Earlier this week we saw a PS4 NID Resolver IDA Plugin for IDA Pro 7.0, and today developer aerosoul94 who made available IDA Game ELF Loaders for PS3 / PS Vita / Wii-U released a DYNLIB IDA Pro plugin to aid in reverse engineering PS4 user mode ELF's by loading the PS4 specific DYNLIBDATA segment data.

Download: dynlib-master.zip / GIT

From the README.md on his Github repository, to quote: DYNLIB

This is an IDA Pro plugin to aid in reverse engineering PS4 user mode elf's by loading the PS4 specific DYNLIBDATA segment.

Features

• Resolves obfuscated symbols NID's in order to label imports and exports
• Loads the symbol table
• Patches relocations

Building

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2017
• IDA *** (6.8 under Win32 Configuration, 7.0 under x64 Configuration)

You may need to reconfigure Additional Library Directories and Additional Include Directories to point to the correct path of your IDA *** installation.

Usage

dynlib.xml is a database of NID's and their matching original symbols. It is required in order to resolve NID's and must be kept updated in order to ensure the plugin can resolve more NID's.

You will need to install dynlib.xml and dynlib64.dll into IDA Pro's plugins folder.

Then you may either press Ctrl + F-10 or navigate to Edit > Plugins > DYNLIB. You will then need to choose the same PS4 elf originally loaded for the database.

Thanks to @HydrogenNGU for the news tip on Twitter earlier tonight!

Following their Ferrox PS3 Custom Firmware 4.82 v1.01 Cobra 7.55 update, today PlayStation 3 developer @Alexanderss released Ferrox PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) 4.82 NoBD Cobra 7.55 for those with broken, faulty or missing Blu-ray drives.

PUP MD5: 8f70b35dcfbcfdf9f99a2d6f8d686b7b

To quote from LizZo on CyberModding.it, roughly translated: Release - Custom Firmware FERROX 4.82 NoBD COBRA 7.55

Here is also the NoBD version as usual! This version of the FERROX Custom Firmware is designed for anyone who has a failed reader. In fact, the NoBD completely disables the reader, and with this the console returns to work fully. You can start Games and Homebrew without any mistake!

The FERROX NoBD COBRA 7.55 version imitates the normal COBRA version, with just the addition of the NoBD Patches. So I report the news in the new version COBRA 7.55 in case you missed them.

CHANGELOG COBRA 7.55:

• COBRA 7.54 - Fixed Bug in the installation of game updates with Syscalls disabled - Credits to Alexander, Aldostools, Joonie.
• COBRA 7.55 - Fixed Bug to delete game data / Applications / Homebrew with Syscalls Disabled - Credits to Alexander.

CFW CHARACTERISTICS:

• Built on the base of OFW 4.82 SONY.
• PSN / SEN Enabled.
• Ability to Update from any CFW (CEX).
• Possibility of Update from OFW 3.55 and from Original Firmware 4.82 [through PS3Xploit - compatible consoles only]
• Possibility of Downgrade from any CFW with active QA Flags.
• QA Flags active if previously enabled.
• FEATURE - COBRA Patches 7.55 added
• FEATURE - New Look of the XMB (See FERROX Mod Installer below).
• FEATURE - PS2 Games compatibility.
• FEATURE - PSP Games compatibility in ISO / Minis / Remaster format.
• FEATURE - Compatibility with the latest version of ReactPSN.
• FEATURE - RSOD...

If you've ever wanted to fly through the decaying heart of an inside-out planet, then InnerSpace by PolyKnight Games may be just the game for you... and it's launching on PS4 this coming January 16, 2017.

Check out the InnerSpace PS4 demonstration video below alongside details from CEO Eric Brodie, to quote:

We are happy to announce that InnerSpace is coming to PS4 on January 16! To commemorate our first game, we’re debuting our launch trailer, “Into the Inverse.” Enjoy the flight!

What is InnerSpace? On the surface, it’s an exploration flying game set in the Inverse, a universe of inside-out planets. Thematically, much of InnerSpace’s story is about cause and effect.

You come into the world at the tail end of civilization, and the ruins here tell an ancient story. Why is the world this way? How did it get this way? As the Cartographer, it’s your job to find out.

This isn’t quite a post-apocalyptic setting, of scorched earth and radiation. It has maintained its beauty in its decay. Some ruins remain, and life, as it tends to do, still lingers.

The landscapes have a story to tell, deliberately designed to hold true to the history of this place. It’s a colorful puzzle of sky and water, in the shadows of ancient gods, and we hope you enjoy putting the pieces together. If you believe something you see has meaning, it was most likely intentional.

So, when you hop into InnerSpace, I hope you question everything you see. This world is open to interpretation, and every experience will be different. When in doubt, just keep flying, and the secrets of the Inverse will reveal themselves.
