Just a small update to make the Tool working with Data Tables of PS4 RCO's. And noooooo that is not the new Tool that handles both Vita and PS4 RCO de and compiling.

Github Link as always... OpenSource.

And a FULL pkg so crap it while it's hot.

The Vita RCO Data Table Extractor can now also extract the data table of a PS4 RCO

It seems the PS4 hack from CTurt is working only on older Firmwares < 1.76 or lower. So I found some infos how you can get a PS4 with this Firmware.

The first PlayStation 4 bundles who where shipped is what you are looking for, from TheGuardian:

• PS4 Glacier white with Destiny Bundle
• Killzone Shadow Fall Launch Bundle (EAN: 0711719260783)
• Battlefield 4 Launch Bundle
• Knack launch Bundle
• “InFamous Second Son + Killzone Shadow Fall + Knack” Bundle
• NBA 2K14 Bundle
• FIFA 2K14 Bundle
• Dynasty Warriors 7 bundle
• Dynasty Warriors 8 bundle
• Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Bundle
• Infamous: Second Son launch bundle
• Watch_Dogs bundle
• Destiny Bundle (black)
• DriveClub Bundle (Black)
• DriveClub Bundle (Glacier white)
• Call of Duty: Ghost Bundle

PSDevWiki.com has posted the old bundles who where shipped with Firmware < 1.76.

But there is no released hack or CFW for the PS4 at the moment... it is just for your information about how to get a PS4 if the time is up and we need one with Firmware < 1.76.

Following the recent news of Naughty Dog disabling PS4 Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Beta game sharing, PlayStation 4 modders Xmax Katsu / EuroAli103 have released an Uncharted 4 Beta Unlock proxy application which allows users to download and install the Beta.

However, according to reports the Uncharted 4 PS4 Beta won't actually run unless you have a savegame of the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection on your PlayStation 4 console itself.

To quote from katsu: Uncharted 4 Beta Download Unlock

SERIOUS WARNING: Join the beta with a fake account, and a new PS4 user. NEVER use your main account.

The app works via a simple proxy. When you run the app, you are gonna see the psn store, login with a fake account (an account created only for this purpose). After that, buy a demo game on psn store, complete the purchase, Uncharted 4 beta will be added to your download list automatically. If you encounter an internet connection error, restart the app.

• Need NETframework 4+
• Test on win8-win10 work

App sourcecode by EuroAli103. Thanks a lot!

Finally, from Yifan Lu: Since apparently people here trust running random EXEs from strangers, there does not seem to be any (obvious) viruses. Although it does load a youtube video in the background for some odd reason.

The “trick” is changing the SKU of whatever you’re “purchasing” to EP9000-CUSA04051_00-UNCHARTED4MPBETA-E001 which, of course, lets you “purchase” the free beta. You can do it yourself without running an untrusted EXE by using firefox and modifying the request after checkout.

Just a quickie follow-up to the PS4 exploit news, PlayStation 4 developer Michael Coppola (aka mncoppola) is now seeking a PS4 1.76 console to further test on.

If anyone out there knows where he can grab one hit him up on Twitter below!

For those who've been following in recent months, PlayStation 4 developer CTurt has been hacking away at the PS4 until his hard drive failed last month:
Well, according to colleague Michael Coppola things may be taking a turn for the better in the PS4 hacking world finally!
What this holds for the future of our dear PlayStation 4 remains to be 'scene' (pun intended)!
