Tutorial PS4 Phat/ Slim/ Pro Linux Loader 5.05: Manjaro Linux PS4 [v2]

[BataBo]

Same thing happend on my tv that did work
But some tvs do not support linux entirely,like my old tv.

Dear @Chreech,
everything is resolved
So here is tutorial on how to extend ps4linux partitions
For everyone who is unaware of this problem basically ps4linux partition is 14.54 GiB large which if you have 16GB usb wont be a problem but if you have 32gb,64gb,128gb... usb will because no matter how big is your usb linux partition will always be 14.54 GiB and the rest of usbs memory will be ullocated.

Here is how to fix it:

You will need:
Oracle virtualbox you can get it here

https://www.virtualbox.org

Fedora Image(I used fedora 28) you can get it here

https://getfedora.org

Tutorial:
1.Open virtualbox
2.Click on new

3.Click on expert mode

4.Name your virtual machine Fedora and give it half of your ram and click create

5.Dont touch anything here just click create

6.Now that yo have created your virtual machine click start

7.Click on little folder icon and select your fedora image

8.Select Test this media & start Fedora-Workstation-Live XX and click enter

9.Click on try fedora

10.Click on activities than nine dots than disks

11.Plug your usb than in virtualbox click devices>USB Devices>Select your usb that has my image installed
12.Click on partition labeled ps4linux click on button with 2 gears and click resize

13.Slide little circle to the end of the line

Thats it now you should have more space to install roms and games on your Manjaro v2 linux hope you found this tutorial useful

I need help, not really with the booting part of the thing. But my linux is awefully slow, like not even faster than my almost 20 yo pentium 4. I can barely move my cursor or type on the keyboard slow.

Specs:
Ps4 fat
usb3.0 hub
keyboard
mouse
usb hdd 3.0 1tb
this manjaro linux

PS: I had tried fedora linux when I was on 4.05 and had same lag, thought it was my usb 2.0, wasnt using the hub either (usb 2.0 and logitech wireless keyboard w/ trackpad)

Is it just my ps4 model that is semi compatible, i dont understand. I'd assume it has no correlation since a ps4 is a ps4 and my linux is up and running.

 

[BataBo]

Can you tell me read and write speed of your USB HDD

 

[Jessy]

Can you tell me read and write speed of your USB HDD

I dont have the box anymore, but when I transfer files it averages 50mb/s

Edit: this is what it looks like. Sorry about the video quality, my camera is pretty scratched up on my phone.

 

[BataBo]

Well try running psxita it has all drivers up to date so it should run faster

If it says that a file is corrupted don't worry it'll sitll work

2.Mount image onto usb
Open rufus

Under device select your usb
Next to "Create a bootable disk using" select dd image

Go to disk image next to "DD image" and select file that you extracted

Click start

Go get another burger this will take a while

3. Running linux on ps4

After image is mounted onto your usb plug it into your ps4

Before you send your exploit to ps4 make sure resolution is set to(720p or 1080p,it your resolution is set to 1080i it won't work)
to change resolution go to setting->Sound and Screen->Video output setting->Resolution

Now that you've set your resolution go to mod menu

Click original

When awaiting for payload... screen appears open NetCat gui

Type ip4 adress of your ps4,set your port to 9020,and drag ps4 linux loader below ip4 adress and above inject payload button

click inject payload

And wait

after this there are three possible outcomes:

if it turns blue violet blue it works
if it crashes your device you did not configure resolution so do that
if it turns solid white try again

3.Log in

This does not work on CUH2015a and CUH2015b

If you have usb stick with more than 16gb go to page 5

If you found this tutorial confusing this is my first time so don't jugde me.
If my pictures go offline notify me.
Would you like me to compile more linux images?

Thanks man. Very easy to use.
Everything works fine here.
Im using 16gb USB3 flash drive, it's just a little laggy while moving the mouse cursor.
Is it normal?

 

[BataBo]

It’s normal this whole linux thing is still WIP so it should lag a little

Any chance to use RPCS3?

 

[BataBo]

No,you cant run rpcs3 AT good framerate.
Sorry

 

[SCORPION]

Yea I've test it.
Even PCSX cant run PS1 ISOs at good frame rate.
Tanks anyway.

[rafiktt]

Thank you so much batabo!

@BatBo, thank you!
I haven't been able to run Linux after so much tries, but i fount your post and worked flawlessly on first try.
If it's not asking to much could you do a release of http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/ with Kodi v17.6 "Krypton" just to give it a try?

Best regards

BataBo Congratulations thanks for sharing, I have tried several times to start linux on CUH-7116B without success, does this package work?

do any of you all have the img file still ?

 

[rafiktt]

Nah don't worry someone will reupload it fast believe me
