Fail0verflow Chaos Computer Club (CCC) 2016 4.05 PS4 Linux, Steam

As planned, today PlayStation 4 hacker Marcan of Fail0verflow covered how they reverse-engineered Sony's PS4 console via FreeBSD / Sandbox to install PS4 Linux on it at Chaos Computer Club (CCC) 2016 alongside a Portal 2 Steam (older Demo / Guide) PS4 demonstration video below on Firmware 4.05!

According to @Joonie of Team Rebug, PlayStation 4 developer @flatz got PS4 Linux running on Firmware 4.05 day 1 too!

While fail0verflow stated that due to the 'drama' that comes along with it they aren't going to be the ones to provide PS4 exploits that may lead to backups on the PlayStation 4 (especially after what Sony did to GeoHot), scene release group TRSi is still active and there are some very interesting things happening HERE so it's best to stay at 4.05 or below although not all developers agree.

So I'm guessing this is only for non retail console ?, because i have retail console on 4.05.

Thats sad. Looks like no public cfw for next 6 month

well if the linux turns out in a xbmc or geexbox that's all good news!

my ps3 with movian play's better and more types of video than ps4.

is the presentation over? Or can we still expect something?

 

[PSXHAX]

It's over, but Marcan is going to update their blog and other people will resume work on the PS4 from there I imagine.

I hope a cfw will come soon... I didn't update my ps4 since 2 months now

Lol, all people care about is backups & are still wondering why f0 is running Linux only.

Don't blame them for not releasing anything.

A lot of other cool stuff can be done with CFW. Backup managers isn't the only reason we want cfw. Linux on PS4 is pretty useless

all i want is retroarch on ps4 with dolphin and nulldc.
