Just got a CUH-7015b PS4 Pro from Target. 4.55 firmware :cool:


Isn't Ferrox a type of cfw? This stuff is confusing. I switched to Ferrox Cobra because webman is so much better but I find things refuse to load regularly

Yeah. For some reason the old flash exploit only let you install a particular cfw (ferrox) so if you wanted rebug or something you would have to install ferrox first, then install rebug.

I'm using rebug 4.82 lite with webman. The only time I've had a game not load so far was during an ftp transfer so maybe that's the problem?

No it definitely wasn't during an FTP transfer. I will just get a black screen a decent amount of the time when trying to load MultiMan (which I still use to rip games since WebMan cannot) and I never had that happen on ReBug. Could it be something about the weird way WebMan has to delay loading USB info? It takes a good minute or two before my list of games will show up in WebMan (but they show up immediately in MultiMan).

Sony made the ps4's only game free on ps+ this month to discourage piracy while they fix the firmware.

I haven't tried loading games from USB yet. I have noticed that webman keeps an xml list of games so maybe building that takes awhile reading from USB if you add hundreds of games at once?

I didn't add a bunch of games (maybe 1 tops) so I am guessing this Cobra firmware polls USB drives differently somehow. I think what I have to do is turn on the PS3 and wait a good minute or two before doing anything. Kind of weird.

Is this the exact firmware you are using? http://www.psx-place.com/threads/ferrox-4-82-v1-01-cobra-7-55-by-alexander.15724/

Yeah to be honest this hacking of the PS4 kinda sucks. I bought a PS4 VR with Doom VR and I bought Secret of Mana (physical version) and I can't play either one because they want to update my firmware.

And you cannot spoof the firmware on the PS4, from what I am reading. So I am stuck only playing games that require 4.55 or lower, which are zero games that I have right now lol. I can't do anything with it.

The Vita is the same way; I am stuck on an old firmware and can't play newer stuff like Romancing Saga 2 or Secret of Mana. There's no way to spoof the Vita into letting you player newer games. Kinda amazing to me that I can play SNES games on the Vita and install a fake PSP OS but I can't fake a firmware version lol

Just a small update: I switched from webman to sman and it was the best decision ever. Games load instantly now. Consider making the switch, to sman!

Nice. I installed a 1tb internal drive and have been sending games to that over ftp with webman and havent had any problems (as long as a transfer isn’t in progress.) Have you played around with any fan control settings? I have a cecha01 that I would like to run cooler than it does but I’m wary about changing those...

What kind of things were you doing on psn? I heard certain games scan the hdd for folders associated with cfw and report you to Sony.

I left myself logged in while doing stuff in retroarch, playing ps2 games and metal gear online. Probably should have got some of those stealth patches or at least logged out but, still

just looked it up .. you can do ps1, 2, and psp games. but ps2 games are hard cos theres a 4gb file limit, i guess you need to download them through the ps3 browser or something. either way ill wait for a bunch of ppl to brick their consoles and learn from their mistakes

The 4gb limit is bc of the filesystem you have to use on the USB drive. There's also an app called Package Link where you run a program in the same folder as your games and it streams them to the PS3 bypassing this limitation and it's overall easier too. I'm loading God of War II right now which is over 8gb we'll see if it works
