Hacking [RELEASE] PS4 Gentoo by mircoho

[ploggy]

I can’t imagine that not having retroarch has to do with the kernal. I think that has to do with linux image used i used the google drive image. I imagine that you used the mega link? Not sure.

Yes, I used the Mega link.. I assumed the Gdrive was just a mirror. I didn't think there were any differences between the 2.

I am a little bit confused.

Do I have to load Gentoo first before I do this ---> Linux USB for this payload you need a USB Stick for Boot into Rescue / Shell
- load the initramfs.cpio.gz & bzimage (kernel) from the FAT32 USB / HDD Partition????

???

Ok I tried the Gdrive link just for fun and it is indeed different. I think it should be outlined more that it's different from the Mega link.

amazing project. this is what the homebrew scene is all about.

Well.. aside from the fact that the "ps4 homebrew scene" is limited to those with a low enough firmwre.
Bummer.

in the homebrew scene you always have to be patience and see the bigger picture.

when/if we do get kernel hack on higher firmware. this can be ported too.

Do I have to clear cache first ? And 5.3.7++ or 5.3.7 ?

You are right. It's working! Thanks!

And Telegram wants to create phone number by put my phone number or something.. I don't want to. I want to download PS2 emulator and etc to test for fun. How? By going to terminal and use SUDO alt etc to download them ?

There should be a PS2 emu "built in" to Emustation, I never used it but it should just be a matter of placing the PS2 Iso in the correct directory? dunno about the telegram thing.

Makes sense to me because it is LINUX ! Yeah. Thanks.

 

[spotanjo3]

I shut it down and load it back up and there is no connect. And this time wifi won't connect either. Please report about the Wifi issues.
