PS4 Internal PKG Installer

ps4-ipi

PS4 IPI, short for Internal PKG Installer, is a PlayStation 4 utility homebrew app which will install PKG files from the HDD, making it possible to install PKG files using FTP.

It probably already exists in some way for PS4, but I mainly found this useful for myself so I decided to implement it.

Thanks to sleirsgoevy's firmware escape the homebrew is firmware-agnostic and works on both HEN and Mira.

Usage

  1. Install the PKG onto your PS4;
  2. Enable FTP and upload the PKG you want to install to /data;
  3. Run the app.

IPI vs Debug Settings

IPI does have a disadvantage compared to Debug Settings. Because we're uploading our PKG files now to the HDD instead of having it stored on a USB, the HDD requires 2x the space. This is fine for small PKG installations, but if your PKG is very large, check with your system if you have enough space on the HDD x 2.

    Line 82 and 83 causes an issue with large package names.

    Did you want me to issue a PR for it?

  • Stalled on blue screen when attempting to install large pkgs

    Stalled on blue screen when attempting to install large pkgs

    On goldHen 2.0b and fw 9.00,

    The app works in installing smaller pkgs (tested two pkgs sub-100mb) but fails to installer larger pkgs, stalling out on a blue screen, no response or change (waited 15mins, large pkg size 30-40gb)

    If small pkgs and large pkgs are attempted to be installed together, the small pkgs will install successfully and ps4-ipi will stall on a blue screen with failing to install the large pkg

    The app works as expected when attempting to install only small pkgs

  • "Cannot install" for packages that do not exist anymore

    I have had a few packages that I have installed and then removed, both uninstalled and deleted source pkgs from /data. Now after every use of IPI I get additional notifications for these packages even though I completely deleted them. I guess that there is a cache with list of pkgs to install that wasn't cleared, would be nice to be able to clear it manually.

  • "Cannot Download" error

    For some reason, any file I transfer to /data via FTP will not install using the IPI on FW9.00.

    I have tried renaming the files to something simple like 'package.pkg' or 'test.pkg', but none will install. I've tried at least 10 different packages if not more, none of them will install.

    These same package files install without issue via USB flash drive and the debug 'Package Installer', and they launch without issue either.

    is there a log file that is saved somewhere that would point to the cause of the error?

    A number of other users are reporting the same error on a few sites I visit, but I didn't see an issue here for it. Essentially USB install works fine, /data folder install does not.

  • Doesnt install

    Doesnt install
