With PlayStation Vue, we strive to deliver the best TV experience, and have made numerous upgrades since launching our service two years ago. For avid sports fans and those new to the PS Vue service, we’ve put together a recap of some of the top features and enhancements that make the sports viewing experience even better.

Multi-view on PlayStation 4

One of our most popular features, multi-view, allows users to stream up to three live shows – all on one screen. Just press and hold X on any live TV program from the Guide or Live TV row of the home screen to open up the selection screen for multi-view.

Through the pop up menu, choose either two or three multi-view screens. Select any other live programing from the Live TV strand and start viewing multiple programs at once. To switch programs within the multi-view screen, press Square on your DualShock 4. To move a program to the main screen, just highlight the smaller screen and press Square.

Live Scores on PS4, PS3, Android, Amazon Fire TV and PC/Mac Web Browsers

Real-time sports scores let you keep up with your favorite games at a glance. You can turn the feature on or off in the Settings menu depending on your preference.

Simultaneous Streaming for Multiple Devices

PlayStation Vue provides the most simultaneous streams at no extra...

With whispers of good things to come for those on PS4 OFW 3.55 to 4.07 in the Shoutbox, following their previous updates and the recent PS4 Debug Settings Payload to fully enable them on PlayStation 4 v1.76 consoles e✘treme-Modding.de shared a video demonstrating their PS4 1.76 UI Mod with Full Debug Settings below.

PS4 1.76 UI Mod Full Debug Settings

To quote from their page: Last year PS4 Developers (flat_z and CTurt) found the code to enable the Debug Settings on 1.76 Retail Consoles.

Developer j0lama shared a Payload to enable full Debug Settings. You can also have more options by loading two Kernel Exploits (Payloads).

First execute j0lama’s Patch and then the Dlclose Payload to enable the Advanced Dev Menu.

Thanks to @Figure03 for sharing the news in the PSXHAX Shoutbox early yesterday morning!

Following the PS4 PUP_Decrypt / PUP_Unpack releases and PS4 Jailbreak v1.01 Exploit, Linux guru masterzorag shared a comparison difference between 4.07 and 4.55 inner PUP files encrypted data and SceEapCore.elf from 1.01 via a jailbroken PS4 1.76 console with developers.

Here are the details from his Blog Post this past May that we missed until now, to quote: PS4 PUP

Just curious about this updating system images:


Diff between 4.07 and 4.55 PUP files inside PS4UPDATE system, encrypted data.

Some slices of data are the same, even if encrypted. First eight bytes remains the same.

As seen in 1.01:

If you haven't voted yet drop by This Week's Poll to do so, and here are some MTX Key ModChip installation process videos for a PS4 Pro 1TB console from Indonesian shop YoyoStation Shop via their YouTube Channel with pages on both Bukalapak.com and Tokopedia.com for those interested.

Dare we ask... does anyone know what 'not gangbang' means, roughly translated?
