PlayStation 4 Linux Running on 4.50 Beta, Seeking Old Phat PS4 Tester
Since the
last update I got all your messages and I have been looking at them, what I need is a way to get a hold of you outside of the site. So send me an email for you to me in the pm. We are still looking for someone to help with this.
I got more details and testing is needed for the old PS4 "phat" system on
Firmware Beta 4.50. If it isn't on 4.50 Beta, there isn't a need for the others at this time. Here's what is going to be needed of the person that we choose.
First and foremost is that this person will not be able to talk about what goes on with this test to anyone. You won't be able to post pictures of it on any account that you have. This is a must if we want this to pan out to anything other then a test.
We are hoping that it won't be changed and it will still be there when they release 4.50 to the public. As I can't give out to many details as to what it is going to do but I will say from what I was told in the chat is that they have
Linux running on
Beta 4.50. We want to see if the same can be done on the "phat" PS4 systems.
Now what will be needed from this person. There is a couple of things that will be needed. 1st we will send you a device that has to be soldered onto the system, this will be done in 14 wires that is soldered onto the machine and then hooked to a USB cable to a computer.
We will also send you a program in python that has to be ran on the computer during this test. It will then run and will make a log file for that program on your computer and then you take and send that log file to the email we provide and that is about it.
We are also offering more as well then just this. This is an offer also to join the team and help with more testing. This is access to our private server and being able to chat with the team and help with it where you can. That's why it's important that someone know one of 2 things.
First being, programming is always a good thing. The next is that if the person doesn't really have a knowledge of this then it would be great for them to know hardware. With most people don't know is that it takes 2 types of people the hack a system, one being the programmer and the other being the person into the hardware. Without the 2 it won't happen.
What's the risk, well for short it could brick the system at some time. Also someone can mess the system up while soldering to it. If the test goes good from there then we will ask you to install
Linux onto the system and then you will be able to mess around with that for the time being.
Most everyone knows that once you get Linux onto a system, the next step is
backups to run onto it. You can't install Linux without access to the system.
In closing if you have the knowledge and want to do this and thing you can help. If you don't mind the risk of damaging your system then please let me know. I will take what EVERYONE tells me to the group and we all the decide on someone maybe maybe 2 people. Thanks all.
Also with the private server, there will also be other information that this person will have access to. There will be a lot information about the Wii U, and the Xbox one on there. As we are working on these systems along with the PS4. So none of what is on there can be shared to anyone outside of the site. Thanks./
