# PS4 Support

{% hint style="danger" %}
Sapphire works on a PS4 out of the box. However, connecting to it is unsafe and bad and shouldn't be used for more than testing.
{% endhint %}

To use Sapphire with a PS4, you will need the following things:

* A fully set-up Sapphire Server (see [Getting Started](https://github.com/SapphireServer/wiki/blob/main/experimental/broken-reference/README.md));
* A PS4 with the matching FFXIV client version;
* A usable Square Enix service account;
* Python 2.6.

1. Set the AllowNoSessionConnect parameter in the lobby configuration file to `true`;

2. Start your servers and run the `ps4dns.py` Python-Script in the `src/tools` folder;
3. Set the DNS Server on your PS4 to the local IP Address of your PC;
4. Log into the game on your PS4 - exit the lobby but do not quit the game;
5. Copy the selected text that should be printed in the lobby console;

6. Navigate to PS4transitionally.html in a browser which should be running on your REST server;
7. Enter the following information to the page:

*Secret* should be the secret set for REST in the server config - `default` as default.

*sId* should be the text you just copied from your lobby server console.

*accountId* should be the id of the already created sapphire account you want to use on your PS4;

8. Click `insert`, and change the Data Center on your PS4.

Done! You should now see your characters on the PS4 and be able to log in just fine.
