Hello, all and welcome to some exciting news considering Homebrew and the PS4! As we all know its an exciting time for PS4 owners as new breakthroughs and hacks seeming to pop up like weekly!! But this time its not really hacking releated so we figured it might be nice to mention and clearing the air about it.
It turns out that @SorenAlke has brought us his own PoC using simple Javascript to play emulators on PS4 firmware’s 3.15 -3.50! Note: This is no hack but a quite popular way of playing webgames. However its still a cool thing having this working on an actual PS4 and being a nice project of course! Good work!
Here is what he had to say about it:
- The PoC goes to @SorenAlke
- Credits to the GitHub Source Page for download go to by Ben FirshMan
- Ben FirshMan, jsnes, dev,+ORC ,+HCU rest in peace +FRAVIA,deank,linus torvalds,dennis ritchie,ken thompson,bjarne strosup,fail0verflow
- Credits to first two public testers: @B7U3 C50SS for 3.50 and @DotExE01 for 3.15
- As per personal message from @SorenAlke these are the people he’d like to be credited because of their contributions.
- And finally, none of this would have been possible if it weren’t for Ben FirshMan & his code linked above.
- The ROM for using on the webkit – download HERE just drop inside of xampp inside path: C:\xampp\htdocs\jsnes-master\local-roms
- then navigate to it on PS4 web browser.
You can download setup’s for xampp on Linux, Mac, and Windows, PC’s HERE
- Alternatively, you can use pasha4ur’s SITE to access the Emulator PoC
