Previously we saw a bit on the PlayStation 4 DevKit IDU and E3 modes, and now ZiL0G80 (aka Z80) is back accompanied by notzecoxao with some information on the PS4 development console settings.

Essentially PlayStation 4 DevKit's can be intdev or extdev, intdev (QA flagged) have VSH debug menu enabled for internal Sony PS4 developers according to @oneman123 while @zecoxao also notes that beyond the 3 modes (Assist, Dev and Release) there is a 4th mode available only in internal consoles.

Finally, courtesy of @SockNastez comes some interesting PlayStation 3 online ban tips in the PSXHAX Shoutbox, as follows to quote: Here are things people don't realize:

• First off Sony's servers look at the PS3s CA Cert to see if it's on a lower firmware spoofing. If it is BAN. Most games like GTA V actually have their own CFW and mod detecting files. If you play online on DEX that is something Sony can see and ban you for.
• PSNPatch only helps it doesn't make you some modding god who can't get banned.
• About the IP ban yes, they will ban your IP so you can't access playstation.com if you get banned.

• An ftp payload to dump the files from app0
• Knowledge about the previous tutorials i wrote, namely pfs bypass and decrypt games
• (Optional) The game's icons (you'll need the original pkg for this and @flatz's awesome python...
