PS4 CFW and Hacks

Last month we caught a glimpse at his AppendumPS4 v2.00, and this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @DeathRGH is back via Twitter showcasing a PS4 Tool Box V2 Preview with Updated Terraria Tool on his YouTube Channel.

Here's what he had to say from the video's description, to quote:

I decided to update the terraria tool from the old PS4 Toolbox. It automatically downloads item images as well as names off of the terraria wiki. Images that have been requested once are cached and will be loaded quicker the next time!

If you have any suggestions or wishes for other tools let me know in the comments or in the Discord Server!

According to kd_tech, the ETA of the OpenOrbis DevKit is tentatively scheduled for release on May 11th, 2020 supporting 4.05-5.05 FW consoles until a new PS4 jailbreak is publicly released.
