PS4 Linux Loader
A simple payload that let you run Linux on your 4.55 PS4. Works! Vultra helped a lot to port PS4 Linux Loader on 4.55!
How to build
- I use https://github.com/xvortex/ps4-payload-sdk to compile it. You also need to compile https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-kexec and place 'kexec.bin' into this folder. Compile kexec with 'make CFLAG='-DPS4_4_55 -DKASLR -DNO_SYMTAB'.
How to use
- For now only some PS4 FAT models are supported, see the list >>> Here.
- You need a FAT32 formatted USB drive plugged in on any PS4's USB port with the following files on the root directory : bzImage and initramfs.cpio.gz. You can download them here.
- Then you will need to send the payload (PS4-Linux-Loader.bin) to your PS4. For that go to your PS4 web browser, send the payload to your PS4 using netcat or other.. (You can also use my tool: PS4 Payload Sender).
To do:
- Port MN864729 transmitter in Linux for a working video output on newer PS4 (WIP).
