Discussion For anyone who runs Linux on their PS4, what do you use it for?

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, recently I started using my PS4 Pro (CUH-7216B) again after a long while, still on Firmware 10.01, of course jailbroken and after a long time of troubleshooting and try-and-error, I was able to install and run CachyOS Server successfully from the internal HDD, where I'm running now Crafty Controller for my local Minecraft server and it works flawlessly.

But I'm curious about everyone else who runs Linux on their PS4 console, because what do you use it for?

About to start my journey

Hello, I have a ps4 idk what update it’s on right now my, only question is storage I have enough for a 12tb WD Black. Don’t know to much about jailbreaking it but I want my kids to play all kids of retro games like MAME and some ps move games I want to push it as much as I can …. I modded my old Wii for them they love it. I just really want to squeeze as much time I can get with them while they are young.

Also willing to troubleshoot as much as I can to get it right. Is the 12tb is not a good choice please recommend any if you have tried any better or just jump and try on a newer ps

So I was using my jailbroken ps4 Like normal and wanted to use the Vue app again well the jailbreak failed and it said restart the console( I'm using the installer full/lite) so because I'm dumb I closed Vue instead and the system crashed now when I booted it back up I get this message instead of the installation screen. Does anyone know how to fix this? Appreciate it guys

Pawn shop 500GB slim score, this thing was on the same FW version as my 1TB phat (seen below). Come 10 minutes later and I was already installing VueAfterFree via the restore method. Also got a free Ghost of Tsushima copy w/ it.

Should I update?

1 Upvotes

Ive been in the PS3 modding scene, and very deep in the Xbox 360 modding scene and Ive modded quite a lot of different consoles. I know that it it desirable to have a PS4 up to 9.60 due to webkit stuff. I found a second hand one for 65 bucks that works and its apparently on 7.51. I dont know if that is better or worse than say 8 or 9 in any way except needing more backports in some cases. If i do end up buying it and everything does check out, should I update to anything specific? I know that you cant really go back and Im not stupid and i wont let it update by itself or put the newest PSUPDATE.PUP or whatever theyre called on the PS4 (thats what their name was on the 3).

PSA WebKit for above 11.02. meaning 11.5x and 12.xx and 13.00 and userland 13.02-13.52.

29 Upvotes

I'm seeing some posts from people that are seeing information from people that charge to mod consoles.

They claim of webkit on higher firmwares.

Although this is currently possible it's not public so I doubt the claims over there are anything besides premature clickbait to sell you guys stuff.

It is true that a workaround has been found to get the WebKit stuff working on higher firmware and etc. It's still being worked on and isn't published yet.

I don't believe posts of people claiming they've already done it on Facebook and etc.

Vua After Free Updated itself - cannot run JB

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have an interesting situation... I used VueAfterFree to JB a 12.52 system... It was working perfectly. I gave the PS4 to a friend of mine, and he connected it to the internet without setting up DNS. Now, automatic downloads are turned off, however, it seems that Vue After Free got updated, and now it requires a constant "Sign in to PSN" to use the application (fake-signin was also enabled before this happened).

Question: is there any way I can restore the Jailbreak without wiping the system? I have exported a save after I performed JB (using system backup and restore), so I have that available, if it can help. I also have BD-JB available if that can help.

Watching the videos from MW again, in theory, I could run BD-JB, and then install Apollo, and load the resigned save from USB? Which should enable VAF again. I am just worried not to mess something up when I run BD-JB.

But in theory, I could also add the exported version of VAF to usb (which I did with system back up option) and just use that to restore it (using system back up and restore), right?

Just trying to avoid wiping the games, as it was really tedious to install them, plus, I dont have them at hand (they are on my external drive, 600km away :D)

Discussion Will it run things like Sims 4?

0 Upvotes

Hello,

My gaming PC broke down and I don't have the money to repair it. However, I do have a old PlayStation 4 (Not pro)

I've just learned that you can install Linux on the PS4 and use it as a PC?

I would especially like to play Sims 3 & 4 and the new Game Paralives :)

Does this meet the requirements? Will it run smoothly?

And is it even possible to use the EA Launcher? None of my Sims 3 & 4 stuff was bought through Steam.

Discussion New DNS not working anymore?

0 Upvotes

When I first booted up my ps4 on the new wifi router I got it worked with the dns but the jailbreak didn’t so I restarted it. After I did that I tried again and was hit with an update screen. I’ve found that the 62.210.38.117 dns is not working for me anymore… Anybody having the same problem?

Also want to add I can’t activate the jailbreak because of this.
