Popular Post aikikalaskamaido Posted April 7 Popular Post Share Posted April 7 (edited) Hey everyone, I want to introduce a tool I made called RewindPS4 that can easily downgrade PS4 games. RewindPS4 works on the same principle as when we used the Charles tool for downgrading games, but automating the fiddly steps. You just need to provide the JSON link for the old game version you want. We all know that some older versions of games have certain "tricks" that make trophies easier to obtain or can avoid some glitches. For example,the latest version of Mafia 3, there are some glitches that prevent certain trophies from unlocking, but the older 1.09 version doesn't have this issue. In the new version of Final Fantasy 15, the comrades mode has been removed, and the only way to obtain trophies related to that mode is by downloading the older version. Download: https://github.com/Ailyth99/RewindPS4/releases It's worth noting that RewindPS4 only supports downgrading PS4 games for now, not PS5 games. But you can use it on PS4/PS5 console to download older PS4 game versions. The tool provides two modes: Mode 1 lets you specify any version, then have your PS4/PS5 connect to the proxy network built by this program to download the old version. Mode 2 only works on PS4, completely blocking all patches to solely download the 1.0 initial release. I've written up a detailed guide covering the usage process: USER GUIDE here It is recommended to use Windows 10. However, if you are using Windows 7 or macOS, you can still use it, but it may be a bit more complicated. You can refer to user guide for more details. So yeah, it's a handy little utility I hope proves useful to everyone! Edited Monday at 10:29 AM by aikikalaskamaido 173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Do you plan to add support for other/older Operating Systems for those of us who don't have Windows 10 or 11? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Github, it's just a bunch of Python scripts, that utilize Qt for the GUI and doesn't use any platform-dependent libraries, so all other Windows versions and other OS's can use the scripts directly, as long as Python and a Qt binding is installed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 That is cool and would help folks out with Nioh (LIving Weapon Nerf), Vampyr (Menu cheat) and Skul (developer menu) just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZitMeatloaf Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If this tool gains popularity and wide usage, it will be interesting to see how it affects the popular games list. Will the great Stranded Deep platinum rush of 2023 make a return? Someone's going to revert to version 1.18 and see if it works again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillynoc Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This is awesome, thanks so much! I've bought a few games with broken trophies recently, intending to downgrade them with Charles when I get around to them, and having this will make it infinitely easier.

UltrasuperNight Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Does this tool work on PS5? Like, if I want to downgrade a PS4 game, can I do it on PS5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I was hoping someone would make a simple GUI tool like this for downgrading. Nicely done! 14 hours ago, GothGirlMaxine said: Hopefully we can see PS5 game support in the future I can already tell you that this will not be possible with a stock PS5 firmware. 19 minutes ago, UltrasuperNight said: Does this tool work on PS5?

Mendarxis Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That tool looks awesome. It will definitely help obtaining all trophies in Mafia III which would be horrible because of the last trophy broken patches. By using your tool, I can hopefully easily downgrade to patch 1.09 and have a non-glitched platinum experience. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if you have the US version, using the EU JSON won't work. 2 hours ago, UltrasuperNight said: Does this tool work on PS5? Like, if I want to downgrade a PS4 game, can I do it on PS5? YES, but it can only be used when downloading PS4 games on the PS5 console. As it stands now, it's impossible to downgrade PS5 games. Simply put, we can't obtain some of the transmitted content for PS5 game download patches because it's encrypted, so we can't replace it with the version we want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUDGER666 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm useless with stuff like this. To use this I would need to setup a proxy server, right? Do I need to have a wired connection for it to work as my doesn't have an ethernet port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, at least for me, that it starts to download then pops up "couldn't download - Virus detected" the V.08 works to download and run perfectly fine but as noted, it's in a different language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
