Christmas has been a busy period in terms of releases for the console hacking scene. While we did write a few articles on some of these releases this week, a lot more releases happened over the past few days, and we couldn’t talk about everything fast enough. Here’s a short summary of what we saw for the scene:
PS5
PS4
- PS4 CFW Toolkit[1] released by Al-Azif[2], decryption/encryption tool, paves the way for future full-fledged PS4 Custom Firmwares
- Reaper Studio and MultiTrainer II (tools to create PS4 patches and cheats) have been updated to 1.0.2 and 1.1.7 respectively[3]. These releases bring compatibility with the latest GoldHEN, and bug fixes.
- the fpPS4[4] PS4 emulator is making crazy progress, almost on a daily basis. We reported on its status a few days ago here[5], but more games are already reported working. You can download the latest builds here[6]. (click on the most recent action, then scroll down to artifacts for the download link. Must be logged in to github to see the link). Temmie’s launcher, a GUI for the emulator, can be found here[7].
PS Vita
- NetStream[8] lets you watch Youtube on your PS Vita (official Youtube support was dropped years ago on the device by Sony). It was released by GrapheneCT[9].
PS3
PS2
- Howling Wolf & Chelsea over at PSX-Place released a showcase of XtremeEliteBoot+[10], a work-in-progress homebrew that serves as a launcher, an OSDSYS replacement and a fully fledged environment forPS2. XtremeEliteBoot+ lets you create your own plugins in lua to control its behavior, and mod it from the ground up. It is so powerful one can code a game inside its themes:
Nintendo Switch
- ENLBufferPwn[11] was disclosed, a critical vulnerability impacting 3DS, Wii U, and Switch in Nintendo First party games
I’m sure we missed a lot of other cool releases over the past few days. Let us know which ones in the comments!
