/r/PS4Mods 2026 update: what’s allowed going forward (ask questions here)

14 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Sub’s been getting a lot more traffic lately so I figured it was time to update how we’re running things. Sticking this so it’s easy to find, but treat it like a discussion too. If something’s unclear, weird, or you think we’re missing a rule, say so in the comments.

Big change:
We used to keep this place pretty much visual/hardware only. Shells, paint, LEDs, that kind of thing. Going forward, software and firmware mods are fine too. Homebrew tools, themes, jailbreak discussion, internal upgrades, all good.

Still a PS4 modding sub. Show your work, ask questions, share guides. Cool.

Rules I’m thinking (open to feedback):

  1. PS4 mods only. Hardware or software. If it isn’t related to modding a PS4, it doesn’t belong here.

  2. No piracy. This one’s non-negotiable.

    • No links to games, dumps, FPKGs, ISOs, torrents, Mega folders full of games, etc.
    • No “where can I download X?”
    • No requesting copyrighted games.

    Talking about homebrew/tools/firmware is fine. Using the sub as a free game board is not. We’ll remove it and ban if needed.

  3. Show your work when you can. Photos/video for hardware posts help a lot. “Is this possible?” with zero detail is gonna get ignored or removed.

  4. Don’t be a dick. Basic Reddit stuff. No scams, no doxxing, no selling sketchy stolen/hacked accounts.

  5. Credit people. If you’re posting someone else’s mod/design, say so.

  6. Be careful. Mods can brick consoles or make a mess. You’re responsible for your own hardware. We’re not tech support for every possible disaster, but people here are usually helpful if you give decent info (model, firmware, what you already tried).

That’s the rough plan.

Curious what you all think. Anything you’d add, drop, or tighten up? Especially around software/firmware, since that’s the new part. Drop questions or suggestions below and I’ll reply as I can.

⏳ Xbox Server Queue Support

  • The app now handles Xbox server queues for up to 15 minutes.

Is buying a CUH-1004A worth it today?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

​

So I've found this great deal of a MODEL CUH-1004A of 12.00 fw with a broken replica controller for 15k bdt (equivalent to usd 121$ or UK 90£) ?

JB consoles are not cheap in Bangladesh & ones we find on the stores are overpriced ... Like they ask for a fat version 24k bdt (equivalent to usd 194$ or UK 145£)...

Buying from the general consumer/gamers from Facebook marketplace is easier ...

I got another ps4 slim for 17.5k (equivalent to usd 142$ or UK 106£)...

But I'm trying to minimize the cost as much as possible... As I need to buy a monitor next month also , for now I'll use a laptop screen with obs & HDMI to USB adapter to use the ps4...

My question is CUH - 1004A is the first generation launch ps4 fat version... Will it hold for a few more years of gaming?

Also the slim & fat runs the same game & same stuff... I don't really need the 5GHz wifi of the slim ... 2.4ghz is enough for me ... To JB & update the exploit/cheats ...

Should I go for the fat or hold off for buying the slim..?

Also as the GTA 6 is releasing on Nov 19th... I recon all the consoles price will hike again ... As people who can't play GTA 6 will move to playing GTA 5 in the meanwhile & what other device can run GTA 5 with better graphics & easy controller other than ps4 ?

PC market is another "the floor is lava" kinda thing in Bangladesh ... So RIP

P.S - I've shared the seller provided pictures of the console + the temp ss of the console after 10min of playing Witcher 3

Primeira vez com um vídeogame desbloqueado na vida!

2 Upvotes

Fala, pessoal! ​Recentemente comprei um PS4 que já veio desbloqueado, mas é a minha primeira vez com um console assim e confesso que estou bem perdido. Ele até veio com alguns jogos, mas não curti nenhum e agora não sei o que fazer. ​Não encontrei nenhuma "loja" instalada para baixar os jogos direto dele, e não faço a menor ideia de como funciona o processo para colocar jogos novos. A versão do meu sistema é a 13.04. ​Alguém consegue me dar uma luz de como começar? Queria saber o que preciso ter (pendrive, HD externo, PC?) e, principalmente, com o que preciso tomar cuidado e ficar atento para não fazer besteira e acabar estragando/brickando o videogame. ​Aceito qualquer dica, recomendação de guia ou explicação para iniciantes. Desde já, muito obrigado pela ajuda!

Backportear juegos de PS5??

