PS4 HEN Enable Updated PlayStation VR Payload with Source Code

I have been messing around with trying to get my VR headset to work with 4.05 for a little while, and because the VR headset is updated to the latest firmware it wouldn't work.

Just recently @XVortex pointed out you can poke a memory value to sort of spoof the system firmware version, so I tried what he said and put together a Enable_VR.bin payload (load the HEN payload and then load the VR payload because the Web exploit will say invalid import map, or use this idc.zip modified IDC exploit to launch it as I have added the 5.05 sections so it does not complain about import map) to poke the offset and found it allowed my VR headset to work.

Update: Ok I sorted out the problem and merged the enable VR mod into XVortex's HEN 1.3 so you can now just run this 1 HEN payload and play VR with the source code below:

Download: ps4-hen-VR.zip (0.01 MB) / ps4-hen-VR.tar.gz (0.05 MB - Source Code) / usb_hen_vr.zip (0.03 MB - for USB Stick) / Ps4_Serve_v1_8.apk / Enable_VR_455.zip / usb_455_vr_enable.zip (0.02 MB) / ps4-hen-VR.zip (0.01 MB) / Enable-VR-50X

I only have 1 VR game to test on at the moment as I have to download the VR games now, but it is Resident Evil 7 and its working with my latest updated VR 3.10 and 4.05 + HEN.

Huge thanks to @XVortex, as you can see this is my VR information:

And this is the game running on VR:

Tested a few more VR games and all works well:

Rush of Blood:

VR Worlds:

Arkham VR:

The hen payload has nothing to do with the qwerty rewrite.
The qwerty rewrite is the webkit exploit.

Also the usb host version(.js) webkit was updated 3 days ago with it.

I wonder why @XVortex updated all his payloads with qwertys rewrite to webkit then.

Check his hen payload for example:
https://github.com/xvortex/ps4-hen-vtx/releases

It says:

• Update with qwertys rewrite to webkit

@mschumacher69 : Didn't qwerty write that his latest webkit rewrite was much more stable?

 

[Riccardo82]

@mschumacher69

because this new implementation makes the exploit more stable..

Before this implementation i had about 7 failures on 10 tries.
After that 1 or 2 failures on 10 tryes.

@mschumacher69

If you look at the commits you will see he updated the exploit folder which is the webkit self host files.

Nothing in the hen payload was changed because userland.js is just the webkit and it does not matter which webkit you use with the hen payload.

@mopoge @Riccardo82 I know but qwerty's rewrite is for the webkit exploit, those are payloads which is something different. This is what @stooged confirmed above.

So after @stooged confirmed that "The hen payload has nothing to do with the qwerty rewrite", I was wondering why @XVortex updated all his payloads with "qwerty's rewrite to webkit".

@stooged he did actually update the payloads as well. I have all his previous payloads (ps4-hen-vtx v1.4, ps4-ftp-vtx v1.2 and ps4-dumper-vtx v1.7) and I downloaded the latest ones which were all posted 2 days ago with the same versions, but the files are different.

I called them a and b to differentiate them, but here are the file sizes:

ps4-hen-vtx-v1.4a 8 KB
ps4-hen-vtx-v1.4b 11 KB

ps4-ftp-vtx-v1.2a 22 KB
ps4-ftp-vtx-v1.2b 17 KB

ps4-dumper-vtx-v1.7a 18 KB
ps4-dumper-vtx-v1.7b 14 KB

Something else...
i have had reports of the new webkit rewrite causing the ps4 and games to hang, lagg and people have had to force shutdown With the same people reporting the old webkit works fine.

So the new exploit executes pretty much first time but it may be causing issues in other areas as the hen payload used in both instances was the same.

 

[mschumacher69]

@stooged maybe that's why he updated the payloads as well then, to make them compatible with the updated webkit exploit.

 

[stooged]

@mschumacher69

Interesting as he has had no updates committed to the source for them.
I guess we will have to wait and see if the source changes.

@stooged I reported these errors (on gbatemp) within seconds of Al-Azifs updated userland.js from qwerty.

The MD5 of his is identical to vortex's updated ones.

There are definiely issues with userland here, and its definitely a memory space problem.

BTW props for the apps and payloads, been following your work, youre a legend.
