PS4Load: PS4 SELF File Loader PKG for Homebrew Developers by Bucanero

Following his Tool to Decrypt PS4 Save Games, PlayStation 4 Scene developer bucanero released via Twitter a PS4Load Signed Executable Linkable Format (SELF) File Loader PKG multi-platform client for Linux, Mac and Windows useful in building PlayStation 4 homebrew applications and games.

Download: IV0000-LOAD00044_00-SDL2GLES20000000.pkg (6.31 MB - PS4Load v0.5.0 PKG) / ps4load-main.zip / GIT / ps3load.zip (81.07 KB - includes ps3load.exe)

• ps3load_client_linux.zip
• ps3load_client_macos.zip
• ps3load_client_win32.zip

Those seeking to support his continued development work in the scene can do so via DParrino (Senza Codici) on Patreon or Bucanerodev (Marcelo Parrino) on PayPal, and here's further details from the README.md: PS4Load

PS4Load is based on the PSL1GHT PS3load sample, now built using the Open Orbis ***.

I hope this version helps you build PS4 homebrews easily!
