Emulator on PS4: Gameboy emulator running on the PS4, source code released
After a stream of releases, developer CTurt just announced he ported Cinoop, his very own gameboy emulator, to the PS4.
Not so long ago, CTurt announced he had gained code execution on the PS4. He then released a simple pong game for the PS4, and also announced he was working on a homebrew loader. With a gameboy emulator released just a few days after these statements, he’s making progress fast, it seems.
CTurt had initially announced he would reverse engineer the graphics library on the PS4 in order to run his homebrew loader. It seems he has taken a shortcut as this is running through a HTML canvas. In other words, the PS4 does the processing job, and the rendering goes through webkit, which means the graphics lib was not used. Impressive nonetheless.
Just like for the Pong game, CTurt is controlling the homebrew through a Nintendo DS, as hackers do not have access to the Dulashock controllers through the hack yet.
Before you all get super excited, keep in mind that this is running through the Webkit exploit on PS4 firmware 1.76. Are you on firmware 1.76 or below? Yeah, I didn’t think so. This is some exciting news, but nothing that directly benefits the end user at this point, or that leads us to some full PS4 Jailbreak. It’s still awesome to see some progress.

Still impressive
Home brew is much better than a jail broken device. At least with hoke brew devs won’t drop support for the ps4! Cturt is amazing! I hope to see a lot of progress from this guy.
Great news! let’s hope someone from ps4 scene would be interested with cturt’s work since he released his sdk in public..
I still remember TN on hbl for 6.20 psp 3000 it started with simple things..
first 😀

Yayyyy First!

ooooo cant forget you!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXzUcqQM8qw
This is pretty cool. I am curious why he chose to use the webkit instead of the graphics library? Less security maybe?
Great, this night I will install it. Thank you so much cturt. I see your code and I’m learning so much with your work.
sweet deal! keep up the good work
Well… I kept one of my ps4 in 1.76 … so I can try the homebrews…. 🙂
I want to let you all know that i never upgraded the ps4s i have they Are still on day 1 stock firmware so yes there are people waiting for a exploit to commemorate geohotz exploit from the ps3 golden days.
First
Excellent.
It a good thing I have two PS4 one on the latest and the other one on 1.75. So yes wololo I am on firmware 1.76 or below.
Just bought my PS4 from a guy and it’s on 2.55 ofw ='(
How do they test for exploit? would there any chance for newer firmware to be tested if they have vulnerabilities?
Now I don’t know if I should update my firmware to 2.57.
I got my PS4 yesterday, and it was on 2.07, or around there. Sadly, I had to update to 2.57 to go online, but at least if there’s even an exploit for fw between 2.57 and 2.07, and there’s a way to downgrade, I can do that. Personally, the only reason I want a jailbroken PS4 is to have free PS+, as well as for trophy hacking purposes. If I want to mod games, I’d go on my PS3. Same with Vita; only care about trophy hacking.
So glad I haven’t even powered on my day 1 launch PS4! It’s been sitting in the box in my closet all this time. I knew/know the day will come when I can use it the way I want to.
I have two ps4 one is on 1.76 for this reason I knew that things will get better I’m still patients waiting for that hack to come out and I’m jumping on it after a update come
@Trapstar30 can you please check if the internet browser open on your 1.76 ps4 ? otherwise your console is useless like mine for that exploit because it’s not possible to activate the network features.
Is Cturt the next Dark Alex for PS4?
I hope so
I’m still rocking the release ps4. Haven’t even un boxed it yet.Getting excited
I’m on 1.76…. Js
Thanks for the article. Just want to inform all folks who live outside US that PS4 is a great media Player. If you want to access Netflix and other streaming stations on your PS4 you can use UnoTelly as I do to get around the geo block.
