Last month PlayStation 4 developer BigBoss revealed the PS4 Camera Auxiliary Ports for PS4Eyecam followed by a PS4 Kernel Analysis by CTurt, and today BigBoss shared some updated information on the PS4 Camera Firmware for developers.

He also confirmed he's working on a PS4 Camera Firmware Kernel Analysis in his Tweets below, as follows:


It's great to see PS4 developers making progress with Sony's PlayStation 4 console, we'll be sure to keep an EYE on this project as it develops further!

Following rumors of a PS4 Jailbreak USB Whistle & CFW, today juampa21 of ConsoleCrunch.com reports news of an upcoming PS4 Cobra USB Game Emulator (DRM Device) with details below.

To quote: "Hello dear crunchers its juampa21 and today I bring you some exciting news about the PS4 scene!

So according to the Cobra Team they are planning to announce and release the COBRA USB PS4 game emulator which will make PS4 users be able to enable homebrew applications and may allow play non-copyrighted downloaded games on their PS4 system!

Here i provide you some images about the post!"

That said, if anyone has an account there and can mirror the pictures elsewhere we'll add them to this article as well.

PSA: For those considering such a DRM device, keep in mind the notorious history of ringleaders Max Louarn (aka MAXiMiLiEN of Paradox) and Gary Wayne Bowser (aka GaryOPA) of the Cobra Team... over the years they've profited from countless scene developers work wrapping it in their own digital rights management packages including the original PSJailbreak, TrueBlue dongle, etc instead of keeping the scene FREE and OPEN SOURCE.

Thanks @sEKTOR for the news tip!

Updated from Wololo, to quote: ''So is this a mutating rumor here? The author of the originating “news” does not point to any source for his information, and has been a member of the forum where the rumor was initially posted, for less than 2 month.

I contacted people close to the Cobra team who have told me Team Cobra is not currently working on the PS4. The only ongoing known project of Team Cobra is the Cobra Blackfin for PS Vita, which has been...

I will add this to our practically dormant Microsoft section here as well from PS4 News, where a trick similar to the PS4 PSN Method apparently has been found to run game backups on XBox One now using the Durango X-DK (XBox One *** - 473.9 MB / Documentation / XboxOneOS.rar - 707.12 MB) from H4LT with details below.

To quote from XBoxOne.sk, roughly translated: "It was not that long and the Xbox One is already reportedly hacked.

It seems that a group of hackers / crackers, call it as you want, find a way to install games to the console without having to pay for the games. This whole report comes from India, where on one of the forums thread has appeared where the Xbox One for sale and pre-loaded games. The console can send them to or buy directly from them.

Initially, there were responses that it is a scam, but it did not take long, and some members of the Forum undertook to take that chance and then confirm that you really get your Xbox back with a 1TB HDD full games.

On the train, I found over 20 people who confirmed that it is not a scam and a photo as evidence, and it was a long-time visitors to the forum, some already registered in 2011 more than a thousand entries.

This report is not spread too far, but apparently everything is possible thanks to the *** package, which published the team H4LT in December 2014.

For about 10 Euros you can have 30 full games, at least such is the price currently.

Very interesting what you say? It seems that while their trick secret and his 'hack' just a regional spread."
