    Oldies rom-checksum: a command line tool to display checksums for ROM files

    For me the biggest advantage and reason to create the tool is that it not only displays mere file checksums but also "ROM checksums", the latter which are for the headerless part of headered ROM files. Currently it does so for NES ROMs, and I could add more ROM types if there is demand. The...

    Oldies rom-checksum: a command line tool to display checksums for ROM files

    This is a Bash script that displays checksums for ROM files. It can operate on archive files (currently ZIP, 7-ZIP, gzip) and run recursively to display the contents of a directory tree. Project homepage: https://github.com/hippie68/rom-checksum Motivation: I like to operate on the Linux...

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    I am currently developing a cross-platform PKG manager application. One of its primary features is that it can call other PS4 PKG utilities that accept command line arguments. If anyone wants to join the development or to help, code contributions, suggestions, and bug reports are very welcome...

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    Before you spend too much time on it: there is already a cross-platform Drag & Drop GUI version: https://github.com/hippie68/ps4-pkg-compatibility-checker I realize I should have announced it earlier. Of course, there's no problem if you or someone else want to develop a different version.

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    @glenn90 I think the program works correctly now. You can specify game and update PKG files and/or folders that contain such files. If PKGs are married, the checksums should match. You can even check partially downloaded files. https://github.com/hippie68/msum

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    I was told that while it does display a shared digest for files that belong to a specific game, it is the same one for unmarried files, too. A different approach is required.

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    I liked the idea to check for marriage, so I created a small command line program that hopefully does what it claims. I'm not sure it works correctly. It may or may not display the digest you were talking about. If it works, great - if not, it was worth a try. https://github.com/hippie68/msum

    Project pkgrename - a command line tool for renaming PS4 PKG files

    I would like to tell you about the command line utility pkgrename for Unix/Linux/Windows that is used to rename PS4 PKG files. It is not new, but I think it is not well known yet. It has received QOL updates over the years, and recently I have added multithreading and better script support. It...

    Homebrew Way to list all installed content

    It's not a homebrew application, but you can do it with the ftpdump script: https://github.com/hippie68/ftpdump#list-and-download-pkg-files Currently it does not list version numbers, but I could add that if it doesn't slow things down too much. Version numbers added!

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    This is an old post from sleirsgoevy, but do you know if it has been discussed anywhere yet? I have tried to visualize the data, and it looks like a gaussian bell curve, with the current address being not optimally centered. Perhaps choosing a different value could slightly improve the WebKit...

    Hacking Question about PS4 linux

    I recently bought a USB 3.0 hub (those cheapest 4-port hubs on eBay) which turned out to work well on Windows 10 but not at all on Linux, and not on the PS4 (both Orbis OS and Linux). Better make sure it says "for Linux" when you are about to buy one.

    Hacking Working Bailkal Linux Kernels for PS4pros on 6.72 and distros

    It might help to create a file called "bootargs.txt" on the FAT32 USB partition, and put this line inside: drm.edid_firmware=edid/1920x1080.bin This helped me to prevent a black screen on (some) 5.3.x kernels. It will only work for kernels > 4.15 and, it seems, requires sleirsgoevy's Linux...

    Hacking Working Bailkal Linux Kernels for PS4pros on 6.72 and distros

    Can you recommend a Wi-Fi adapter that will work out-of-the-box, without the need for Internet access to set it up? As my PS4 has no Wi-Fi nor Bluetooth nor Ethernet under Linux.

    Tutorial PS4 Exploit Guide

    @naddel81 On the PS4, you can set the gateway to 0.0.0.0, and then it won't have Internet access but LAN access.
