Hello World! I've been reporting on Sony PlayStation hacking news since 2000 and started PSXHAX in 2014 to cover PlayStation (PSX), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), PlayStation TV (PS TV) and next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) platforms along with anything else of interest.

Earlier today we covered the PS4 MTX Key Resellers, and for those interested in further homebrew / non-profit development comes a preliminary PS4 MTX Key ModChip hardware analysis for the gamesharing method used on PlayStation 4.
PS4 MATRiX Key is polished, so according to the photo can not be analyzed. Only from the PS4 fly line chip start.
PS4 1000,1100 models are MX25L25635FMI-10G 16-pin
PS4 1200, Slim, Pro is on MX25L25635FZ2I-10G 8 pin
Capacity 256Mb (32MB), is SCEI CXD90025G ARM low power coprocessor use. Sony does not explain the role of the CPU, but now generally speculation for the network, DRM and other background behavior. MTX 6 fly lines are respectively.
MX25L25635FMI-10G
MX25L25635FZ2I-10G
CS # Chip Select
SCLK Clock Input
SI / SIO0 Serial Data Input (for 1 x I / O) or Serial Data Input & Output (for 2x I / O or 4x I / O read mode)
SO / SIO1 Serial Data Input (for 1 x I / O) or Serial Data Input & Output (for 2x I / O or 4x I / O read mode)
VCC + 3V DC Power Supply
GND Ground
In conclusion:
The MTX Key deletes the coprocessor by writing data to NOR Flash. So that the PSN wrong that the PS4 has been lifted commonly used, but the actual PS4 did not lift. The biggest problem with this approach is whether Sony blocks the crack through system updates.
If you're interested in the MTX Key PS4 ModChip even though it's likely to be patched by Sony in their next PlayStation 4 Firmware update below are the latest demo videos of it with an MTX Key Reseller List that we'll periodically update... and no, unfortunately the guy in the picture isn't @UmarDaBest559
If anyone knows of other PS4 ModChip MTX Key resellers let us know in the comments below, and when possible please link to their actual product page to make updating the above Reseller Listing...
We've seen some PS4 Pro 4K Output footage alongside a glimpse of it on PlayStation VR, and today Polyphony Digital announced that Gran Turismo Sport launches this October 17th on PS4 with some trailer videos of the legendary racing simulator below!
To quote from Gran Turismo Creator Kazunori Yamauchi: Hello GT Fans! I'm extremely excited to confirm that Gran Turismo Sport will be launching on October 17 in North America.
Following the successful completion of our Closed Beta phase, as announced earlier this week, we are now entering the final stages of polishing as we prepare for launch.
Between now and launch you can expect to hear a lot more from the GT team as we unveil more information on the many features included in Gran Turismo Sport, including the campaign mode, various creative tools, as well as a full reveal on all the cars and tracks you can look forward to racing on launch day!
In the meantime, I'd like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and PDI to express my gratitude for the continued support of GT fans and PlayStation supporters around the world during this beta period.
We're as keen as all of you to get the game into players' hands, and can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the game when it launches in October.
We've strived to create something that delivers an unprecedented experience in terms of the graphics, sound, and physics simulation; an experience that can only be enjoyed on PlayStation.
Gran Turismo Sport is available to pre-order now from both PlayStation Store and retailers across the United States. We’ve plenty of choices available to GT fans to help select the right edition for them...
On top of the Standard Edition full game, we've also got several options for fans:
Gran Turismo Sport Limited Edition – $69.99 MSRP ($89.99 CAN)
Following yesterday's MTX Key Video comes another lackluster demonstration of the MTX Key that supports PlayStation 4 Slim and PS4 Pro on PS4 Firmware 4.72, this time from Firstsing China's YouTube Channel which also offers a plethora of (you guessed it folks) FIDGET SPINNERS!!!
If you've ever wondered how many different ways a Fidget Spinner can be knocked off, check out some of their footage HERE, HERE and HERE.
The PS4 MTX Key English Installation / Instruction Manual can be found below via WestinGames, and is essentially the same as the original but with English pictures.
For those who missed it, the MTX Key clones are based off @freeplex (Twitter) of Triada-Service.ru's device pictured HERE, and as a result of being betrayed by the Chinese cloners he's since contacted Sony to help them patch the security holes... so it would probably be wise not to jump on the PS4 ModChip bandwagon just yet.
