Easy Installation

Storage

  • Use FTP to upload patch files to:
    • /user/data/GoldHEN/patches/xml/
  • Naming conversion for app and patch engine to recognize: (TitleID).{format}
    • e.g. CUSA00001.xml
    • e.g. CUSA03694.xml

Developing patches

Plugin system and GoldHEN Cheat Manager looks for patches by (TitleID).{format}. (this is automatically generated from a python script using app_titleid key when downloading/updating)
You may edit the individual file for your Title ID or edit the base file and upload it to your PS4 as (TitleID).{format}.

export PS4_IP=192.168.1.138 # your PS4 ip address
export PS4_FTP_PORT=2121 # your PS4 ftp port (2121 via GoldHEN payload)
# sending base file as CUSA00000.xml
curl -T ExampleGame.xml ftp://$PS4_IP:$PS4_FTP_PORT/data/GoldHEN/patches/json/CUSA00000.xml
# sending CUSA00000.xml as CUSA00000.xml
curl -T CUSA00000.xml ftp://$PS4_IP:$PS4_FTP_PORT/data/GoldHEN/patches/json/CUSA00000.xml
  • Repository naming conversion for single or multiple games: GameName.{format} (English names only)
    • e.g. ExampleGame.xml

Creating a patch

Set base address to 0x00400000 when importing binaries for consistency with PS4 memory address. (ASLR disabled)

Submission Guidelines

  • Patch must be named GameTitle.json and be in /patches/json.
    For example, a patch file for Gravity Rush 2 must be called GravityRush2.json.
  • If you are making a patch for a game that already has a file, then add to it.
  • Submitting patches:
    • No whitespace.
    • Lowercase hex for address/value hex, uppercase for Title ID.
