Easiest way to get to lv.100 WITHOUT a turbo controller

[fabmorais_2011]

Hi all,
 

As all of you know, Injustice is one hell of a plat. Even after you managed to overcome the grueling Battle Mode with all patches applied on PS4 and trudge through the S.T.A.R. Labs missions, you'll still have another nightmare ahead: getting your profile to level 100, to get The Hero We Deserve and your shiny platinum. After you've done everything in the game, you'll probably be around level 60-65 -- certainly below 70, because the exp required from there onwards escalates very quickly.

I got to level 90 boosting this manually with the interactable trick (if you don't know about it, Google it -- it's a well known exploit), using my VITA in Remote Play as a second controller and pressing the shoulder button repeatedly while I watched a movie or something. That went reasonably well until level 90, but the thing is: level 90 is only less than halfway through. Level 100 amounts to 50,796,671 exp points, and at level 90 you're at about 20.000.000.

There are a few known ways to get through this: 1- buy a (expensive) Hori turbo controller for the PS4 and set up a macro to keep it pressing the interactable button while you leave the game on. 2- go online and win 50 matches to get the 10x multiplier, buy the 5x multiplier to add to it and have a 15x multiplier to alleviate the pain. I reckon that, if you have a turbo controller and get the 15x multiplier, this is a no-brainer.

BUT, what if, like me, you don't want to buy a turbo controller just for one trophy and don't want to spend any more time on the online? Believe it or not, there's a method to get this goddamn trophy with one regular controller automatically, using only Remote Play on a laptop/PC and a macro maker tool.

This is possible because, even though you can’t play PS4 games with your keyboard on Remote Play, some keys on your keyboard are assigned for navigating the PS4 (Enter = X; Esc = O and Arrows = D-pad).

So, without further ado, let's get to it.

What you'll need:

Official PS4 Remote Play software for PC
A handy little software called Ghost Control 3.0.6 (Trial version is enough for what we want here).

I don't know if I can post direct links to software on this forum, so just Google it. If you have trouble finding them, PM me and I’ll send you the links.

Step 1 - Setting up:

Download the PS4 Remote Play software to your computer and install it.
Download the Ghost Control 3.0.6 software to your computer and install it.

Step 2 - Configuring the macro on Ghost Control:

Open the installed Ghost Control software and you’ll see the below screen. Click on the red button that says “Start Recording”.



After a countdown, the below yellow dialog will appear. It means the software is recording your inputs on the keyboard to create a macro. Since this is a trial version, the recording will last only 30 seconds, but that’s more than enough for what we want. As soon as you see this screen, start pressing Enter on your keyboard until the 30 seconds run out.



On the next screen, simply close the pop-up window without ordering the software.



Next, you’ll be prompted to enter a name for the job:



On the next screen, click on Edit to open the window on the left, which let’s you edit the job. You’ll see your inputs there, in this case, Enter, Enter, Enter...



I advise you to take the step below because this macro didn’t work for me. I had to edit it as follows.

Wipe the succession of keystrokes (Enter, Enter, Enter…) with the Back key on your keyboard and replace them by clicking with your mouse pointer on the Ent key on the virtual keyboard. The end result should look like this picture. Maybe the previous macro will work for you and you won’t need to do this, I don’t know, but I had to in order to make it work on my computer. Save the changes and exit.



Your macro is finally ready. Lastly, remember to check “over and over again” on this screen so that the macro is repeated indefinitely.



Step 3 – Starting the Remote Play session
 

First, boot your PS4 and set up a versus match with a guest account. You should use the below map (The Watchtower) and a big guy like Lex Luthor as your 1 player. Use a guest account to play against yourself – the opponent doesn’t matter. Once the battle starts, go to the right until you reach the computer. That’s the interactable you’ll be using. Once your screen looks like the below one, it’s time to start the Remote Play session. Don’t do it sooner, or you won’t be able to play against yourself, since you can’t start a guest session with one controller during Remote Play mode.


 

Open the installed PS4 Remote Play software on your computer. I won’t go through the details on how to set it up, because it’s super simple and user friendly. If you have any doubts, do PM me.

Now you have to change Interact button to X, since that’s what your macro will be doing: pressing Enter (X) repeatedly. Save preset and resume the match.



Now, with both the Remote Play screen and Ghost Control opened, click on the green arrow that says Run on Ghost Control to execute the macro.



Then, click one time on the Remote Play screen and your character will start doing the interactable move for as long as the macro stays active (it will repeat itself over and over after 30 seconds, because you marked this option earlier).



Step 4 – Profit!

Now, you just have to leave it for as long as you want/need. The screen below is the result of a 7 hour session. I left it running on midnight last night, went to sleep and stopped it at 7AM today. This got me roughly 1 million exp points multiplied by 5x, since I used that multiplier. That got me from level 91 to almost level 94, as your can see.



The math is: approximately Lex will do the move 50 times per minute, hence 3.000 times per hour, hence 21.000 times in 7 hours. Each interactable amounts to 50 exp, so: 1.050.000 exp points.

One final tip: Remote Play sessions via Wi-Fi aren’t that much stable, so avoid having other connected devices doing stuff while doing this to avoid connection drops and have both the PS4 and your laptop/PC near the router.

I hope this helps other people striving to get this godforsaken trophy! If you have any doubts, post here or PM me and I’ll be glad to help!

Wow. This is great for any PS4 trophy that might be easier with a turbo controller.

[DEMON]

If you ask me, this all sounds very dodgy.

[fabmorais_2011]

It's the same as setting up a turbo controller really. It will do exactly the same -- have a macro set up so you don't have to develop a tendinitis from pressing the same button for hours on end.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I never played injustice and from reading all of this, even I believe I can get this done.