Cómo alguien que solamente ve las aplicaciones que van saliendo y que no tiene casi idea de programar juegos en sí, tengo esta duda de si sería posible agarrar los juegos de play 5 que pasaron a PC o que están en PC (Ejemplos: Marvel Spiderman 2 y Dragón ball Sparking Zero) y hacerles un recomp desde el cual bajándole los gráficos y optimizándolos de alguna manera (?) funcionen en PS4

[Release] Xbox Controller Plugin v1.4.1 – Full Homebrew Navigation & On-Console Configurator Companion App (PKG)

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share the v1.4.1 update for Xbox Controller Plugin for PS4.

This plugin allows you to connect and use virtually any wired Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch (PDP), or standard XInput controller directly on your jailbroken PS4 console via USB — complete with full rumble/vibration, hotplug support, and Touchpad mapping.

What's New in v1.4.1

1. Full Homebrew Navigation Support

Previously, the plugin operated exclusively inside retail games. With v1.4.1, you can now use your Xbox controller to navigate through all your favorite homebrew apps and utilities.

Both the DualShock 4 and the Xbox controller work simultaneously in MERGE mode, and you can even navigate homebrews using the Xbox controller alone with your DualShock 4 completely turned off or disconnected.

2. Native On-Console Configurator App (Optional PKG)

Alongside the plugin, a dedicated companion homebrew app (xbox_controller_configurator.pkg) is now included to let you customize all settings directly on your TV without needing a PC or FTP text editor.

(Note: The companion app is 100% optional. The plugin works out of the box with zero setup required if you prefer default behavior).

Screenshots

​

​

​

Core Plugin Features

  • True Plug-and-Play Hotplug: Plug in or disconnect your Xbox controller at any time, even in the middle of gameplay or in the dashboard.
  • Touchpad Click Support: Press the central Xbox Guide button to immediately trigger a DualShock 4 Touchpad Click (instantly opening maps, inventories, and quest logs in games).
  • Haptic Vibration / Rumble: Full DualShock 4 motor vibration translated directly to Xbox large and small rumble motors.
  • Auto, Merge & Secondary Modes:
    • AUTO (Default): Selects Player 1 MERGE if 1 profile is logged in, or Player 2 SECONDARY if 2+ profiles are logged in.
    • MERGE (P1): Mirrors Xbox controller inputs into Player 1 alongside the DualShock 4.
    • SECONDARY (P2): Assigns the Xbox controller to Player 2 via a dedicated virtual handle for local split-screen co-op.
  • Zero Kernel Panics / Stability Focused: Clean dynamic hook isolation and strict daemon blacklisting to guarantee zero interference with system stability or USB drives.

Supported Controllers

  • Xbox One, Series X|S, Xbox 360 (Official wired USB)
  • Third-Party XInput Controllers (PowerA, Razer, PDP, 8BitDo, Hori, Mad Catz, etc.)
  • Nintendo Switch Controllers (PDP Rock Candy, Faceoff Pro, Wired Fight Pad Pro)

Download & Source Code

EDIT: v1.4.2 is out: https://github.com/ChiricoG/xbox_controller_plugin/releases/tag/v1.4.2

Installation:

  1. Copy xbox_controller.prx to /data/GoldHEN/plugins/ on your PS4.
  2. Enable it under [default] in /data/GoldHEN/plugins.ini:

[default]
/data/GoldHEN/plugins/xbox_controller.prx

  1. (Optional) Install xbox_controller_configurator.pkg via GoldHEN Package Installer if you wish to adjust settings on-console.

Feel free to open in Issue on GitHub if you find any unsupported controller or a bug.

🇩🇪Question about downloading large files for PS4 homebrew in Germany

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a jailbroken PS4 and I have a question for people living in Germany.

When downloading large files (30–50 GB or more) from file-hosting websites, the download can take a long time. I also want to understand the privacy and copyright risks involved.

About a year ago, I received an Abmahnung after using uTorrent to download a movie. Since then, I have been more careful about downloading files online.

I'd like to understand a few things:

Is downloading from a direct file-hosting website different from torrenting in terms of privacy and copyright risks?

What should people in Germany know about the legal risks of downloading copyrighted files?

Are there any recommended legal sources for downloading homebrew applications and other PS4-related files?

I'm not asking for links to copyrighted games. I just want to understand the risks better and learn from other people's experiences in Germany.

Thanks for your help!
