Pirating on consoles?
Pirating on consoles?
So, recently ps4 consoles have been going for decent prices and I've been wondering if getting one to hack is practical and/or possible. Mainly to pirate games. Is this possible? Where else can I ask?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've been looking into this recently, it's possible for both base and pro models if they're under firmware version 9.0, anything above that is not yet exploitable, plus it's a softmod so it's a straightforward process, although it's not persistent across reboots so it's most convenient to leave it in sleep mode rather than power off. I think psx-place is one of the big forums for these things, but all the information is pretty readily available around the place. Good luck with it!
Edit: Turns out a kernel exploit for firmware up to and including 11.00 was released on April 30th, however no one has yet made a jailbreak for it. So while it will be jailbroken soon, currently only up to 9.00 is supported.
Oki, thank you.
So basically no persistence? Would have to jb every reboot?
I believe so, I don't think it's a very involved process, but it requires plugging in a USB drive at a certain point during boot. Some people have automated it with an arduino, but from what I can tell as long as the machine stays on stand by you don't need to re-jailbreak it.
It's that easy?
I have a ps4 on 9.0. Really easy to jailbreak. Modded Warfare on YouTube has really good vidoe on how to do it.
