PS4 CFW and Hacks

Following their previous revision, today the PlayStation 4 modders of e✘treme made available a new PS4 1.76 UI Mod Alpha 0.13 Custom Home Menu demonstration video with details below.

Download: UI Mod

To quote from e✘treme-Modding.de: Info: The Games folder in the Home Menu appear if you have installed CUSA00851 and the app.db (Database_UK) work only if your System Language is English (United Kingdom).

Trophy Edit will not work if you have earned Trophys already. GAME Launcher and APP_Home (data) appear if you have installed GTA V Disc (CUSA00411) and OMSK (NPXS29005).

PSN User Avatar is only for a PS4 with PSN User and you have to edit the file with your own link because Sony has blocked e✘treme-Modding.de on 1.76.

We've also seen some PS4 Webkit Emulators, a PS4 JavaScript Emulator demonstration, a GameCube / Wii Dolphin Emulator on PS4 Linux and most recently details on the PS2 Emulation / Directory Structure on PS4.

This weekend PlayStation 4 homebrew developer BigBoss shared a brief teaser preview on Twitter stating "Do you wanna have fun with your PlayStation 4?" as the caption with a picture below of the 1987 Konami MSX game titled Nemesis 2 running on what appears to be a PS4 port of one of the many MSX Emulators.

As we await further details on this emulation project and hopefully a public PS4 scene release, those like myself looking to get your retrogaming on can do so right from your PC or smartphone with the latest MAME or...
