So, recently ps4 consoles have been going for decent prices and I’ve been wondering if getting one to hack is practical and/or possible. Mainly to pirate games. Is this possible? Where else can I ask?

I’ve been looking into this recently, it’s possible for both base and pro models if they’re under firmware version 9.0, anything above that is not yet exploitable, plus it’s a softmod so it’s a straightforward process, although it’s not persistent across reboots so it’s most convenient to leave it in sleep mode rather than power off. I think psx-place is one of the big forums for these things, but all the information is pretty readily available around the place. Good luck with it!
Edit: Turns out a kernel exploit for firmware up to and including 11.00 was released on April 30th, however no one has yet made a jailbreak for it. So while it will be jailbroken soon, currently only up to 9.00 is supported.
Oki, thank you.
So basically no persistence? Would have to jb every reboot?
I believe so, I don’t think it’s a very involved process, but it requires plugging in a USB drive at a certain point during boot. Some people have automated it with an arduino, but from what I can tell as long as the machine stays on stand by you don’t need to re-jailbreak it.
It’s that easy?
I have a ps4 on 9.0. Really easy to jailbreak. Modded Warfare on YouTube has really good vidoe on how to do it.
