PS Store Activation[edit | edit source]

URLs[edit | edit source]

PS Store content activation is often refered to as NP KDC.

On PS3, PSP and PS Vita:

On PS4, the servers files are:

  • /tcap.m for acttype 1 and 3
  • /tcdp.m for acttype 2 and 4
  • /tkdp.m for acttype 5 and 6

Usage on PS3, PSP and PS Vita:

  • cap should be Console Activation Point. Posting loginid, password (or epassword) and consoleid to tcap.m returns act.dat file.
  • cdp = Console Deactivation Point. Same as cap but the console removes the act.dat from the console after this is executed.
  • kdp = ?Key Download/Drop Point?. RIF files are obtained from here

Image And Video[edit | edit source]

Image API[edit | edit source]

Sony servers provide an API to convert any image available on internet to another file format. Here is an example: 

https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg

https://image.api.np.km.playstation.net/dis/images/?format=png&w=4096&h=2160&image=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/785892918645129216/1bmhzm0t.jpg

Supported arguments are:

  • image (mandatory): URL to the image
  • format: "png" or "jpg"
  • w: width in pixel. It is limited to 4096.
  • h: height in pixel. It is limited to 2160.

The maximum size may be 8847360 pixels (4096 times 2160).

Games and applications[edit | edit source]

PlayStation 4 games and applications induce connection to internet to download updates, be downloaded in the case of contents bought on the PlayStation store, and some specific games use more connections for online gaming or diverse additional contents.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn[edit | edit source]

See also the official website, patchnote logs.

Free trial[edit | edit source]

There exists a free trial of Final Fantasy XIV for PS4 and PS5 on PS Store.

The free trial lets you play for as long as you want for free, but with limitations. You are only being able to play through Stormblood, with social limitations, etc.

PlayStation Plus[edit | edit source]

You do not need a subscription to PlayStation Plus to be able to play FFXIV Online. It does, however, need a subscription to the game itself.

You can theoritically get a 30-day trial by registering on Square Enix website:

Unusual update system[edit | edit source]

The game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn tries to download an update patch before starting the game, instead of the official PKG way. It is yet to be confirmed which version of the game is affected.

It uses HTTP not HTTPS so can be hijacked using a proxy or DNS. The signatures are maybe unverified.

Example with CUSA00285[edit | edit source]

After inserting for the first CUSA000285 disc in a PS4, information tells that it is version 1.00 and size 107KB.

After launching the game without internet connection and under a PSN account without PS Plus, it displays: 

Unable to complete version check.
[20013][-214323327]

Then the game size becomes 38.19GB.

After launching the game without internet connection and under a local PS4 account, it displays: Sign in to PlayStation Network to use network features (NP-31730-4)

vercheck.dat[edit | edit source]

The game executable downloads a file named vercheck.dat from

The vercheck.dat file contains the URL to download the .patch file.

patch file[edit | edit source]

The patch is in ZIPATCH format. The patch may be RSA signed, but maybe the downloader executable or the checker is vulnerable to buffer overflows or other vulnerabilities.

TV and Video Service Applications[edit | edit source]

See also Media Services and Internet Browser.

As on the PS3, TV/Video_Services can be directly installed to the console, seperately from browsing the PS store.

As a side reference, on PlayStation 3 (WebMAF), the user-agent of TV & Video applications used to be mostly "Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation 3) AppleWebKit/531.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) SCEE/1.0 Nuanti/2.0 whilst on PS4 it is mostly Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation 4) AppleWebKit/531.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) SCEE/1.0 Nuanti/2.0.
