KeepAwake

A PS5 and PS4 payload that stops the console from going into rest mode while it runs.

Every 10 seconds it calls sceSystemServicePowerTick(), which resets the idle timer for auto rest mode.

Usage

Console	File	Send to
PS5	keepawake_ps5_v<version>.elf	ELF loader, port 9021
PS4	keepawake_ps4_v<version>.bin	GoldHEN BinLoader, port 9090

• Enable: send the payload. You'll see "Keep Awake v enabled".
• Disable: send the payload again. You'll see "Keep Awake v disabled". You can also connect to port 9031 on the console, for example with make stop-ps5 or nc -z <console-ip> 9031.

Only one copy runs at a time. It uses TCP port 9031 to know whether it's already running.

Building

The Makefile expects the SDKs next to this folder (../ps5-payload-sdk and ../ps4-payload-sdk). Set PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK or PS4SDK to use them from somewhere else.

make                              # build both
make ps5                          # or just one
make ps4
make test-ps5 PS5_HOST=<ps5-ip>   # build and send
make test-ps4 PS4_HOST=<ps4-ip>

Both builds need LLVM (clang, ld.lld, llvm-objcopy). The Makefile uses Homebrew's LLVM automatically when it's installed. Otherwise, set LLVM_CONFIG to your llvm-config.

The version is set by VERSION in the Makefile. It goes into the filenames, where Payload Manager reads it, and into the toasts.

Source

• src/ps5.c: built with the ps5-payload-sdk.
• src/ps4.c: built against libPS4 from the Scene-Collective ps4-payload-sdk. libPS4 has no select(), so this version checks for a stop request once a second.
