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:

@rynh The usb of the ps4 is made up of a separate 2.0 and 3.0/3.1 connector in the same usb port, I only use the 2.0 for a few seconds while the virtual usb is mounted, leaving the 3.0/3.1 port free at all times and able to have your external hdd connected with your games at the same time while launching the exploit.

On reboot, 2.0 and 3.0/3.1 are functional, it's like connecting an expansion with more usb ports. since it only uses port 2.0 during those seconds, port 3.0/3.1 remains fully functional for use.

If you have never welded plates I do not recommend doing it. I don't know how to explain myself better, greetings.

Is that getting it's power from the on-board battery backup?

@jimbo69jones
It is the same thing that is done to old PCs, put only the battery away from the plate, to avoid damage in the future, I practically only play ps5 and as soon as a hack comes out the ps4 will go to the shelf along with the ps1 fat, ps2 fat and ps3 fat. a greeting.
