Hi all,

I'd like to know one thing, I've dumped my user accounts before. So I have the files from system_data and user.
I recently played with files from ps4 and lost my installed accounts.
So I created a new user and go to ftp to re-inject my dump of system_data and user.
Only it doesn't work, the console always reboots on the account I recreated. Is there a solution to this?

@Leeful Save Mounter + FTP, FTP portion doesn't work. Save Mounter works fine.

"Connection established, waiting for welcome message..." it gets stuck here.

Loaded the FTP only and worked. (after rebooting)

@Leeful Hello!

Would it be possible to merge HEN (2.1.2 or newer) + FTP + OrbisAFR ?

The reason behind that is that I'm modding/reversing some games, and so on, need to test different files, which with the actual setup take wayyyyy too much time.

Start the PS4 > start PS-Phwoar! > start HEN > start FTP > put the newest edited file on /data/app0/ (13gb file btw) > start OrbisAFR > start the game > see if the change worked or not > close the game > restart the PS4 ( forced to do that, if not, after 3 FTP start on the same session, the console hard crash) > start the PS4 > start PS-Phwoar! > start HEN > start FTP > put the newest edited file on /data/app0/ > start OrbisAFR > start the game > see if the change worked or not > rince and repeat over and over again.

It takes something like 5 minutes between each test, which obliviously make reversing a chore, and the reason behind that are:
  • The FTP doesn't stay alive when the game or other payload are loaded (like OrbisAFR).
  • Because of this, it's required to restart the FTP payload everytime, which after 2 or 3 FTP payload start, make the PS4 hard-crash (PS4 shutdown and forced to re-initialize the HDD with a recovery update to even boot).
  • Which then force me to restart the PS4, restart the HEN, restart the FTP, restart OrbisAFR etc......

So merging all those 3 payload into 1 would at least reduce the time needed after each boots, ultimately, having a FTP payload that could stay alive during the entire session ( after OrbisAFR and Game launch ) would be the best, but I doubt it's possible right now.

Why not just use PS4-Xplorer and copy your files via USB?

Oh ! That's a good idea, I didn't though about it.

I will test it, I'm a bit worried by the usb speed though, since I need to move a 13gb container.

Still, thanks for the idea. I will try this out.

Edit: Following the idea of not using a payload for the FTP, someone on discord gave me a link to a PS4 FTP app called "ps4 FTPD", and it does work great ! It's exactly what I wanted !

Thanks @fate6 for your idea !

Hi. Is it possible to save only certain games with the Savegames Payload?
I have a lot of saves, and if I start a new game, I only want to save that game's savefile, but right now, with the current payload ,it transfers all the games savefiles to the usb every time, and it takes ages. Selecting just one game (the one currently playing) would be better so saving only that savefile would take a breeze. Thanks!

No, sorry that is not possible with that payload.
If you want to backup individual saves, activate your profile and then you can use the official Application savedata tool to backup your saves to a usb drive.:)

Thanks for your quick reply. Console was never activated and it can't be activated now as if I go online to activate it, it will update to the last firmware. Am I missing something? Is there any secret payload to activate that? :-P

hey @Leeful, is it possible to add the gentoo linux launchers,that would be great.
I've thought about it before but because they include the bzimg and initramfs inside the payload and do not load them from USB they are too large and would slow the whole menu down.
You're best just using the dedicated ps4gentoo website for now.:)

Just offering a suggestion as I don't use Linux on PS4, would it be possible to add a tile that redirects to that site and open a new tab?

I've found a problem where hen 2.1.4 wipes the save for Angry Birds Star Wars [CUSA00184]. It might only be isolated to that particular game (or it might only be me) but I need to wait to see if it is a problem with any other games.

Seems like angry birds is the only game so far, no issues here on other games but there is definitely something strange on 2.1.4.

I searched the internet and found two different games under the name "CUSA00184", is it possible that both games were installed in the console and this caused a strange behavior with the new HEN? (e.g. previous PS4 owner install bad package).

It would be good if someone tested this game (especially the first 4 points):

1) Angry Birds Star Wars(CUSA00184)

2) Valhalla Hills Definitive Edition (CUSA00184) (From someone LiGHT...?)

3) Zombie Army Trilogy (CUSA01837)

4) Trials Fusion (all cusa, for example: CUSA00230)

5) Constructor (CUSA04035)

6) Yesterday Origins (CUSA05319)

7) Zenith(CUSA04324)

8 ) Alien Isolation (CUSA00362)

I don't have a PS4 at this moment :(