 

Incredible guide, fab. Shame Aela doesn't belong to the website anymore or it would be worth posting the link in the guide comments.

Thanks, Yuri. This solution saves a LOT of hassle and money. I was seriously considering buying a turbo controller before I discovered this.

Reminds me of when I started using a keyboard for ibb & obb to avoid buying a secondary controller back in the day HAHAHAHA

You changed the button presets through the pause menu (X to interact), but can't you do the same thing through the XMB menu?  (Settings --> Accessibility --> Button assignments --> Customize button assignments)

 

If true, in theory this should work with other games as well (like My Name is Mayo  )

Yeah, I changed it through the pause menu. Curiously, when I changed it from there before beginning the Remote Play session, I had to do it again (via the pause menu) after the Remote Play session was in place. Somehow, it registered on the PS4, but not remotely. I don't know about doing it on the XMB menu, would have to check.

EDIT: don't think it would work though, since the keyboard is mapped to Enter = X; Esc = O and Arrows = D-pad, so the game would have to have the option to change presets in-game. Or at least I think so.

Excellent discovery, amazing!  I think I'll have to try this tonight!  Any other tips?  I'm guess we'll need to plug our controllers in to prevent them from dying and pausing the game?

 

Thanks mate!

I left the controller plugged in on one of the USB ports of my laptop just to be sure. Set the energy options on the PS4 to never shut down as well just in case.

I would love to be able to use the Remote Play software on my laptop, but I'm still running Windows 7 and my processor isn't good enough. Mind you, neither is my internet speed as I don't have 5mbps upload (and nowhere near the recommended 12mbps).

Sorry to hear that but yeah, my internet is at 15mbps download and 12mbps upload and I can't guarantee a stable remote play session on peak hours. It only goes (relatively) smooth after midnight, with all my other stuff offline.

Further proof the method works:





After five sessions, this trophy is finally mine, along with the plat!

If anyone wants to try it sometime, another useful tip. On the Remote Play software, set the resolution to low:



It will reduce the strain on your Wi-Fi connection and help avoiding connection drops. One of my sessions was useless because resolution was too high and my connection couldn't handle it.

Good luck for anyone how tries this plat!

I'm working on a trophy guide for this game now so if you like i'll put a link for this thread into it?.. Personally it seems like a lot more effort than it's worth, but then again any means of earning that trophy is.. Whatever method you choose to earn it will still take around 40-50 hours

It's a really good tip though, nice work

Hi, please feel free to so! I'd be glad if this helps other people.

And, frankly, without a turbo controller I think this is the only possible way -- at least for me. I would probably have given up if I hadn't discovered this method, as I was not willing to buy a turbo controller just for it and doing it manually was out of question once I reached level 90 or so.

Sweet i'll add a link to this thread in the guide and credit you

Yeah it definitely is unless you play it non-stop for a good few months. I don't blame you at all, they went way too far with the amount of XP you need to get to level 100. I ended up cracking and buying a turbo controller before I even started trying to boost that trophy. I have an injured wrist so I needed one for mission 24 of star labs because button mashing was just out of the question for me haha  Even with a turbo remote though it took 4 nights of doing the interactable glitch to reach level 100, it's just ridiculous.

Yeah this is a good tips for people who doesen't want to lose precious time for this stupid time, but since i got this platinum 3 time on my account i can tell you there's a fast method too if you don't have the possibility to use the thread's method. Seriously in 12/15 hours max you reach lv100 (depending how fast you are), my last time i've spent roughly 40 hours for getting all trophies, i just wasted a lot of hours due to a trophy glitched and because this server sucks.

Interesting, I'd like to hear how is that possible. Would you like to share your method with us?

I envy the fact that you were patient enough to 100% it three times, seriously just once was enough  Care to share how you do it so quick?

It's not patience i just found this game amazing so i got my triple plat ? my method it's a bit stupid because you need to play in KOTH (so you need 3 people), you set the challenge who give the max reward (if i remember well you need to win the match without losing life) but since you are with boosting partner it's not a problem. At the same time you have the X10 multipler for the 50 match, so you'll gain a lot of xp. So: you buy X10 multipler, go online in KOTH with boosting partner, 1 guy win until finish the 50 match with X10 multipler, after that rebuy the X10 and go in settings and put infinite time, after versus mode and pick solomon grundy or doomsday and do the interaction method in the map where in transiction you have the 2 big robot who punch the opponent (i don't remember the name, but you had to stay on the right side where you put the opponent in transiction). Why i do this method? Because my friend boosting partner has 2 ps4 so i had no problem. I recapitulate my time for the platinum: 12/15 hours lv100, win 100 play 200 online match

7/8 hours ranked match (server was little busy)

2 hours story mode

6 hours battle with all characters

3 hours for battle mode (sorry for some people but you now it was my third time i had absolutely no problem to complete every thing in zero re try)

6 hours i think for the star labs

and a couple of hours lose doing all normal and special move 

Sorry for my confusing explanation, if you want something else feel free to contact me here or by pm

Hmm, Moreover You can try to script Solomon Grandy for c-c-combo and win with it all areas

Ah, I see. Yes, I was aware that it could be quicker if you boost via KOTH online with a boosting partner. That's a very nice method indeed. The one I posted is aimed specifically at players who don't want to spend any more time online and/or would have difficulties finding the time to go through long online sessions, though. But great tips!

I don't think that would work. Inputs via keyboard are very limited, and you would be playing against the AI.

Yeah sure man, i just put my method because not a lot of people have a good upload to stream by computer

I was getting excited and just about to install when I got a pop up saying romate play wasnt compatible on my windows xp x64
