"My sunriser friend darkstorm informs me by private message of the availability of a new version of teARCH, which according to him is probably the most suitable distro for emulators.

teARCH v2 is therefore now available, and it has arguments, a boot in less than 10 seconds on a USB SSD 3.1 key, a very light desktop part to keep maximum power and memory for emulators, in short, a very suitable distro to this area for the PS4."

Thanks for the English version, but it appears to be an earlier version than the French version that doesn't support wifi (did install French version and that did).

Don't suppose you have the updated version in English please.

Edit: Sorry my bad. Managed to change to English, but need to play around as had wifi now lost it 😊
 
i tried installing the english version tearch v2, on cuh-7015 with Belize kernel 4.14.93 and psyche initramfs. I found that after installing, if i type "resume-boot", it doesn't do anything and had to power cycle the ps4.

ctrl-alt-f1/f2/f6/f12 didnt change anything, but after restart and typing exec start-psxitarch.sh got the system to boot into a black screen with a mouse pointer.

i can move the mouse pointer all around the screen but cant do anything else. had to power cycle again. maybe the kernel is wrong, i'll try later versions. anyone else experience this? by the way 4.14.93 is most stable so assumed that was correct.
 
I've tried to install Debian on cuh-1116a internal HDD. Hippies initramfs.cpio.gz and codewrench's bzimage 5.15.15 in user/system/boot and Debian 11 renamed to psxitarch.tar.xz in user/system/linux

When i start 1gb Linux loader it's stuck at this point:

I have the same fat model as you and unfortunately you can't use nazky initframs it only works with slim ps4's hdd, usb install works fine. If you want to install it on fat, you have to use initframs from old hdd install metod for those models here on psxhax (just grab it from the linux 5.05 loader rar, don't use the bzimage from there it's old).

Keep in mind that the folder linux become read only sometimes so you need to delete it from psxitarch distro on usb that has hdd mount app, also set files to write able if it won't boot anymore (it's kind of annoying, distro can't write anything then). I hope nazky will make initframs that works with fat model because wifi is not working on my slim (tried every option available).
 
Hey guys, i'm trying to install the distro but i get an error mesage. I tried the all three alternatives bzImage like by codedwrench (Beta), by ps4boot & mircoho, bzimageAeolia psxita through any 9.00 Option > Linux Group > Whos_That_Southbridge

Failed to load file: bzImage.

Paths checked:
/mnt/usb0/bzImage
/mnt/usb1/bzImage
/mnt/system/boot/bzImage

thanks anyway!
