OrbisAFR: Orbis PS4 Application File Redirector by TheoryWrong

Proceeding the PS4 Homebrew WIP this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @theorywrong released OrbisAFR on Twitter which is an Orbis PS4 Application File Redirector payload (OrbisAFR.bin) used to edit game files by modders... eventually leading to some new and exciting PS4 game mods!

Download: OrbisAFR-master.zip / Mirror / GIT

According to @CelesteBlue via Twitter, this is basically the PS4 equivalent of RePatch (GIT / Fork / Latest Alpha) for PS Vita consoles.

To quote from the README.md: OrbisAFR

Orbis (PS4) Application File Redirector

OrbisAFR is a payload for edit in-game file easily. Add Skyrim mods, Minecraft texture or any other things without re-buid PKG !

The principle is simple, all new (or replace) data is stocked in /data

Example

For example, i want to edit the intro of Black Ops 3 The introduction is here:

/mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/app0/intro/bo3_global_logo_logosequence.mkv

I have just to upload a new .mkv in

/data/CUSA02624/app0/intro/bo3_global_logo_logosequence.mkv

Now if OrbisAFP is loaded, the .mkv was loaded from /data and not /mnt/sandbox/... !

All file added in /data/CUSA02624/ is like file in /mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/

• If the file exist in /data/CUSA02624/ and in /mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/, the file in data is used
• If the file doesn't exist in /data/CUSA02624/, OrbisAFR use original file from /mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/
• If the file exist in /data/CUSA02624/ and not in /mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/, the file in data is used

OrbisAFR doesn't just replace, but can also add new file in a game ! (Sorry for my bad english )

Will there be 6.72 version of this software in the future?

 

[szczurupasja]

Is this compatible with 9.00?

PS4 needs to have homebrew competition to create plugins, overlays, like we see on PSP and Vita.

imagine an OBS Port for who do not have a good pc for streaming or edit the streaming native system app for streaming from the console, with overlays and all things we have on obs

@szczurupasja sadly no

Does anyone have source code backuped? Github repo seems to be deleted...

 

[PSXHAX]

I added a mirror of the Github archive from around when this article was posted back in 2018 to the OP now... not sure how much newer was published beyond that before it was taken offline though.

Thank you, so maybe someone could port it 9.00?
