# Preparing your PS4 system.

- Make sure you are on firmware 9.00.
- Go to Settings>Sound and Screen>Video output Settings>

# Traditional Method

## Preparing your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device for ArchLinux-PS4v2

:warning: Highly recommeded to use a USE A >=16GB USB 3.0 Device :warning:

- Format the USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device to Fat32 filesystem. You can use this [software.](http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.html)
- Copy and paste the bzImage, the initramfs.cpio.gz, bootargs.txt and psxitarch.tar.xz files to the root of the USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device.
- :warning: If you use the same initramfs.cpio.gz from this Github project, the name of this OS should be psxitarch.tar.xz :warning:
- The total of 4 files should be on the root of your USB 3.0 Device bzImage, the initramfs.cpio.gz, bootargs.txt and arch.tar.xz or psxitarch.tar.xz.
- Then connect your USB 3.0 Device with all the needed files to your PS4, make sure to connect the USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device and the USB slot that is near from the PS4 Blue-ray Disc Drive.
- Open the PS4 web browser and launch the JB+LINUX (VRAM 1GB) payload, use this [one](https://sleirsgoevy.github.io/900-host/).
- Follow the instructions in order to jailbreak your PS4.

## First Run Linux installation

- When you are on the rescueshell type the following commands:
>__exec install-psxitarch.sh__
- When the installation is done ArchLinux-PS4v2 is going to boot automatically, if not type the following command:
>__exec start-psxitarch.sh__

If you got an error like this one: "mount -o ro /newroot failed" just type the following commands:
>__mount -o ro /newroot__
- then again
>__mount -o ro /newroot__
- Now type this:
>__exec start-psxitarch.sh__
- and should boot now to ArchLinux-PS4v2 :)

## Post installation steps (for the ones who follows the Traditional Method)

- Connect your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 to a computer and copy again the [bootargs.txt](https://mega.nz/file/2qBCTJpR#CTD_nQOLFsrBMcau-KS6QitasbuVAXx_PPN22Wk2qoo) file in the root of the FAT32 partition.
- Jailbreak again your PS4 with Sleirsgoevy [host](https://sleirsgoevy.github.io/900-host/) and then click on >> select JB+LINUX (VRAM 1GB) payload.
- You will be again in the rescueshell, just type:
>__exec start-psxitarch.sh__

# Recommended method

You need a computer with Linux in order to follow this steps. This method is faster and better than the traditional one.

- Connect your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 to your computer with the linux of your preference.
- If you are using Ubuntu type the following command sudo apt-get install gparted.
- If you are using Arch type the following command sudo pacman -Sy gparted.
- If you are using Fedora type the following command sudo dnf install gparted.
- Run Gparted.
- Make sure you are selecting your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 on gparted.
- Create the first partition with 300 MB with FAT32 format. (No label name needed)
- Create a second partition with the label name psxitarch and then format the partiton to EXT4 format.
- Close gparted and mount the new partitions you have created in your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0, now you are ready to install ArchLinux-PS4v2.
- Copy and paste the bzImage, the initramfs.cpio.gz, bootargs.txt files to the root of the FAT32 partition.
(Asuming the psxitarch.tar.xz is in the Downloads folder) 
- Open the Terminal and type the following commands:
>__sudo tar -xvJpf /home/$USER/Downloads/psxitarch.tar.xz -C /media/$USER/psxitarch__
- Once this finish, eject safely your USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 from your comptuter.
- Then connect your USB 3.0 Device with all the needed files to your PS4, make sure to connect the USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device and the USB slot that is near from the PS4 Blue-ray Disc Drive.
- Open the PS4 web browser and launch the JB+LINUX (VRAM 1GB) or (VRAM 3GB)payload, use this [host](https://sleirsgoevy.github.io/900-host/).

## Post installation steps (for the ones who follows the Recommended Method)

- Connect your USB 3.0 Device with all the needed files to your PS4, make sure to connect the USB|HDD|SDD 3.0 Device and the USB slot that is near from the PS4 Blue-ray Disc Drive.
- Open the PS4 web browser and launch the JB+LINUX (VRAM 1GB) or (VRAM 3GB)payload, use this [host](https://sleirsgoevy.github.io/900-host/).

## Changing the System Time and Date

The first time you boot to ArchLinux-PS4v2 you need to fix the time and date. ⚠️Connect your PS4 to the internet by WiFi or Ethernet port first. ⚠️

Check first the list of time zones available typing the following command on the terminal:
>__timedatectl list-timezones__

For example mine is: America/Tegucigalpa

To set your time zone:
>__sudo timedatectl set-timezone Zone/SubZone__

For example in my case is: __sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Tegucigalpa__

Then we will create a symbolic link to do this permanently:
>__sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Zone/SubZone /etc/localtime__

For example in my case is: __sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Tegucigalpa /etc/localtime__

Now we will enable NTP just type this on the Terminal:

>__sudo timedatectl set-ntp true__

Now just wait about 5~10 seconds and you will see your date and time will change automatically to your zone.

# Recommended emulators and tips:

- RPCS3 - PS3 emulator. (You can try their [AppImage.](https://rpcs3.net/download))
- PCSX2 - PS2 emulator. (You can try their [AppImage.](https://pcsx2.net/downloads/#nightly-anchor))
- Nintendo Switch emulator. (You can try their [AppImage.](https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/))

If you run games on Wine, Swap should be enable, just run the following commands:

>__sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=8192 status=progress__

>__sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile__

>__sudo mkswap -U clear /swapfile__

>__sudo swapon /swapfile__

Finally, edit the fstab configuration to add an entry for the swap file:

>__sudo nano /etc/fstab__

Copy and paste this at the end of the file:
/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

On your keyboard press CTRL + O and then "yes" to save the changes.
Then CTRL + X to exit from Nano.

Now you can close the terminal.
