Following his recent PS4 Playground 1.50b Port, PlayStation 4 developer zecoxao with help from VVildCard777 added PlayStation 4 Webkit Playground 1.52 and 1.60 Firmware ports to Github today for those seeking to examine pre-2.00 OFW versions before Sony ramped up the security.

Another PS4 Github update comes from shakugan who recently shared a WIP called PS4Misc by esc0rtd3w for those seeking to run things outside the PlayStation 4 browser.

Currently their PlayStation 4 Playground WebKit exploit forks include support for PS4 firmware 1.76 / 1.60 / 1.52 / 1.50b / 1.01 only at the moment.

As @zecoxao notes below, to quote: 1.51 playground is not possible at the moment (missing a gadget that is not on main modules) and 1.61 playground is the exact same as 1.60.

And from the PS4Misc README.md file, to quote: if u want to run stuff outside the browser:

place a loader in /data/rcved

export ps4ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

cd function_hook make ./run.sh cd shellcore_inject make ./run.sh press home and do something like opening a non-granted pkg

at this point the 2nd loader should be running

rerun the kernel hooks outside the browser cd function_hook ./stage2.sh
Cheers to both @Bultra and @oneman123 in the...

If you're into PS3 game mods you may want to check out the WEBRTM PS3 SPRX / EBOOT Project from @01cedric and Swaqq which aims to allow modding directly from your browser without any IP required!

Here's what PlayStation 3 developer 01cedricv2 on NGU had to say about their new project, to quote:

Hey NGU Members! Special Version made exclusively for NextGenUpdate with

Current Version:

• >>> 0.001 <<< [Alpha]

Supported Games:

• BO2 [ ✓ ]
• BO1 [ ✓ ] (is broken at the moment... working on a FIX!)

Planned Games:

• MW2
• MW3
• Ghosts
• AW
• BO3

It was & still is my first every php & html project i've ever made... So please understand and dont tell me, when the code isn't fancy enough 4 u I havent saw anything like this yet (beside some things using a C# Listener...).

I've simply used HTTP Requests within a SPRX which is, in my and others opinion, better than using some C# Application on the users PC. Anyway... I've created this for FREE, as of in my opinion, their is not much $$$ to get from it. That's why i will do this Project for FREE... Lets get to it, instead of let you listen to me talking about crap, nobodys interested in

STEPS

1) Go to the WEBRTM Website and sign up/sign in... WEBRTM - Login (No email verification needed as of now, as of it is a PUBLIC Test, and i am not here to collect Data from you )

2) After you've logged in, you should be redirected to the Mainpage, which looks like this:


You'll see all instructions on their + an additional Download to the SPRX & EBOOT

3) Follow Instructions on the Website and a Video will be uploaded and added on here shortly! So keep an eye out for it

I would like to hear suggestions of new Mods or even Games you'd like to see

I will update the WEBRTM most likely daily.

Download: WEBRTM - SPRX + EBOOT

It is just a SPRX + 2 EBOOTs (BO1 & BO2) in a .zip archive!

Since their MiralaTijera PS3 CFW, Spanish PlayStation developers MiraLaTijera and Draqen made available MLTActivator 1.0 followed by MLTactivatorFIX2.vpk to activate PS Vita consoles offline since act.dat licensing issues were reported after PSN activation on 3.60 was patched by Sony.

This comes after PlayStation Vita developer BenMitnicK compiled Adrenaline CFW with uma0 support for those who missed it.

Download: MLTactivator.vpk (446 KB) / MLTactivator.vpk (Mirror) / English Translated Version (446 KB) by TechThomas / MLTactivatorFIX2.vpk

To quote from DrNefarious, roughly translated: MLTactivator activates your vita offline system

Update: fixed the problem of the airplane mode in PSTV.

Exclusive from MiraLaTijera and Draqen. Well if MiraLaTijera returns to the big after its Cfw in Ps3, now returns in PsVita.

With MLTactivator we can activate our system psvita offline. So we can use adrenaline.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

IF YOU WANT TO FORMAT THE SD WE CANCEL YOU, AND WE GO TO A. HENKAKU SETTINGS / SETTINGS / UNLOCK MEMORY CARD AND RESTART. Delete the tai folder from ux0.

WARNING:

• MtlActivator makes a backup of your current user, since it will be replaced by an activated user.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO THE STORE OR RISK OF DIRECT BAN.
• The application installs a plugin from scratch, so the config file will be empty of plugins that we have installed.
• Being a new user, everything we have of the old user in QCMA will...
