Half-Life Blue Shift PS4 PKG Mod by Markus95 is Now Available
On this last day of 2018, following his recent Streets Of Rage Final Version PS4 Mod PKG release PlayStation 4 developer @Markus95 returns bringing a Half-Life Blue Shift PS4 PKG modification via Twitter based on the unofficial PS2 Port from supadupaplex! 
Download: Half-Life_Blue_Shift.pkg (368.63 MB)
To quote from the blog post at Logic-Sunrise.com, roughly translated: [PS4] Half-Life Blue Shift v1.0
In order to make the most homebrew available on PS4, here is a new PKG compatible 4.05, 4.55, 4.74 and 5.05 of a Half-Life Blue Shift mod born by supadupaplex on PS2.
I said PS2 porting is not mine, I only built the PS4 PKG in order to launch it on PS4, all the work goes to supadupaplex that brought this project to PS2, I only did compile the PKG to facilitate its use for PS4 users.
For more information on this PS2 porting go here.
Changelog 1.0:

Changelog 1.0:
- The game is completely stable now. Instabilities were caused by a bug in the game code: reference to every used file is stored in RAM inside special section and unused references are never cleared. When this file reference list goes out of bounds all sorts of crazy things can happen. So I made a hack that increases size of this section from ~206KiB to 512KiB
- Added save game isolation to prevent crashes by loading saves from wrong games
- Merged HD and SD models into one ISO and made in-game selector to choose between them
- Added an option to play with Dreamcast models (and maps)
- I found out that I messed up soundtrack in previous builds. Correct PC soundtrack would play now if you choose to play with PC models and authentic Dreamcast soundtrack would play if you choose to play with Dreamcast or PS2 models
- There should be less rescaling artifacts on map textures
- Lots of other small improvements that I forgot about

PS4 6.20 Method: Activate PSN Accounts with Games via Jose Coixao!
Following his previous PS4 Game Backup on DevKit PoC, P.T. (Playable Teaser) on PS4 Retail Demo and PS4 Top Secret Method for Games announcement from @zecoxao, today he shared on Twitter the PS4 6.20 method to add and activate PSN accounts with games on the PlayStation 4 via Jose Coixao! 
While various PSN Account Sharing / PS4 Game Sharing Methods and the related PS4 Mod-Chips have been around for years, according to the YouTube video details this release method's credit goes to @rmorteza21 (aka @rmorteza21p) with special thanks to the king of kondeh.
Note: For those on lower PS4 Firmware it's recommended NOT to update your PS4 console for this method, as $ony is likely to patch it very soon and then you'll be stuck with a PlayStation 4 console that can't run backup games, emulators, exploits and homebrew with no way of downgrading the PS4 once the 'temporary' method is patched.
Update: The method is now confirmed to be patched as expected!
