the PS4 can be jailbroken with a €4 disc from aliexpress nowadays, and it has a great catalog of games. slap a 1tb external hdd on it, download games from archive.org, presto
Why disc? Been few years since I used my PS4, but I remember jailbreaking it as long as you are on the correct firmware was as simple as caching a website offline and bookmarking it to run the exploit whenever you turned on the PS4.
exploits are getting fixed over time 🤷♂️ check out modded warfare on youtube if you want to learn more
I haven't kept up, since the exclusives I wanted to play worked on the low firmware and new ones stopped coming out and later ones like Ghost of Tsushima ended up coming to PC.
Last I remember is higher ones than mine requiring a usb stick.
I guess higher firmware requiring bluray now isn't any more strange than the RCM jig method on older Nintendo Switches. Now that was an excellent solid jailbreak experience being able to install custom firmware.
Intriguing....
this will do the trick, scroll down to the product recommendations and you might find an even cheaper listing
Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into...
(although, how do we know if it's got malware on it?)
you can also burn it yourself if you have a bluray burner, the software the aliexpress discs use is freely available (search for "goldhen")
Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn't work.
We don't have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.
Shoot, apparently it's not open source. That's not confidence-inspiring... but then again PS3 CFWs weren't either (*sighs*)
Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can't remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it's new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.
it works up to firmware 12.52, if you haven't updated for a couple of months it should be fine
Oooh lovely!! We're uh, pre-12.5 I think.
A DVD won't work, right, it's gotta be a bluray? Because if we can do this with a DVD-R and not need another reader, that'd be great.
nope it has to be BD. honestly just get it from aliexpress, a BD burner is €100+, not really worth it to buy one for single use
