware in addition to today's PS5 Hacking 4.51 (and Under), since the pOOBs4 PS4 Jailbreak 9.00 Exploit is already released much of the focus will be on PS4 Firmware 9.03 and PS4 Firmware 9.04 consoles for this latest BD-JB Blu-ray Disc Java Sandbox Escape unveiled at the HardWear.io Conference 2022 (Official Site) that does NOT allow PS4 Game Backups burned on Blu-ray Disc to be ran without a kernel exploit due to JIT capabilities being present... later clarifying, "because we don't have enough RAM in the BD-J process and there are some other constraints. It was only a theoretical impact."

Proceeding the WinesapOS 3 with Mesa 22.0.3 PS4 Distro, PlayStation 4 Scene developer @noob404 recently updated his PS4Linux.com blog and PS4Linux YouTube Channel with a video tutorial for installing Steam Deck UI on any PS4 Linux Distro alongside setup instructions courtesy of Skylect, to quote:

SteamDeckUI Instructions for Arch-based PS4 Linux Distros

Instructions to setup Steam DeckUI. This has been tested on vanilla manjaro on a Macbook Pro, SteamOS 3 by Nazky and Manjaro by darkstorm.

1. Install gamescope
2. Install Steam, log in and go to settings, Steam Play and enable all other titles with Proton Experimental.
   Steam will want to restart. Allow it.
3. In a terminal window run:
   Code:

   steam -steamos3 -steamdeck -gamepadui

   This may fail with a download error or a statement of no internet. Ignore this and re-run the command. You should get an update. Let this install.
4. Once it's done you may get the download/internet error again, this is okay as the update we needed did install.
5. Close the DeckUI window if one was open. Ctrl+C in the terminal will do this or the x on the window.
6. In terminal run:
   Code:

   steam -gamepadui

   Steam should simply launch the DeckUI. If it asks for an update of around 190,000KB (at time of writing) cancel it or Ctrl+C the terminal window. If you get the update screen simply proceed to the next step, as long as it didnt fully download.
7. Once the DeckUI has loaded, close it and in terminal run:
   Code:

   gamescope -e -h 1080 -f -- steam -gamepadui -noverifyfiles

   The DeckUI should load now in full screen.

There will be a .sh file attached that simply runs this command. In order to close it, Alt+Tab to the terminal and Ctrl+C. Exit to Desktop is not working as far as I can tell. Do not take another update or you will most likely get a black screen on launch with gamescope.

If you do launch to a black screen, start this guide from the $ and make sure you only download the first update...
