I used ubuntu 20.04 via wsl2 to...
With the build.sh script, the error is not quite the same. On the end...

Code:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/mnt/c/PS5SDK/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/mnt/c/PS5SDK/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory
storm@StormMobile-PC:/mnt/c/PS5SDK$

I'll try that with the linux path. But I think it's up to ninja because the folder isn't found.

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

did you install build-ninja? should be sudo apt install build-ninja .

it may be build-ninja-dev, but I think it's the first one. after that, type ninja into the box of some random folder to see if it acts like ninja is installed.

btw, run sudo apt update first.

also, btw, using something from windows in linux will likely mess something up, especially with cmake, because that's how it knows which os you're using. like the ps5 unpacker I built--to make an exe of it, you need to run cmake in windows; to make a linux version, run cmake in linux.

@godreborn
I have made sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
then sudo apt install ninja-build
then ninja to test also gives me this error

Code:

storm@StormMobile-PC:/mnt/c/PS5SDK$ ninja
ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

Uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing again...
sudo apt-get remove ninja-build
sudo apt install ninja-build

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

I think that's right, because there's no ninja-build in that location. it looks like you did it correctly. you have to do the first command. it will create the file (build-ninja). or, you could try the build.sh, which should be the commands without having to type them.

btw, to have direct access over the linux drive, type this into the search window: \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04

map that drive for easy access.

This gives me an error: No access or wrong address

Tried via Linux folder:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PS5Dev/PS5SDK.git PS5SDK

Then in .bashrc:
export PS5SDK=/home/storm/PS5SDK
export PS5SDK_FW=0x403

Build attempt:
cd PS5SDK
bash build.sh

The same error comes up, unfortunately... I give up for today. What else I see you have clang v10, I have v14. I can't install clang v10. Thank you for your help!

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

your stuff looks right. maybe open an issue on github. if you don't have a github account, I could post it for you.

edit: btw, the only reason I have clang-10 really is for compiling super mario 64 for the ps4. it has issues on higher versions (either it won't compile or the ps4 errors at opening the game).

Keep testing... Otherwise maybe Github issue or in Discord...
Yes, my github has a few releases, but I always struggle with Linux. I'd rather write code than mess with the SDKs.

compiling stuff is a big pita, especially when there errors that you have no idea how to solve, even with a google search. almost everything I build is ubuntu 20.04, debian, or msys. I can build quite a bit in cmd line as well, in windows. you could try installing clang 10, just remove the clang that's on the system first, which iirc, is sudo apt remove clang . you might have to use a deb file dpkg -i name of deb.deb (no spaces on the actual file) or there's a way to download specific versions of apps, but I can't recall the command. it's like sudo apt install clang=10 or something like that. to know if installed correctly, type clang --version.

Storm21 · Nov 1, 2022

@godreborn
Already tried: clang-10 is not available in 20.04, Can't find the package...

But I got it! I found the solution on Discord... Important and needed!: :grog:

sudo apt install lld

Now do it again via PS5SDK=/mnt/c/PS5SDK because I then have better folder access. Unfortunately the command \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04 doesn't work for me. And then I have to test the payload...

For the Switch I also do everything via CMD and Devkit. Very easy... But I also have the PS4 OpenOrbis running via 20.04. and BDJSDK

Hope this helps others too!!!

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

did you type that command in the address bar of my computer? I'm not sure if it works for both wsl1 or just 2.

btw, type this in to see your linux hdds:

Storm21 · Nov 1, 2022

@godreborn Yes Explorer Bar and Windows Search... wsl$ opens Firefox with Server not found.

But it also works on C:\PS5SDK now...

I guess it doesn't matter then, as long as it works. were you able to compile the examples? I'm not sure what any of them do, but I think the elfs are sent to the machine using that elf loader. I originally built the elf for decrypting ps5 update pups, so I know that there's a bin loader type thing but with elf files.

Yes example building are ok.
Correct! Payloads are sent via netcatgui via Webkit, same as PS4, just .elf files.

Now that it works, I'm a little further and can get to the payload source... Here's a test payload, only prints a Hello World notification. Tested on PS5 4.03. :grog:

Thank you @godreborn again for helping!

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

is that what the hello_socket is? I'm not involved with the ps5 scene, but I will build stuff for it, since I've become very good at doing so.

Storm21 · Nov 1, 2022

@godreborn
No, an own payload, just written... But I used a sample as source. The hello_socket goes over the network and sends a hello world. I have integrated the print notification function. Then a "Hello World" notification displayed on the PS5. It is for displaying information on the screen.

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

I still don't understand what's different, lol. they both display hello world?

Storm21 · Nov 1, 2022

Yes but...

The hello_socket sends the "Hello World" to the PC from the PS5 via network.
It's in the readme...
Contains example code to open a socket to the TCP server hosted on the PC side and sends a message.

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

so you mean it's the opposite of sending hello world to the ps5 itself?

Storm21 · Nov 1, 2022

Opposite not... But it's not the same. Mine gives a message on the PS5 like the payloads on the PS4. Such as Hen loaded, ftp running on... etc.
And the hello_socket shows on the PC where a server is running, as in CMD. I can't explain it otherwise. I hope you understand what i mean.

godreborn · Nov 1, 2022

where is this hello world thing to try? the one that appears on the ps5. you did add the PS5SDK_FW= correct? I didn't do that originally and stuff was still built.
