Latest PlayStation VR Promo: Live the Game, Golem PS VR Lullaby Trailer
Today we have two new videos for PlayStation VR fans, the first being Sony's latest PS VR promo dubbed Live the Game and the other is the Lullaby trailer to the latest PSVR game Golem by Highwire Games just released today!
Personally I've never been too excited about virtual reality games, however, with next-gen PSVR 2 rumors and Augmented Reality patents surfacing it appears Sony intends to keep VR around awhile.
For those still considering jumping into the PlayStation VR virtual reality world, this holiday season a PSVR 5-Game Bundle for $199 may be just the nudge you need to finally take the plunge... check out the videos below!
PlayStation VR – Live the Game
From the video's description: With PlayStation VR, players can immerse themselves in new extraordinary worlds as they experience the game like never before. Live the game.

PS4 APU Floor Plan High-Resolution Die Shots & Vpikhur at Toorcon 2019
Those who enjoy PlayStation 4 eye candy may recall seeing PS4 System Controller High-Res Images awhile back, and recently Volodymyr Pikhur passed along some PS4 APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Floor Plan High-Resolution Die Shots from Oleg Kashirin and Fritzchens Fritz (Twitter) alongside slides and a PoC of Vpikhur's presentation at Toorcon 2019 via Twitter. 
Previously Vpikhur contributed to the PS4 IPL AES + HMAC Key Recovery Project, REcon 2018 PS4 Slides, PS4 Persistent Hack Notes, PS4 Kernel Dumper Original Exploit Code, the EAP work including side-channel analysis, glitching and ROM recovery for PS4 Aux Hax Parts 1-3 and EMC (External Micro Controller) key material recovery image traces in PS4 Aux Hax Part 4.
Excerpts from the embedded Tweets below:
So after discovering PlayStation 4 SAB BootROM it is now pretty straight forward to see where is AMD PSP BootROM sits just looking at high-res floor plan pictures.

JoystickUDP: Collection of Methods Using a PS4 Controller with UDPComms
Recently StanfordRoboticsClub shared on Github a collection of methods using a DualShock 4 PS4 Controller with UDPComms, which is a Python library to enable communication between different processes over a network using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for developers. 
Download: JoystickUDP-master.zip / GIT
According to the README.md it currently works in Python, but should be relatively simple to extend to C to run on embedded devices like Arduino.
Rover
The library also comes with the rover command that can be used to interact with the messages manually.
Known issues:
Macs have issues sending large messages. They are fine receiving them. I think it is related to THIS issue. I wonder does it work on Linux by chance (as the packets happen to be in order) but so far we didn't have issues.
this set of files should produce the necessary keys for the GP2040-CE PS4 Mode. You can quickly find it via google search but i've decided to put it here for you to use. This will make the device be able to skip 8 minute timeout

| rover poke port rate | send messages to port once every rate milliseconds. Type message in json format and press return |
