I'm curious whether or not you'd be able to get PSN titles onto a hacked PS4. Beat Saber would be a great example. That would keep me from selling my PS4 Pro.

no reason why not

I just want to chime in and say it was interesting to see this development in the PS4 scene but I sold my dusty 5.05FW PS4 Pro for $580 on ebay during the beginning of the Covid-19 quarantine. Given that more and more console titles are finding their way to PC I'm hesitating on buying a day 1 PS5 this time around.

I've really enjoyed the Nintendo Switch so much that it has become the only thing I want to play games on. Maybe something on the horizon for Playstation will pull me back come PS5 release.

i love my switch as well but some games just need a pc's power. Then again they are also a headache sometimes. Maybe next gen will change this. But if all I had was a switch to game on I wouldn't notice but that is def not my situation. Switch is such fun in the sense of a portable device and all but compared to say vr on ps4 or something with raytracing on pc gosh it's kinda gimped ya know? It's a funny thing. Like I have met alot of gamers who stay a gen behind. Consoles and games are cheap that way. People still playing ps3 and 360 heavy basically. They still have fun right? But for me the allure of new tech like HDR and Raytracing and VR these things really changed gaming for me. Now switch does have VR but....lol just not the same compared to say RE7. I am amazed at the price you got for your ps4. But in my dreams I forsee a ps4 that will be a true emulation powerhouse (some say via linux it already is!). If you ask me time to take some of that profit and reinvest. For the price. The quality of machine a ps4 is specifically a pro is still very impressive. But over time I have amassed such a collection of computers and consoles the real appeal to a jailbroken ps4 to me is I can put it in my bookbag. I power it on and it just works. I just don't get that from pc gaming.

So will a PS4 pro console on FW 6.72 and below be able to install the exploit and run pirated games? If so, is there a list of consoles ( like bundles or SNs ) that would guarantee being on FW 6.72 and below?

Okay all you newcomers who want to get into playing fake pkg format on the ps4 , let see if I can explain this.

You dont flash no custom firmware like the PS3. It is not a CFW by the way, it is just an exploit that give you access to the debug menu via homebrew enabler, treating the system like a dev kit. What the debug menu allow you to install games in pkg format. You can't run games with higher firmware requirements. The exploit disappeared every time you shut off the ps4, that you have to re-enable the hen, short for homebrew enabler.

Thanks for the info, that really helps!

Is this the same for all exploits for the PS4, even on 5.05?

Would be the same concept as previous exploits on lower firmware like 4.05, 4.55, and 5.05. I just wanted to point out to newcomers it is not a CFW, but an exploit, hopefully some people won't be mad to find out it is not exactly what they want.

Yea, I modded the PS3 way back in the day, so figured it was something similar. Still not a deal breaker to have to re-enable the exploit every time. But my question still stands, can I go get a PS4 Pro with a 6.72 FW and access the exploit? Looking to grab an old PS4 pro bundle, like RDR2.

Shouldn't be a problem, just the correct stuff need to be updated first, no eta though.

this type of stuff always makes me laugh

people are literally always wrong

This can't be hacked, that can't be hacked.

Doom and gloom.

Nowhere did I state anything like that. I said there won't probably be another webkit exploit above 6.7 for a while since is has been a lot more secure after 6.7. I also said another entrypoint not being a webkit exploit is even less unlikely since other ways are a million times harder to find not being a webkit entrypoint and it will be probably 2 years or so before we get one above 6.7. now how is that anything like " it can never be hacked " ?

This was never the issue in the ps3 scene days.

Uh, yes it was. This has been a running theme since the PSP. Where have you been? If you're unfamiliar, educate yourself on the woes and hard times of Frostgator. He was berated into victimhood by people wanting custom firmware for the PSP, but all he wanted people to recognize was that he was Jesus and that he was the holder of the secrets. Dirty pirates only wanted his righteous exploits, so he got on his soapbox and preached this sermon. If all people were going to do is beg, he was going to refuse to bestow us with his ingenious feats. Except, someone else eventually figured it out who didn't sniff their own farts and his claim to glory was shoved into the mud where it belongs. This exact same behavior made its way to the PS3 for years. So again, I dunno where you've been unless you just came into these scenes at the most opportune times; y'know, when news that benefits you and your needs makes the headlines.

My point is that the PS scene in the past has never been held back by bounty's or selling exploits for private usage thats why the PSP/Vita/PS3 had a new cfw literally popping out when there was a opportunity to update. But even so spoofing games satisfied most users. The ps3's only drama was against TrueBlue's dongle I can't speak on psp much only dev I heard about was Dark Alex, so I was probably 3 or 4 years late into the psp scene during 2010. There will always be devs like Frost in every scene who is either full of themselves or tries to limit cfw to combat piracy, but eventually that gets bypassed.

Is there chance FREEDVDBOOT by CTURT can be used as entry point for FW. 7.02?? This is a question?? Im not an expert.

answer will most likely be 'no', but cturt did say that it may be possible to use on different systems, it depends if that flaw had been fixed.
but in reality, who knows what flaws are lurking, there probably is some chain of events and hacks that would let you hack a ps4 with a special disk, just like wii was eventually hacked via bluetooth (wii mini), but finding all the flaws is almost impossible.

Just to extend, FreeDVDBoot still make the ps4 crash. Wether exploitable or not, that remains to be seen.

Yes, one of the developer posted that it is "Probably vulnerable, but it’s Userland with some more auth. And you need to deal with ASLR and It’s not easy." @TheoryWrong

Just probability but with Kernel Exploit on hands things might take a turn... Only DEV's has the answer.. We can only assume...

I dunno why these hackers don't just get a sonic screwdriver it would make things so much easier.
