PS4 RIF Renamer Exploit / Payload for License Files by Al Azif
We've covered some PlayStation 4 RIF Research, Findings, Samples and the PS4 IDX Generator / GenIDX Tool to make IDX files allowing the PS4 to see RIF activation files for application and game PKGs, and today following his recent PS4 Exploit Host v0.4.6 RC2 + Payloads developer @Al Azif shared on Twitter a PS4 RIF Renamer Exploit / Payload (RIF-Renamer.bin) which aims to fix applications that only work with Mira+HEN to use the standalone Homebrew ENabler.

According to the Tweet below he confirms it can be fixed via FTP also, but reminds everyone this is still in the testing phase although it currently works on his machine.
Here's further details from DEFAULTDNB, to quote:
Mira HEN installs games as FAKE style ticket, xVortex hen installs games as FREE.
This converts FAKE to FREE so they all will work on HEN 1.8.

Open-World Action Game American Fugitive Hits PS4 This Year, Demo
Slated for release on PlayStation 4 later this year comes American Fugitive which is an old school 'cops and robbers' open-world action game featuring a modern take on classic sandbox action.
Framed for your father's murder, you'll need to do whatever it takes to unveil the real culprit. Tackle thrilling missions for the criminal underworld - just don't let the cops track you down!
Below is a PS4 teaser trailer video alongside all the deets straight from Fallen Tree Games Art Director Lewis Boadle, to quote:
It was born out of a simple but captivating concept: Imprisoned for a murder you didn’t commit, you escape from jail and embark on a hunt to find the real culprit. We’re huge fans of 80’s movies, TV shows and games, and our intent was to create a game that paid homage to those thrills, while still being contemporary and fresh.
Although it’s clearly quite a different game compared with our last PlayStation title (Quell Memento for PS Vita), as individuals we have a solid pedigree of developing action titles (including TimeSplitters, Crysis, Black, and Goldeneye 007: Reloaded), so this project certainly feels like a return to our development roots.
American Fugitive is nearly ready to break out of its cell! We’re really proud of the open-world sandbox experience we’ve created, which has been built on three core gameplay foundations:
1: Breaking and Entering
Redrock County is a charming slice of rural America. We wanted to give the player free reign to break into any of the buildings across the area, in order to steal items to fence, change appearance, or find clues to the killer’s identity. Be warned: House-breaking is unpredictable and fraught with risk, but the payout can be oh so lucrative!
2: Driving
Wheels are of course integral to the American way of life, and no prison break is complete without a crazy carjacking spree! For us, there’s nothing more fun than skidding around dirt roads in a high-powered muscle car, and who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned cop-chase?
3: Combat
As you’d expect...
