According to reports, as manufacturing nears completion and with Sony postponing the unveiling the likelihood of PS5's design leaking early increases... since the initial patent, leaked images and PS5 DevKits surfacing the latest patent reveals the PS5 Development Kit (DevKit)'s cooling system.

With the temperature rising outside lately, it's definitely an opportune time to examine the PS5 DevKit cooling system... hopefully Sony put as much thought into the retail PlayStation 5's cooling system design and efficiency as well.

Update: Another Testing Kit for PlayStation 5 patent document also surfaced via FCC ID CCAB20LP129BT4 revealing the PS5 CP (Communication Processor) Box with the SONY DFI-T1000AA PDF now available.

Also making rounds in the PlayStation 4 scene on Twitter today is...

Proceeding the MyTrophies PS4 Trophy Calculator for use on jailbroken PlayStation 4 consoles running PS4HEN comes BitHunter, which is a Python-based tool to extract / pull information from PS4 game trophies, apply custom frames to the trophy images and export PS4 trophy lists by AlexKalopsia of Kalopsia Games.

Download: BitHunter (Latest Version) / GIT

This comes following the Reverse Engineering PS4 Trophies documentation and PS4 Tools updates by thedarkprogr, and here's further details from the BitHunter README.md: How to use

When you run BitHunter, you have two options, adding frames to local images (typing 0), or pulling the images from the web.

If you want to apply a custom frame to the images, create one called frame.png and place it inside the root folder.

Pulling from the web

BitHunter will ask you to type a GameID. This can be found in the game page as part of the game's URL

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/GameID-game-name

After pressing Enter, BitHunter will start pulling the game data:

• If you have set your configuration file with exportTrophyInfo set to true, a file named gameID-gameName.csv will be saved in the root folder.
• If you have set yout configuration file with storeOriginals set to true, the original non-framed images will be stored in /originals.
• If you have set your configuration file with processOriginals set to true, the trophy images will be processed with the applied frame image and saved in /processed.
