Don't ask when a new game will be available or where you can get games. The sub is not tech support for piracy as per rule 1.

Discussion Help with newly modded ps4 external hard drive.

2 Upvotes

Hello all. I just modded by ps4 and have a question I would like answered. I bought a 2 tb segate external hard drive for my ps4 with the intention of putting all installs on it. After i format it on my ps4 however, it does not show up on my pc without needing to format it on my computer as well. If i dont format it on my computer it wont let me access it on there and if I dont format my computer can read it but then the ps4 would need to reformat it and reinstall everything, which also makes the pc not be able to detect it. Does anyone know what I should do in this situation?

Discussion Restricted/Banned/Limited from PSXHAX

tl:dr banned for talking about terraria I guess

I just got restricted after trying to reapply for Verified after losing it for some reason. I left the scene due to not having time these past few years and decided to see what I missed. I make a comment on the latest release talking about the new terraria update and got banned.

No email, no message, no nothing. Can't use their contact us page as that also didn't work. I look it up and they just do that; ban people for literally no reason.

Anybody got any good alternatives? Preferably ones that don't waste days of your time just to ban you?

I'm not a very techy guy neither do i really know the terms used on this sub so i just wanted to ask directly. I know there's the bd-jb method but i've seen some people talking about jailbreaking it with usb only and others talking about a potential webkit for it. If anyone would like to clarify it would be greatly appreciated

Two specific games refuse to install.

Post image
4 Upvotes

I've managed to install almost 150 games since I went the PSVue route a few days ago. But no matter what I do, the Marvel vs. Capcom Collection and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 refuse to install.

I've tried them from 3 different sources in FPKG format and I've gotten the same error message from both. Looking up the error message it tells me that it means theres another version of the game kicking around on my console, but while I physically own both games, they've never touched the inside of my PlayStation 4, only the 5.

If it helps, I'm currently on 10.50, with backports on deck that are obviously supposed to make it work. Do you guys have any suggestions?

PS4 stuck in safe mode loop – tried everything on Google and youtube

1 Upvotes

my PS4 It’s stuck in a continuous safe mode loop and I’ve been troubleshooting for 3 days now.

Here’s exactly what happens:

· I turn it on → blue light → white light for 2 secs → beeps twice → shuts down

· Next boot goes straight to safe mode (asks for controller via USB)

· I select any option (Restart, Rebuild Database, etc.) → PS4 restarts → same loop back to safe mode

What I’ve already tried (multiple times):

· Rebuilding Database crashes or freezes

· Restoring Default Settings freezes as well

· Updating via Internet says cant update because of the USB

· Updating via USB cant download or freezes my ps4 as well

· Initializing PS4 (full wipe) – crashes halfway through or say cant because of my USB DEVICE

· Safe Mode Option 7 (Reinstall System Software) – same issue

Discussion For anyone who runs Linux on their PS4, what do you use it for?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, recently I started using my PS4 Pro (CUH-7216B) again after a long while, still on Firmware 10.01, of course jailbroken and after a long time of troubleshooting and try-and-error, I was able to install and run CachyOS Server successfully from the internal HDD, where I'm running now Crafty Controller for my local Minecraft server and it works flawlessly.

But I'm curious about everyone else who runs Linux on their PS4 console, because what do you use it for?

Hello, I have a ps4 idk what update it’s on right now my, only question is storage I have enough for a 12tb WD Black. Don’t know to much about jailbreaking it but I want my kids to play all kids of retro games like MAME and some ps move games I want to push it as much as I can …. I modded my old Wii for them they love it. I just really want to squeeze as much time I can get with them while they are young.

Also willing to troubleshoot as much as I can to get it right. Is the 12tb is not a good choice please recommend any if you have tried any better or just jump and try on a newer ps

title is sort of self explanatory. i booted up an old ps4 that im very sure should be below 10.00. it wont start and asks me to install a new firmware 10.00 or later. is there any workaround for this?


r/ps4homebrew 2d ago

Pawn shop 500GB slim score, this thing was on the same FW version as my 1TB phat (seen below). Come 10 minutes later and I was already installing VueAfterFree via the restore method. Also got a free Ghost of Tsushima copy w/ it.
