S2 Mini Board Integrated in PS4 Modification by Jose Gonzalez

Proceeding the PS4 / PS5 Fan Mod Adjustable Speed Accelerator Controller, those seeking to free up their PlayStation 4 console's (2) USB ports without an external USB Hub may want to check out @jose gozalez's (Twitter) S2 Mini Board integrated PS4 modification that's soldered directly to the USB 2.0 port connector.

He notes in the Tweets below, "the only requirement is that when the hack is launched it cannot have a USB 2.0 connected while mounting the virtual USB" adding... "if the jailbreak changes, I can still use it to host the host on the board. What is really interesting about this is that it remains as in 5.05 working and with the two USB free and functional."

Below is also a video from his YouTube Channel demonstrating the S2 Mini Board Integrated in the PS4:

The idea is really good. It's work but it's so much easier

@tungatung Not an april fools, this is possible on many devices, he's hardwired the usb cable to the usb port.

@tungatung It really works perfect, the usb connector of the ps4 has two connectors, one of usb 2.0 and another of 3.0, when launching the hack the 2.0 only needs a few seconds, that's why you can have your external usb with your games plugged in at the same time while it spears. For me it was a fun job, not a necessity. a greeting.

@jose gozalez thank you for this! Could you explain a bit about this: you mentioned “you can have your external usb with your games plugged in at the same time while it spears”, and also “the only requirement is that when the hack is launched it cannot have a USB 2.0 connected while mounting the virtual USB”, aren’t these two statements conflict? thx.
