PS4 CFW and Hacks

Since the PCSX-R Emulator PS4 PKG release, PlayStation 4 developer @Markus95 (aka @Kus00095) shared a demonstration video of a new homebrew game in development for PS4, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch called Ninja Shodown... not to be confused with the official Ninja Shodown PSN video game from Rising Star Games which is currently available on PlayStation Store.

According to his Ninja Shodown preview update on Twitter, the WIP game still contains some bugs that are being sorted out at the moment.

Check out the preview demonstration video embedded below!

Also below is gameplay footage from the official Ninja Shodown Nintendo Switch / PC / PS4 / Xbox One title for those interested:

Following the Spider-Man PS4 Models & Textures Tool and IG PS4 Modding Tools, this weekend RDR2 modder @jedijosh920 (Web site / Twitter) shared on his YouTube Channel some demonstration videos of Red Dead Redemption 2 player model swap modding as a bear, an Aberdeen pig farmer, original John Marston in Epilogue and most recently as birds.

According to the video comments, for swapping RDR2 models he's using his own tool and not planning to release it... while others have suggested the mods may be done using a director mode, Rockstar editor, PS4 Save Wizard or Testkit mod menus.

If anyone has more information on these RDR2 mods let us know in the comments below, or perhaps drop by JediJosh920's Discord Channel to further inquire about them if you wish.

About

This application is much convenient than uploading the images manually for many reasons :-

• This tool will take the game title and search for the CUSA type of the game from your system so you don't have to search CUSA of the game anymore
• It'll resize the images for you to the required size so you no longer need to use any applications or whatsoever to do so.

Not only that but it also count how many images are required for each game (icon) some games require only 2 images while others require more, so no longer counting them by yourself it'll count and overwrite them.

• This tool will connect to your PS4 system through FTP directly so you no...
