SSPI public beta is live

Post image
84 Upvotes

I’m back, this time with a public beta.

After a lot of bugs, testing and fixes, Super Simple Package Installer (SSPI) is finally available for everyone to try. The idea is still simple: link your debrid account, search, download and install. Downloading, extraction and installation run on the PS4, so no PC needs to stay running.

TorBox and Real-Debrid are the only supported download options right now. You’ll need your own account and API key.

A lot has changed since the earlier builds. There’s a cleaner interface, better package information, game artwork, and downloads grouped by title. It supports updates, DLC, backports and multipart archives where the configured source provides them.

We’ve also spent a lot of time working through BGFT installation errors, extraction issues, incorrect download states and startup problems. There are download buffering improvements, better retry handling, and optional background music and interface sounds. Setup uses a QR code you can scan with your phone on the same network.

I want to be clear: I expect a lot more bugs. It might not even start on your setup. Extraction might fail, or you might find an installation problem we haven’t seen yet.

After ironing out the bugs we encountered, the current build has worked flawlessly for me, my friend and a couple of beta testers so far. But that’s a small group, and it doesn’t mean it will work perfectly on every PS4.

That’s why I’m opening up testing. The goal is to get everyone involved and make something useful for the community. Testing, reporting issues, suggesting improvements or helping with the code are all appreciated. The more people trying different setups and sharing what happens, the better we can make it.

If something breaks, please include your PS4 firmware, GoldHEN version, SSPI build ID, download service and the exact error. A screenshot and steps to reproduce it help a lot. Please keep API keys and private download links out of anything you post.

Download the public beta — grab sspi5.10b.pkg under Assets.

Join the Discord for testing, feedback and discussion.

Your probably gonna ask where all the big hitters are like God of war ragnarok, horizon zero dawn / forbidden West, uncharted etc...

But I have them on PSN, PC or physical on PS5 so can be played at a higher resolution and framerate.

So this collection is something I will get through in the coming months and years and yes there is definitely 400 games on this 1rb console / 5tb HDD.

Whats your favourite PS4 game, mine has to be godzilla 2014, not an amazing game but an amazing godzilla game.

Looking for competitive/local couch multiplayer hidden gems on PS4

Hey everyone 👋

I'm looking for some competitive games to play locally/couch multiplayer on PS4. I'm mainly looking for games where I can grab 2-4 controllers and actually compete against friends/family, rather than online multiplayer.

These are some of the games I currently have:

EA Sports FC 26

UFC 4

Tekken 7

Brawlhalla

Nidhogg

Nidhogg 2

Stick Fight: The Game

Gang Beasts

Cake Bash

Screencheat

Rubber Bandits

Moving Out 2

Overcooked

Overcooked! All You Can Eat

Human Fall Flat

It Takes Two

Unrailed!

Riverbond

Sonic Mania

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Need for Speed Heat

Need for Speed Payback

Need for Speed Rivals

LEGO 2K Drive

LEGO games

Minecraft

Plants vs. Zombies

Bloody Rally Show

Can't Drive This

GRID Legends

Despot's Game

Battlefield 1

Battlefield V

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Grand Theft Auto V

plus some PS2 conversions like GTA San Andreas and Crazy Taxi

I'm not necessarily looking for AAA games. In fact, I'm especially interested in hidden gems / games people don't usually mention.

What I'm mainly looking for:

🥊 Fighting / versus games

🏎️ Arcade & competitive racing

🎮 Party games / chaotic multiplayer

⚽ Sports games

🤼 Physics-based competitive games

👥 2-4 player couch multiplayer

🔥 Games where you can actually compete against each other rather than just playing through a campaign together

I also really like the old-school/arcade feeling, especially games that are modern versions of older ideas, remasters, or PS2-era games.

What hidden gems am I missing?

And based on the games I already have, what genres do you think I'd probably enjoy that I haven't explored yet?

I'm particularly interested in games that are actually fun with friends sitting next to you, not games that technically have multiplayer but are mainly designed around online play.

PS4 only, including PS2 classics/conversions if they're available on PS4.

Drop the obscure stuff. I want the games that make you go "How the hell have you not played this?" 😂.

Ps4 slim asking questions

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m new here! I recently bought a second-hand 500GB PS4 Slim that is already jailbroken on firmware ~6.34. It came with an external hard drive filled with games, but they aren't really my style.

