use GIMX on PS4 after factory reset (DS4 on usb and ps button)
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 9:56 am
Hi,
I recently bought a cheap ps4 (because it is banned) but without ds4. It has been factory reset by the seller and now when I power it on, it is asking to plug a ds4 controller with usb cable and press the ps button (it seems to be the normal procedure after factory reset).
Right now, I just want to check if the ps4 is working well before buying a ds4 or equivalent. I have read that you can use a usb keyboard to navigate in the ps4 menus but keyboard does not work for this first time initialization.
So I am wondering if with GIMX I could simulate the USB plugged DS4 and ps button press to go to the next step (choosing language I think) and use a usb keyboard to accomplish the initial setup.
I am aware that GIMX needs a real DS4 plugged on computer for authentication, but as I said I do not have this DS4...
I have read the emups4pairing firmware code and there is no need for authentication; so do you think I could use it for my problem? Maybe the PS4 is asking to plug a DS4 with USB only to accomplish this pairing...
Note that I also don't have a GIMX adapter, but I use a linux board with USB OTG, where I am porting GIMX firmware code. This setup is more and less working with a PS3. I have made a quick attempt for the PS4 but it still not working (ps4 is asking a 0x0381 report but I don't know what it is). But this is another problem, firstly I would like to know if I can emulate this ps button without real DS4.
Thanks for your help!
Regards
