At the Chaos Communication Congress failoverflow showed us a Linux running on the PS4 with a special version of pokemon running on it. They didn’t talk about it like the 3DS hacking just a few slides and a video of it in action.
Now it’s hard to say what firmware they are using to do this with but if I had to guess I would say 1.76Fw as we know it has the WebKit exploit in it but they use the PS4 user guide as their entry point. Thanks to biteyourconsole they recorded this for everyone to see, you can check out the short video below.
elegost This isnt even cool just buy a computer or hell even an iPhone could do this theres no point in emulating old homebrew from early 2000s on a ps4 when my PSP could do this get it to play burnt PS4 games and that would be pretty cool! until they patch it.
It's not about it being "cool". It's about what this could lead to. It's a small step towards a bigger picture.

lolohnoeszsz People need to stop trying to hack current gen systems. Eventually you'll get that one asshat who leaks everything and suddenly we are dealing with mods and all that or shit nobody liked on last gen.
says the person posting on a website that was practically created for mw2 modding
TTG wasn't created for mods. The site holds use for all things I stopped giving two shits about mods back in 2011. I only come here for grouping up with players for certain games or to see what's new.
If you come here looking for mods you are scum plain and simple.
TTG was actually created for mods but i will say a lot has changed since then, it's not as heavy on mods as it once was.
Linux on PS4 could work with the latest firmware according to Fail0verflow, they also said Steam on PS4 is possible, don't think i'll update my PS4 system because of this news, just hoping it'll work with the latest firmware.
its not about the pokemon lol. respect to fail0verflow, I don't recall how long it took for console hacks to become prominent during the last gen, but it seems that it might come soon on this gen