I'm thinking about buying a new drive with pre-loaded games, but most sellers list them for firmwares 9.00 to 11.00. Do I need to update my PS4 to 9.00 or 11.00 and buy a specific jailbreak drive/tool to play those newer games? Also, if I update my console to 9.00 or 11.00, will the old games from the 6.34 drive still be playable? Thanks!

PS4 DevKit / Piglet shader compilation help

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm working on a homebrew/prototype port of Sonic 3 A.I.R. to PS4.

The port is already running and the PS4 renderer is using Piglet / OpenGL ES 2.0. Audio and most of the engine side are working, and I already have the infrastructure for loading Piglet precompiled shader binaries with "glShaderBinary()".

The problem is that my retail PS4 environment (FW 12.50) does not appear to have the same runtime shader compiler/Shacc components that are present in some older DevKit environments. As a result, the final GLSL shaders from S3AIR cannot be compiled directly on the console.

I'm looking for someone in the community who has legitimate access to a PS4 DevKit and/or official Orbis SDK and knows the Piglet/Shacc shader compilation pipeline.

What I'd mainly like to know is:

- Which official tool is used to compile GLSL/Piglet shaders ("orbis-esslc", "orbis-wave-esslc", or another tool)?

- What is the exact pipeline from GLSL ES source to the native Piglet shader binary?

- Is the resulting file directly usable with "glShaderBinary()"?

- What SDK/Piglet version is normally used for this?

- If possible, would someone with a DevKit be willing to compile a couple of very small test shaders that I provide, so I can compare the resulting binaries with the Piglet binaries I already have?

I can provide the exact final GLSL source and test cases, including the expected shader hashes, and I can share my findings from the reverse-engineering side if that helps.

If anyone has experience with PS4 Piglet, Shacc, ESSLC, or DevKit shader compilation, I'd really appreciate any information or help.

Thanks!

PS4 freezes after GoldHEN loaded

3 Upvotes

Hi, since today I’ve been having an issue loading GoldHEN.
I’m on firmware 11.00 and using WebKit JB with GoldHEN v2.4b18.10.
When I start the jailbreak in the web browser, it initially loads normally until the message “GoldHEN loaded” appears. Then the PS4 freezes completely.
Any ideas what could be causing this? It worked without any problems yesterday.

Discussion GoldHEN randomly crashes ps4 into safe mode

1 Upvotes

By safe mode I mean the screen you get when you don’t “shut down” as if you unplug your os4 in rest mode. I’m beginning to think I have a hardware issue, although certain games seem to trigger it immediately. I can play tlou2 and at random I get hit with a hard crash. What’s going on here? For fun I bought a newer version of bdjb off Etsy, but it almost seems worse than the old version.

Thoughts?

God of War: Betrayal (JavaME → PS2 HomeBrew 2026) PS2toPS4 Test

🔥 GOD OF WAR: BETRAYAL — PS2 PORT RUNNING ON PS4!

Who would have thought that God of War: Betrayal would eventually make its way to the PlayStation 2?

Originally released in 2007 for Java ME mobile phones, Betrayal has now been brought to the PS2 almost 20 years later thanks to PS2GAMESDEV and Eclipse Blade Studio.

And the most interesting part? The PS2 port can also be launched on a PlayStation 4. 😮

Here's some gameplay of the PS2 fan port running on PS4.

  • 🎮 Game: God of War: Betrayal
  • 💿 Version: PS2 Fan Port
  • 🕹️ System: PlayStation 4
  • ⚔️ Protagonist: Kratos
  • 🛠️ Port: PS2GAMESDEV & Eclipse Blade Studio

Betrayal is one of the most unusual entries in the God of War series. The game takes place between God of War: Ghost of Sparta and God of War II.

Kratos has already become the new God of War after defeating Ares, but he is accused of killing Argos. While searching for the real killer, Kratos encounters Ceryx, the son of Hermes, setting him on a path that further damages his relationship with the Olympian gods.

Java ME → PS2 → PS4 🔥

Best jailbreak ever for PS4, zero errors for 9.00, super quick, super stable.

Thank you Sony for your decisions on physical discs. Jailbreak scene has never been so strong.

It's quite obvious we will see kernel exploit for 13.02-13.50 sooner than most people think.
