PS4 NPDRM (Retail) PKG to Debug PKG The WhiteHex Conversion

We've got a little surprise for people who have been patiently waiting to see what kind of progress has been made on the PS4 scene. A hacker by the name of @WhiteHex (YouTube Channel) has recently contacted me with some information and I have come here to help get the ball rolling.

There have been recent developments in the area of converting a retail version of a game into a full blown debug game. The game used was a Retail Version of Minecraft which was converted to a debug pkg and installed in the same way a game or demo from the PlayStation store would be.

Previously a method using the APP_Home, a similar method that was used on the PS3 was used to achieve this result on the PS4. This new method of converting allows for the game to be installed directly from the console so no computer is needed. A lot of work is happening but a lot of work still needs to be done.

Below are some images showing the game in the PS4's menu and the last picture shows it being closed.

Thanks everyone for your continued support and @WhiteHex and other scene members would like everyone to know that Homebrew is coming! Soon, we will be able to play and use our favorite homebrew on our favorite console!

at the moment, a debug pkg will not work on a retail. Retails just dont have the keys to decrypt debug stuff. We're working on ways to patch stuff like this, so we can try to enable homebrew in the future. But we as a group know. also enabling homebrew will enable backups.

thank for your work, i think hack PS4 not just for game, i want more homebrew, like control fan speed software or class emu, it will be fun. so thank your team work, and hope you more info, thank you.

This exactly. After I suffered through ylod on my old fat PS3 and rlod on my slim PS3. I will not even turn on my extra PS4 (1.50) untill I can get fan control on it. I know the PS4 was designed with better cooling in mind, but it would be great if I can make sure that I can prevent it from burning in the future.
