  • Some cheats require MC or Master Code to be enabled
    • To view cheats compatible with your games you can go inside the Cheats manager app and in cheats press Triangle to view all the cheats compatible with your currently installed games.

How to use Patches

Go into the PS4 Cheats Manager And Select Patches

  • Once inside, you can press Triangle to filter out any patches for games/regions/updates that you don't have installed.
  • Simply select any game(s) you'd like to try any patches for, and enable the ones you'd like.
    • You can also press Triangle to view the .xml Document for a patch, which can help verify the intended update version (e.g. 01.15) or Title ID (e.g. CUSA20240). It also contains credits for the patches' author(s)
  • Once you're satisfied with the patches you've selected, you can simply exit the cheats manager and start your game.
    • There is no need to keep the GoldHEN Cheats Manager running in the background, as the plugin will remain running on it's own as a daemon.
  • Upon starting your game and running the correct executable (for the games that use more than the initial eboot.bin), you should see a pop-up notification telling you that a certain number of patches were enabled, as well as the total amount of individual changes applied by the patches.


How to use Plugins

  • Plugins are located in the data/GoldHEN/plugins folder.
  • plugins.ini is in data/GoldHEN.
    • The easiest way to add new ones and edit the plugins.ini is via FTP.
  • To add custom plugins like mod menus place them in the plugins folder.
  • Then edit the plugins.ini to reflect the title id of the game you want to apply the plugin to and the name of the plugin with its path.
  • Here is an example of the plugins.ini and how it should be used. This is from the default setup that comes from following this guide.
; Note: lines starting with semicolon are for comments.
; Load plugins for any title.

[default]
/data/GoldHEN/plugins/game_patch.prx

; Load plugins only for Playroom.
