Orbital: Experiments in PS4 Emulation by AlexAltea & OrbisPro by SvenGDK
Earlier this year we got a first look at PlayStation 4 Virtualization by @AlexAltea, and recently he shared on Twitter an experiments in PS4 emulation video from his YouTube Channel demonstrating the Orbital PS4 emulator currently in development. 
Download: orbital-master.zip / GIT
He also tweeted he'll be present at this year's 35C3 event stating the following, to quote: "Flying to #35C3. I'll be around the emulation assembly, otherwise reachable @ 8180 (GSM): mostly CTFing, having tschunks and working on Orbital, my LLE PS4 emulator (sneak peek below). Happy holidays!"
And from the video's description: Experiments in PS4 emulation. Current status:
Orbital #1: User Interface
Orbital #2: Graphical Output
Experiments in PS4 emulation. Current status: After last update, we have reimplemented large parts of the PS4 GPU graphics pipeline using Vulkan and recompiling AMD GCN bytecode into SPIR-V. This finally allows us to "see" the Safe Mode menu, booted from a PS4 5.xx kernel.
At the moment, we receive a CE-343* issue which indicates a PS4 HDD failure. This error is to be expected since we have booted the PS4 kernel without a valid HDD image.
In the future Safe Mode menu will have an important role when booting...

And from the video's description: Experiments in PS4 emulation. Current status:
- All drivers initialize correctly.
- VFS is successfully loaded.
- First userland application, /mini-syscore.elf, is decrypted and launched successfully.
- Shortly after /SceSysAvControl.elf is launched which successfully handles system events.
- Simultaneously, mini-syscore detects an issue with the HDD, which is to be expected during first-time boots, and launches /safemode.elf.
- The system enters Safe Mode successfully, but gets frozen while rendering the safe mode menu.

Rock Band 4 (RB4) Custom PS4 DLC Building Tools & Guide by Maxton
On this Christmas Day following his PS4 PFS Extractor Tool, GameArchives updates, MakePFS Utility for building PlayStation File System images and recent LibOrbisPKG Library for generating PS4 DLC packages developer maxton shared on Twitter a guide on creating Rock Band 4 (RB4) customs alongside some demo videos on his YouTube Channel! 
Check it out below, to quote from Maxton: [How-To] Playing Customs on PS4 (BETA)
A word of warning: the tools used to build DLC for Rock Band 4 are still unfinished, so keep in mind that errors and bugs may abound. Until this changes consider this a BETA/PRERELEASE. Please report all the issues you run into either in this thread or on GitHub!
1. Prerequisites
The first thing that you must do is set up HEN on your PS4. There are many guides online on how to do this, but the general idea is that you visit a webpage, either in the web browser or by redirecting the user manual, and the webpage automatically jailbreaks your system and sets up a Homebrew ENabler (HEN). This is what allows you to install custom PKGs that the PS4 will accept as DLC.

1. Prerequisites
- A PS4 with firmware 5.07 or lower (personally, I am on 5.05)
- Rock Band 4, either already installed digitally on the PS4 or as a Blu-Ray copy (it is not possible to install RB4 digitally on 5.07 or lower anymore due to no PSN access)
- A Windows PC or Mac/Linux with Mono installed
