v1.0.4

EmuFive 1.0.4

• Fixed: Software update in Settings did not start ("The update did not start.") (#16).
• Fixed: with EmuFive installed on a USB drive, games on a second USB drive were not found (#15).

Updating from 1.0.3 or earlier

The old Software update cannot start, so start this update once by hand:

1. In EmuFive, turn on SSH login in Settings and connect the PS4 to the internet.
2. From a PC on the same network: ssh ps5@<PS4 address> (password ps5 unless you changed it).
3. Run:

   sudo systemd-run --unit=emufive-update --collect /opt/ps5-on-ps4/bin/ps5-update install

4. Wait a few minutes, then restart from the home screen.

It installs every update you are missing (from 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 that includes 1.0.2's browser packages, about 110 MB). From 1.0.4 on, Software update in Settings works.

New installs

ps5-ps4-rootfs.tar.xz below has 1.0.4 built in (install steps in the README).

v1.0.3

EmuFive 1.0.3

• Fixed: with EmuFive installed on the PS4 drive, the PS4 drive was not mounted, so games in /user/home/PS5 did not show up (#7).

To update: Settings, System, Software update. The PS4 drive's games show up right after it, no restart needed. From 1.0.0 or 1.0.1, the update installs 1.0.2 first (its browser packages are about 110 MB, and the PS4 restarts after it).

New installs: ps5-ps4-rootfs.tar.xz below has 1.0.3 built in (install steps in the README).

v1.0.2

EmuFive 1.0.2

• New: Internet, a web browser on the home screen, used with the controller. The left stick or the touchpad moves the pointer and X clicks, the right stick scrolls, Triangle types an address or a search, and OPTIONS opens the menu (bookmarks, zoom, search engine, mobile sites). The PS button goes back to the home screen.
• Fixed: a USB drive pulled out while a game still had a file open was not mounted when it was plugged in again, so its games were not listed until the PS4 restarted.

To update: Settings, System, Software update. This update downloads the browser's packages from Debian, about 110 MB, so it takes a few minutes. The PS4 restarts after it (it asks first).

New installs: ps5-ps4-rootfs.tar.xz with PS4 Multiboot.

v1.0.1

EmuFive 1.0.1

• EmuFive 1.0.1: Hollow Knight: Silksong runs on the PS4 Pro
• KytyPS5: short PS4 CPU sites jump through a relay (patch 0007)
• KytyPS5: no conditional rendering on the PS4's GPUs (patch 0006)

v1.0.0

EmuFive 1.0.0

The first release of EmuFive: PS5 games on a jailbroken PS4, based on the KytyPS5 PS5 emulator, built for the PS4's CPU, with Linux and the PS4's own GPU through Vulkan.

Experimental. On a PS4 Pro, "Sons of Sparta" runs at about 40 FPS and more. Other games are still being tested, and many are slow for now.

What's in it

• A home screen made for the controller, no keyboard needed: games from a USB drive, the PS4's own drive or a PC's shared folder.
• The PS button menu during a game: resume, go home with the game paused, close it, volume, power.
• Screenshots (PS + Square, or Share), with a QR code to open them on a phone.
• Profiles with their own saves, trophies and play time.
• Settings for appearance, controllers (light bar, vibration, button test), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound, date and time, and 8 menu languages.
• Software update in Settings, System: new versions install from this page, with roll back.
• A quiet start and shutdown, with the EmuFive screen instead of a black screen or text.
• Built for big TVs: smooth edges at 1080p.

Install

Needs a jailbroken PS4 with GoldHEN and PS4 Multiboot.

1. Copy the PS4 Multiboot files (bzImage, initramfs.cpio.gz, bootargs.txt to /data/linux/boot/, and linux-2048mb.bin to /data/payloads/).
2. Copy ps5-ps4-rootfs.tar.xz from this release to /user/home/. Keep its name.
3. Run linux-2048mb.bin from GoldHEN, then pick EmuFive and Install to PS4 or Install to USB drive.

The full steps are in the README.
