• D-Pad Down: Scroll Down (Experimental v1.3)

HOSTING:

• Follow the hosting section here.
• The USB folder contains config files for the payloads, and applications for use on PC.
• Flash the ESP version with NodeMCU PyFlasher: https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher/releases

KNOWN QUIRKS:

• Self hosting with sandisk connect must be entered entirely relative, and must include the index.html at the end of the address: http://172.25.63.1/myconnect/xproject/index.html
• Stick throttle can be a little touchy if you accidentally push up/down+direction (possibly more so on DUALSHOCK 4 V2)
• Some payloads occasionally have to spit out an OOM error before they run, its how Specter built the loader (bin loader or mira for example)
• VTXHEN+BO3/GTAV Mod Menus sometimes might spit out 1 OOM error before loading, if they do: run HEN payload after the GTA payload has loaded (OOM error prevents HEN chainloading).
• Once any payload is loaded, you must hit the PS button to close the browser, then you can reopen X-Project main page to load the next payload.
• If you get excessive OOM errors, restart your console, then once at XMB restart it again, to clear the memory.
• If you get any kernel panic crash, reboot your console, then once at XMB: restart the console again, to avoid another crash when loading the next payload.
• For some reason you cannot cache the MP4 video used for sound.
• No point caching the included games, run the MakeCache.bat and manually delete any game payload lines.
• The MovieListMaker.BAT in the media folder might not work as-is on some operating systems, you can edit it and change the line: sort compile.txt /o compile2.txt to sort compile.txt > compile2.txt if you have issues.

FAQ:

How do I put this on my ESP: Flash it to your ESP8266 device using NodeMCU PyFlasher: https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher/releases

• ON PS4: Go to Settings > Network > Custom > WIFI-SSID = X-Project Host > Pass: 12345678 > IP: Auto > DHCP: Do Not Specify > DNS: Auto > MTU: Auto > Proxy: Do Not Use > Press O (no need to test connection).
  
  
• TO USE: Open USER GUIDE, or WEB BROWSER and navigate to http://7.7.7.7/index.html.
  
  
• CACHING: Cache it in USERGUIDE or WEB BROWSER or BOTH if you want to use in both: takes under 30 seconds!

FTP SERVER:

This release has it's own built in FTP server so that you can modify files on the ESP8266 device. The ESP8266 FTP settings are:

FTP:7.7.7.7
PORT:21
USER:ESPFTP
PASSWORD:12345678

Connection to the ESP8266 FTP server needs to be passive, maximum 1 connection and and encryption disabled. You can also go to http://7.7.7.7/settings.html to edit more settings.

There are too many payloads: Remove the ones you don't want from index.js, and from the payloads folder (rebuild the .cache too).

I cant load a second payload: Press PS button, and re-enter the web browser between each payload, unless its an AIO where it will load 2 in a row for you. Then press the PS button when loaded. This is a known problem with the web browsers limitations.

I get KP (Kernel Panic): Re-start up the console from crash, when its back to the main UI reboot it, then start from cold boot.

I get OOM errors: If you get more than 3 there is an issue, hold O to close every open tab, PS button back out the browser, reboot, then start from cold boot.

The system lags: this only happens after chain-loaded payloads (HEN+GTA) have been successfully run. You can optionally run HEN and then the GTA menu of choice separately to avoid the lag.

Caching takes so long: It's because you're caching every payload of the X-Project: it will take a few mins! You can always remove payloads from the index.js, and edit the cache down to just what you need.

It's not perfect: Please contribute! Rewrite any parts that can be optimized or adapted and DM or @ mention me to update the main project! I wont be offended, in fact: I want it to be community driven!

I don't like the music: .. doesn't matter now since I removed the intro page

If you think somethings missing: please @ mention me and let me know, I will add it in the next update or hot fix!

PS4 X-Project on ESP8266 via bandzior85

 

[lestasmsc]

@DEFAULTDNB - I can see you have shrunk this to fit on 4MB ESPs, but for those of us that have the 32MB flash, is that big enough to hold the original/full version of X-Project?

 

[Netfreak]

nope, I've read somewhere it was about 90mb
maybe a version in between with more payloads
but you can add the payloads via ftp yourself if you have space left

 

[DEFAULTDNB]

@lestasmsc no it's 90mb like @Netfreak stated, but all you're missing are the biggest GTA V payloads, and 3 alt Linux/API & appcache payloads.

You could always mod the index.js.gz to add back some of the payloads to the menu, then gzip the HTML's from the bigger main version and upload them back to the ESP yourself. You could probably get 2-3 more gta payloads on there.

I didn't realise there were 32mb models of ESP, I think the majority have the 4mb version.

I won mine in a comp over at PlaystationHaX, if I hadn't won one idk if I would ever have developed a proper ESP version...

 

[mschumacher69]

Wow very nice interface @DEFAULTDNB!

 

[Leeful]

@lestasmsc
I have just checked and I can get the total size of the X-Project down to 15mb. This includes all the GTA mods and the other linux and api payloads that I had to leave out of the first release.

The only problem is that they would have to be additional files that you upload yourself via FTP to your 32mb ESP. This is because I do not have a 32mb ESP, and the final .bin file needs to be dumped from the ESP device itself.

If I go ahead and convert the remaining files would you be willing to dump the finished .bin file from your ESP and upload it so that other people with 32mb ESP's could use it?

If you think it's a good idea and are willing to help, let me know and I'll start working on converting the rest of the files.

 

[cristian70]

good job, can you please make a video showing the esp8266 interface

 

[DEFAULTDNB]

@cristian70 the interface is identical to the standard host.

It’s material styled PS3/PSP XMB design.

 

[natedizzle]

Just a fyi when I run your exploit for community trainer by deathrgh it crashes the ps4 everytime. Anyone else running into this?

P.S. Nice site and layout

 

[croplaystation]

you mean your PS4 crashes to rest mode and when you turn it on checks the database? that is kernel panic, just Re-start up the console from crash, when its back to the main UI reboot it, then start from cold boot.

 

[FoxBob]

First of all a big thank to you and all the developers behind a project like this! I know how much time and knowledge you spent to such an project.

But their is one question

How can I change the SSID and the password in the ESP Version? I have only the .bin file to flash it on the ESP and I cant find a way to change them.
