How to Upload a Custom PS4 Playground Into ESP8266 Guide by Nzie

So here is a tutorial by me (nzie aka @pearlxcore) to upload your custom PS4 Playground into ESP8266 (I use treyjazz's file as sample).

WARNING : THIS TUTORIAL IS FULL OF IMAGES FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING

What you need :

• Arduino IDE
• treyjazz's PS4Exploit file
• ESP8266FS-0.2.0.zip

Instruction :

• Install Arduino IDE

• Once installation is done, go to File -> Preferences

• Insert 'http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json' into Additional Boards Manager URL

• Go to tools -> Board -> Boards Manager

• Scroll down until you see ESP8266 and click install

• Make sure you selected 'NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E module)

• Navigate to C:/Users/you-username/Documents/Arduino, make a new folder named 'tools'

• Inside 'tools' folder, extract 'ESP8266FS-0.2.0.zip' content so the directory will be like this -> C:\Users\your-usename\Documents\Arduino\tools\ESP8266FS\tool\esp8266fs.jar
• Now you have installed ESP8266 library and sketch uploader
• Restart Arduino IDE
• Extract treyjazz's PS4Exploit files somewhere in your pc
• Go to Files -> Open -> navigate to the extracted files folder and select PS4Exploit.ino

• Make sure you select the right board, flash and port in 'Tools' tab

• Now click on 'ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload'

• It will compile the code and files. Wait until the progress reach 100%
• Go to 'Sketch' and click on 'Upload'. Wait until the progress reach 100%
• Once done you can take out ESP8266 and reinsert back to USB port.
• Now you can test the device.
• Note that in this tutorial, the ESP8266 signed with :

IP : 10.13.37.1
SSID : ps4exploit
Password : hackmyps4

• You can change these in the code

• For PS4 network setup, choose wifi (custom) and connect to ESP8266

IP : any
SUBNET : 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY : 10.13.37.1
DNS : 10.13.37.1

Question can we spoof 5.50 and play the latest games?

 

[pearlxcore]

@Kent0y you can’t

 

[cupecups]

@pearlxcore oh this is complicated for dump .bin file

 

[Cris Modzzz]

@pearlxcore My custom playground is done, but i can't dump it to .bin.
When I export the files my .bin is only with size of 327ko.
How to do, what libraries and options do you use?
Thanks

esptool -p COMx -b <baud> read_flash <Start address> <size> filename

@pearlxcore Greats works on tutorial

Just for info: on .ino

if ( path.endsWith( "idc-index.html" ) ) JS_MAX = 7;

is JS_MAX = 7 should we change this value to 4.55? or should she stay the way she is? or can we delete it?

And have you managed to implement folders for each payload on your last esp.bin?

 

[pearlxcore]

@winch03200 I think the code is no use. It from treyjazz code. js_max indicates total .js file for index.html wants to call. I dont have 'idc-index.html' in my playground so it is no use

 

[winch03200]

@pearlxcore
you can confirm me folder work in data ?

 

[spider197312]

@pearlxcore
Buddy, when are you gonna fix the Original in your firmware?

 

[pearlxcore]

@winch03200 cannot use folder

@spider197312 pls try v3. I cant test. Away from home atm
