What is orbisRPC?

orbisRPC (often searched as orbisrpc ps4, or written orbis rpc) is a free, open-source Discord Rich Presence daemon for the jailbroken PlayStation 4 running GoldHEN. It shows the game you're playing — name, cover art and play timer — on your Discord profile, and it runs entirely on the console with no PC.

What orbisRPC is

orbisRPC is a Discord Rich Presence daemon and payload for the jailbroken PlayStation 4 (GoldHEN). It detects the game in the foreground, resolves its name and cover art, and posts the activity to Discord over TLS — all on the console itself.

  • Shows your current PS4 game, its cover art and an elapsed play timer on Discord.
  • Runs as a background GoldHEN payload — no PC, script or FTP bridge at runtime.
  • Supports jailbroken firmware 5.05 through 13.52 (9.00–13.52 verified).
  • Covers retail titles (Sony TMDB), homebrew (pkg-zone) and 28,000+ PS1/PS2/PSP classics.
  • Installs in about five minutes from a single setup PKG.
  • Free and open source: github.com/SirHumza/orbisRPC
