PS4 CFW and Hacks

It's been a few weeks since his last update followed by some UI Modding Database Info, and so today PlayStation 4 modder e✘treme shared a fresh demo video of his latest version 1.76 PS4 UI Mod 0.10 Alpha visual debug home menu!

To quote from his page: PS4 1.76 – Debug Home Menu (Visual Mod)

Here you can see a small update of my PS4 1.76 UI Mod. It's still in alpha version and without function yet.

★APP_Home is only the OMSK App and ★Debug Settings has been changed with the Capture Gallery.

Hopefully there is a way to enable NPXS29998, NPXS29999 and NPXS20993 directly in the Home Menu.
Thanks to @B7U3 C50SS for letting us know of the update in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!

Just over a year ago this month some may recall a bunch of Sony PlayStation 4 files leaked including PS4 PKG Tools, Passcodes, Fingerprint Keys, Trilithium and the WebMAF PS4 *** by vapour on iRC #ps4dev for PS4 developers including ZiL0G80.

Today @joona70 shared an untested Retail PKG port from the WebMAF *** version in the Shoutbox that uses the 1.70 Firmware Webkit for developers to try out and report their results back on.

Here's an excerpt from the Shoutbox as well:

Thanks to @joona70 for the heads-up, to @PixelButts for testing and any other developers who provide feedback on it below.

A few weeks back we posted on the GTA 5 Redux Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) Mod for PC gamers, and recently ChoicesZ Bad (aka @BadChoicesZ) with the help of @kurt2467 (aka DexmodderFTW) shared a demo video of what they label as PS4 GTAV Modded with native code rumored to be called via the PS4 1.76 Playground.

From the video's description, to quote:

Sample of GTAV Modding on PS4 1.76 FW (Spoofed to 4.06)
This is created by BadChoicesZ, and Kurt (DexmodderFTW)
Huge thanks to Kurt for his assistance/code.

Here's a snippet from the Shoutbox on the video demo:
Spoiler
As @VultraAID and @HYTR mentioned they may be using GTA V cheats, while @PS4HELPER123 points out the spoof'd native code is done via the 1.76 Playground.

If anyone has more information on this holla in the comments below, or it may end up the same as the rumored PS4 Jailbreak 4.05 did being 'fake' according to @B7U3 C50SS.

Finally, below is what appears to be another PS4 GTA5 Mod via @PS4HELPER123 as well to examine- enjoy all!

Following their previous PS4 1.76 UI Mod and PS4 Custom Home Menu updates, this weekend e✘treme updated it to PS4 UI Mod version 0.09 Alpha with some screenshots below.

To quote, roughly translated: "I worked on my 1.76 Mod further and Version 0.09 Alpha is finished.

Any changes in the user interface and the Home Menu are only visually, so debug settings are not in function."
