Finishing up ​

And you're done! If this guide was helpful, you can star it on GitHub and share it!

Now go forth, spread misinformation online.

TIP

I highly recommend continuing to the "Post Installation" setup, to change language and download more RAM!

NOTE

For any problems, check the issues page!

Kernel developers ​

These are the original kernel developers, who did the hard work to port the kernels on which all of the modern kernels are based on. None of this would've been possible without them.

  • 4.4 kernel
    • marcan, fail0verflow team
  • 4.14 kernel
    • rancido, and psxitateam, eeply, valery for Baikal (based on fail0verflow)
  • 4.19 and 5.3 kernel
    • mircoho, (based on fail0verflow, psxitateam, eeply, valeryy)
  • 5.15 kernel
    • codedwrench (based on fail0verflow, psxitateam, eeply, valeryy, mircoho)
  • 6.15 kernel
    • crashniels with 2 patches from mircoho (fastboot and ethernet kp fixes) (based on fail0verflow - psxitateam - eeply - valeryy - mircoho - codedwrench)

If you want, you can check out their repos:

  • marcan (fail0verflow)
    • Without them nothing would've ever been possible.
  • rancido (psxitateam)
    • Made the AMDGPU driver work.
  • eeply
    • Brought PS4 Pro to work for video output, in fact now all ps4 with new Panasonic HDMI chip work.
  • valeryy (no GitHub, gave the code to rancido)
    • Brought the Baikal Southbridge support.
  • tihmstar
    • Brought the Internal SATA driver for PS4 Belize.
  • mircoho (ps4gentoo and ps4boot)
    • Worked on the kernel (especially Gentoo), ported payloads to newer firmwares.
  • codedwrench
    • Made kernel patches.
  • crashniels
    • Ported newer kernel versions.
  • feeRnt (Package)
