Can I connect 2 ps4 consoles with CFW for 2 person play

Maximo101 · Sep 21, 2022

Can I physically connect 2 ps4 consoles with CFW to each other to let 2 people play the same game on 2 tv's? I seem to remember the ps2 or ps3 allowing this? Maybe with a CAT cable, or linked together by wifi?

The 2 ps4's have 7.55 and 5.05 on them.

Thanks for any answers!

ethernet cable is probably for a system transfer without going wireless. that's how it is with the ps3. other than that, I've personally never heard of this.

I think what you are looking for is something like this

But given that only a small handful of games support it, it may not be worth the headache that it looks to be.

there are some games that have LAN multiplayer, for example: Diablo 3. But if the game requires ps+ won't work.

Thanks for the responses.

I remember a commercial or tv gaming show where some FPS was running on two consoles simultaneously with two TV's. I could swear they were wired together, cause it was so long ago, high speed wifi wasn't available... I remember they were making a big deal of no split screen, each screen was full view.
Can't remember the game they were playing, Doom maybe or COD or MGS?

Thanks MicroNut!
That is a pretty impressive list.
I might try to see if I can get two hacked ps4's to play together COD.
This will be interesting.
If a ps4 does it, the ps4 pro must also allow this?

Is anyone here old enough to remember playing games on the awesome Atari 2600?
When it came out...
Pitfall, Asteroids, space invaders...
I ruined 3 joysticks.

Yes. I got one for Christmas when they first came out.
There was a junk yard near my house that had a large mountain of scrapped Atari joysticks.
Me and my friends would sneak in and steal a bunch of them to make our own.
Eventually I ended up using a quarter on the flat board of the Atari PCB as a very early d-pad.
Punching the fire button was much easier but the quarter would often slip.

Cool.
You'll still need to use something like Hamachi to replace the PSN by creating your own local network host for the game.
Computers are fun!

Check this out:

I have to try that. Where to get a good copy of Hamachi for the ps4?

I can try it I guess, does this work on lower FW? Like 7.55?

And then to be sure, you STILL need one of the LAN enabled games from the list above to make this work.

Have you ever seen a portable pc like this one?

I wanted as portable way to play higher-end pc games on the fly. The $$ is pretty steep for the unit,m though.

I didn't exist when it first came out, but it was around a long time, I played on my neighbour's in the mid '80s

I've only recently read about this monster. I think I skipped after looking at the price.

I am still happy with my Vita which I really use as a super powered psp... Vita games are ok.

Maximo101 · Sep 25, 2022

I also love the vita. got a vitatv, which is great for quick gaming. No boot up. And surprisingly nice graphics for what it is. Especially hacked with a thumb drive full of games. works great with the ps4 controller too.
