Today m0rph3us1987 will speak at the 35th Chaos Communication Congress (35C3) (Live Stream - Relive) to publicly disclose how to exploit PS4 video applications to run unsigned code on ALL Firmware versions while the PlayStation 4 scene awaits further word on the rumored PS4 Top Secret Method for Games that requires PSN according to @zecoxao on Twitter.

In the meantime, following the multi-platform RetroArch 1.7.5 release, PlayStation Classic Boot Menu + RetroArch Christmas 2018 Public BETA and Orbital PS4 Emulator progress recent Github commits indicate preliminary development is also underway by frangarcj (Twitter) for RetroArch PS4 (Orbis) support!

For those unaware, here's a bit more on RetroArch (Twitter) from the official site at RetroArch.com to quote: "RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players.

It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all.

[stripnwild]

agreed retroarch would be awesome!!!!

 

[sabin1981]

This is outstanding news, far more happy-making than the requires latest firmware, PSN and video tools and Sony will patch it immediately silliness

RetroArch, on an x86 platform as powerful as PS4? This is going to be amazing! Fantastic work, thank you Francisco Garcia!

@vishay: But there is already a SNES Emulator evailable with many games?!

 

[sabin1981]

That SNES emulator is a PS2 PKG, it's basically DreamSNES and the performance/compatibility is limited by the PS2 host, it's not great

 

[ironhide666]

The secret method isnt related to the psnow sub every week, right?

I pray that with this code execution exploit on 6.x we can decipher the algorithm used to generate the X-Passphrase for psn , then edit the index.dat. We need a debugger ported to 6.x asap! If my logic is wrong enlighten me !

 

[DEFAULTDNB]

@SirSilvan83 snes via ps2 via PS4 is not native, and not great emulation.

@Hitch1996 completely wrong bruh.

 

[vishay]

I tried the snes emulater, performance is not that great.
On my ps3 i had retroarch installed and the games were running great, unfortunately i sold my jailbroken ps3

RetroArch doesn't work well even on PS3. I wish good luck to the devs.
