Since the announcement earlier this week via Twitter, PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao released a proof-of-concept (PoC) guide on playing the Minecraft Trial on a Retail PS4 console. :notworthy:

Additionally, he revealed the next game they're working on is P.T. (many may recall Playable Teaser was also decrypted, extracted and mined by PS4 devs) and even hinted that some people are working on PS4 homebrew also! :ninja:

PS4 Game Backups Revisited on PlayStation 4 v1.76 Retail Consoles
We covered this a few times already so it's not entirely new, but to recap briefly many may recall PS4 game backups ran on PS4 DevKit / TestKit consoles, the PS4 Retail / Debug Game Transfusion Guide, PFS Findings and more recently the PS4 Retail PKG to Debug PKG Conversion... now PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao announced on Twitter that PS4 game backups on retail 1.76 consoles will soon be a thing that those outside of private groups can finally make use of! :hearteyes:

Before getting too excited, he states in the tweets (below) that it's currently for Firmware 1.76 and below titles... and @SpecterDev also notes via Twitter that later PS4 Firmware incorporates additional protection checks in the kernel meaning it's probably wise not to hold your breath just yet waiting to play newer PS4 game backups until a more recent kernel exploit surfaces publicly. :oopsxf2:

Below are some related Tweets for those who still have a 1.76 PlayStation 4 console that hasn't been updated yet:

PSVGameSD: PS Vita Virtual Game Card by Motoharu Gosuto Arrives!
Considered by some to be the final nail in Cobra Blackfin's coffin and following the recent NoNpDrm v1.0 and VitaShell v1.74 releases, today PlayStation Vita developer Motoharu Gosuto made available PSVGameSD which is a PS Vita Virtual Game Card application and kernel plugin that finally allows users to produce true 1:1 game card backup dumps and run them! :angel:

Download: psvgamesd.skprx / psvgc.vpk / GIT

In addition, PlayStation Vita scene developer Yifan Lu suggests siteops should nuke all of the previous PS Vita scene dumps since the new .psv ROM format preserves one-to-one dumps of physical games with no per-game patches needed with both a feedback page and a PS Vita Dumper Comparison Chart available.

To quote from the README.md file: PS Vita - Virtual Game Card

User application and kernel plugin that allow to produce game card dumps and run them.

Introduction

  • Produce 1 to 1 dumps of game cards.
  • Introduce functionality that allows to run these dumps.
