Since their MiralaTijera PS3 CFW, Spanish PlayStation developers MiraLaTijera and Draqen made available MLTActivator 1.0 followed by MLTactivatorFIX2.vpk to activate PS Vita consoles offline since act.dat licensing issues were reported after PSN activation on 3.60 was patched by Sony.

This comes after PlayStation Vita developer BenMitnicK compiled Adrenaline CFW with uma0 support for those who missed it.

To quote from DrNefarious, roughly translated: MLTactivator activates your vita offline system

Update: fixed the problem of the airplane mode in PSTV.

Exclusive from MiraLaTijera and Draqen. Well if MiraLaTijera returns to the big after its Cfw in Ps3, now returns in PsVita.

With MLTactivator we can activate our system psvita offline. So we can use adrenaline.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

IF YOU WANT TO FORMAT THE SD WE CANCEL YOU, AND WE GO TO A. HENKAKU SETTINGS / SETTINGS / UNLOCK MEMORY CARD AND RESTART. Delete the tai folder from ux0.

WARNING:

• MtlActivator makes a backup of your current user, since it will be replaced by an activated user.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO THE STORE OR RISK OF DIRECT BAN.
• The application installs a plugin from scratch, so the config file will be empty of plugins that we have installed.
• Being a new user, everything we have of the old user in QCMA will...

If you're using PS3 Game Injection Methods on Official Firmware (OFW) then you may want to check out PS3 Convert & Inject v1 for game injecting by PlayStation 3 developer @SvenGDK.

He's on Twitter, and to quote from his official Site: Looks like I missed the backup injection method in the last months... Created my own tool which covers the most steps

PS3 Convert & Inject v1 is now available. Feel free to try it out!

Release notes v1:

• Convert multiple PS3 games at once
• Creates and manages game folders auto. (renaming BLES->NPEA ..)
• Find Updates on EurAsia.nu
• Extract .pkg files
• Create an entire new backup with selected games
• Inject games to your existing backup
• Creates dev_hdd0 at games folder to save space or creates an entire new working directory

Little how-to:

• Create a backup on your ps3 with the backup utility and copy it to your pc
• Select your folder with your normal ps3 backups (unpacked)
• Select on the list which games should be converted & wait
• For each game you have to find an update (Please note max. 4.70! Check other tools/websites for game updates too!)
• Extract the downloaded .pkg files and copy/move the BLESxxxxx/BLUSxxxxx folder to your ps3 backups folder (selected in the second step)
• Now, for each extracted folder copy the EBOOT.BIN file from PKG/USRDIR/ to your converted game NPXX/USRDIR/
• Your games are now ready to be injected into a backup
• Now go to Backup Manager and select your ps3 backup folder from the first step and your ps3 backups folder containing the NPEB/NPEA/.. & BLES/BLUS/... folders
• The list will load and can also contain unconverted games, so please look at the paths or create an extra directory for the converted games
• Select which games should be injected (SELECT ALSO THE UPDATE FOLDERS BLES/BLUS/... !!!)
• Click on Inject and relax. Depending on your system and game size this can take a...

While there are several PS3 OFW Methods and some older games that work on PS3 OFW 4.81 without a second console on Custom Firmware, it's time to reveal the final method to running PlayStation 3 game backups on 4.81. NO CFW/ODE/another bs.

Be careful, there is a very high PSN ban risk. Already I lost few IDPS while online by testing this method. If you get banned on undowngradable console you got ban forever. Prefer to stay at 4.70 or to play offline.

This method I found few months later I decided to publish.

1. Put an original disc to your PS3. This game should be released after 2012! (these games already have lic.dat).
2. Download any game what you want.
3. Download game patch to this downloaded game.
4. Unpack patch to downloaded game replace everything you can.
5. Open now param.sfo
6. Change Title ID to your original disc game. Example I put to PS3 Uncharted 2 so I change title id to: BCES00757
7. Rename PS3_GAME folder to your original disc game on PS3 TITLEID Example BCES00757
8. Inject with TABR.
9. Start your game from BD. Now PS3 will start your game from patch.

Enjoy you tricked PS3 and launch another game from patch.
Nice security. LOLz.

Since the PS4 Playground 1.76, 3.55 Port, PS4 Playground 1.01, 1.05 Port, 3.x Playground and even a PS3 Port of CTurt's original PS4 WebKit Playground today @zecoxao ported it to PlayStation 4 Firmware 1.50b with details below from his Twitter feed.

There are also more PS4 MEME's courtesy of @Ginsor, @X41 and @xxmcvapourxx added to the PSXHAX Shoutbox MOTD for any developers interested!

Download: playground-1.50b-master.zip / GIT / PS4-Custom-WebKit-Playground_v2.00.01.rar (2.0 MB) / Zecoxao's Github (even more recent updates)

According to the updated README.md this PS4 playground branch is currently for firmwares 1.76 / 1.50b / 1.01 only at the moment, and for those unaware it's a collection of PS4 tools and experiments using the WebKit exploit.

Thanks to @romantizma for the heads-up earlier this morning in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!

We've seen a PS4 OMSK App Overview, Install Demo and a Fixed Debug Settings guide, and today e✘treme-Modding.de shared a PS4 1.76 Activate / Deactivate App Test demonstration video on their YouTube Channel from @Ginsor's recent findings with PlayStation 4 developers.

There's also another PS4 MEME in the Shoutbox MOTD from them, with details from the video's caption below.

PS4 1.76 - Activate/Deactivate App Test

Test - Activating/Deactivating Apps via DevKit Debug Settings

Visit Extreme-Modding.de and see more PS4 Stuff.
Also @HydrogenNGU reminds us of the following via Twitter, to quote: Thank you for eXtreme for pointing that out.

Those running on new DevKit Debug Settings. DO NOT change "Boot Mode". It *may* BRICK YOUR PS4!
PS4 App.pkg offset 0x04:

• 00 - dev/non-finalized
• 81 - IDU/kiosk
• 83 - retail/finalized

And from Extreme-Modding.de, to quote: PS4 1.76 – Activate/Deactivate App Test – Entitlement Control Info

Over the last week, Ginsor and I have talked about a method to unlock installed PKGs on a 1.76 Retail PS4 via the Content Manger (Debug Settings). We have tested a lot of stuff but we don’t have managed to run any PKG on my 1.76 PS4 which never was connected to PSN. His 1.76 PS4 has 2 user accounts which has information from PSN in the act.dat file.

It’s not easy but we found a few things. It doesn’t work just to copy a rif (license) from one PS4 to another one. If your PS4 never was connected to PSN, you will not have the act.dat on your hdd...
