XAVATAR changelog

XAVATAR v1.1.0 adds image-link loading, avatar notifications, and an automatic update check to the self-contained PS4 avatar studio on port 4002.

New in v1.1.0

• Image links: paste a direct http:// or https:// link to a PNG, JPG or WebP image and select Load. The console downloads the image itself, so the link works even when the image host does not allow cross-origin browser access. Links up to 8 MiB are supported, and animated GIFs are not supported through links. If a link still cannot be loaded, download the image and choose the file instead.
• Avatar notifications: creating or installing an avatar now shows the avatar image itself in the system notification. Startup, service-status, and error notifications keep the XAVATAR logo. Each avatar is exported under its own content-hashed file in /user/data/XAVATAR/, so the notification always reflects the newest avatar instead of a cached earlier one.
• Update check: the interface compares its version with the latest GitHub release and shows a banner with a download link when a newer version exists. The check runs automatically once per page load, and an Updates button checks on demand and reports whether you are on the latest version. The check runs from your browser and contacts only the GitHub API.
• Avatar ideas: the image panel links to the PSPrices PS4 avatars collection. Save an image you like to your device, or copy its address, then use Choose image or the image-link field.

Downloads

• XAVATAR.elf — run the studio directly.
• XAVATAR-installer.elf — install /data/payloads/XAVATAR.elf, back up an existing version, and start the studio.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — download checksums.

Send one ELF to a compatible PS4 payload loader, then open http://YOUR-PS4-IP:4002 from a device on the same network. No frontend-file transfer is required. Sign out and back in after installing an avatar to refresh it. Use Stop service to close port 4002.

Notifications include Haider A.H (c) 1.1.0V. System notifications remain in English.

Validation

Native payload and installer builds pass. Local checks cover the new image-link flow (including the console-side fetch endpoint), avatar notification export with per-image filenames, the automatic GitHub update check, the existing library upload/download/deletion, package validation, filename collisions, installed-profile preservation, PS4 language mapping and fallbacks, and all 11 languages on desktop and mobile. Physical PS4 verification is still required for firmware/loader behavior, outbound link fetching over HTTPS on the console, actual notification icon rendering (including avatar images), and visible avatar refresh.

XAVATAR v1.0.3 adds library file management and 11 interface languages to the self-contained PS4 avatar studio on port 4002.

New in v1.0.3

• Upload XAVATAR imports a valid .xavatar package up to 4 MiB into the console's library. Choose a name before uploading; existing files are never overwritten.
• Download saves an exact copy of a library package to your phone or computer.
• Delete asks for confirmation before removing a library package. Already installed profile avatars stay unchanged.
• Automatic (PS4) selects the interface language from the console's system settings. You can choose a language manually and save your preference, or return to automatic mode.
• 11 languages: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese and Chinese. Arabic uses a right-to-left layout. Unsupported or unavailable console languages fall back to English.

Downloads

• XAVATAR.elf — run the studio directly.
• XAVATAR-installer.elf — install /data/payloads/XAVATAR.elf, back up an existing version, and start the studio.
• XAVATAR-1.0.3.zip — both payloads, sender, logo, README, and notices.
• XAVATAR-source.zip — editable source and build helpers.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — download checksums.

Send one ELF to a compatible PS4 payload loader, then open http://YOUR-PS4-IP:4002 from a device on the same network. No frontend-file transfer is required. Sign out and back in after installing an avatar to refresh it. Use Stop service to close port 4002.

Notifications include Haider A.H (c) 1.0.3V and request the bundled XAVATAR logo. System notifications remain in English.

Validation

Native payload and installer builds pass. Local checks cover library upload/download/deletion, package validation, filename collisions, installed-profile preservation, PS4 language mapping and fallbacks, manual language preferences, and all 11 languages on desktop and mobile. The existing creation, installation, rollback, installer, and sender checks also pass. Physical PS4 verification is still required for firmware/loader behavior, actual system-language access, notification icon rendering, and visible avatar refresh.

XAVATAR is a self-contained PS4 avatar studio on port 4002.

Downloads

• XAVATAR.elf — run the studio directly.
• XAVATAR-installer.elf — install /data/payloads/XAVATAR.elf, back up an existing version, and start the studio immediately.
• XAVATAR-1.0.2.zip — both payloads, sender, logo, README, and notices.
• XAVATAR-source.zip — editable source, frontend, bundled dependencies, and build helpers.
• SHA256SUMS.txt — download checksums.

Use

Send one ELF to a compatible PS4 payload loader. Wait for the ready notification, then open http://YOUR-PS4-IP:4002 on a phone or computer on the same network. No frontend-file transfer is required.

Create and install without saving, save a .xavatar file, or combine both operations. The avatar library supports previews and per-user installation. Sign out and back in to refresh the console avatar.

Use Stop service in the top bar to close port 4002 and exit the payload. Load the payload again to reopen it. The repository and archives no longer contain the docs, tests, or licenses directories; dependency notices are preserved in the root THIRD_PARTY.md file.

Branding and notifications

The original blue/cyan XAVATAR logo is included in the README, interface, favicon, and both ELFs. The payload exports its notification image automatically to /user/data/XAVATAR/notification.png and uses it in notification requests. Every notification includes Haider A.H (c) 1.0.2V. The system icon is used if image preparation or notification submission fails.

Validation

Native PS4 ELF builds pass. Creation, installation, rollback, the installer, service shutdown, notification request fields, credit formatting, and automatic logo export were checked locally. The desktop/mobile interface was checked as well. Physical PS4 testing is still required for firmware/loader behavior, actual notification icon rendering, and the final visible avatar refresh.
