'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the scene, came releases galore beyond everyone's dreams.
Stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that homebrew devs would soon be there.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2020 everyone!
Some recent updates:
BwE PS5 NOR Validator (Pre-Alpha). Designed to validate the entire raw and semi-encrypted firmware of a PlayStation 5. Created using Perl. Not recommended for use at this stage. Please wait for future developments and additional flash dumps. The next update will actually begin to extract and validate the individual files within the flash.
DO NOT USE! Will not give valid result. Wait for proper release!

Some recent updates:
- In addition to their previous batch of PS4 7.02 Backported Games, the PS4 Scene release group DUPLEX made available a Final.Fantasy.VII.Remake.DLC.Unlocker.PS4-DUPLEX for PS4 6.72 jailbroken consoles.
- PS5 Scene release group BigBlueBox made available one of the smallest PlayStation 5 game dumps thus far, namely Override.2.Super.Mech.League.PS5-BigBlueBox weighing in at only 2.87 GB in size for those who enjoy examining and archiving them in hopes one day extracted dumps will be playable prior to PS5 FPKGs becoming a thing via PS5 PKGs and PS5 PKG Updates.
- Since the 7.02 PS4 Jailbreak updates and kernel_dump_fw_672.rar, tihmstar updated Github with the ps4-kexec 7.02 offsets that @mircohoooo (Twitter) utilized to bring PS4 Linux 7.02 to Gentoo (Guide) which was tested by @cedsaill4 (Twitter) with the related downloads and Tweets added HERE.
- Senior Member @Chronoss09 updated his offline cached version to last_sleirsgoevy_host_only_702_v4.rar (336.3 KB) followed by a last_sleirsgoevy_host_only_702_v5_new.rar (376.46 KB), last_sleirsgoevy_host_only_702_v5_old.rar (346.96 KB) and a last sleirsgoevy host only 702 v6.rar (983.38 KB) with an online cached Test Page host including the above advancements for those using the PS4JB 7.02 PS4 Jailbreak.
- Senior Member @Nova0909 shared some PS4Cheater application Cheat Addresses for use with the recently released Final.Fantasy.VII.Remake.PS4-DUPLEX game dump.
- Proceeding his SCEPad H4X and CoD .CSV Real-Time Editor demos, PlayStation 4 developer @DeathRGH (Twitter) made available a MW2 Remastered Backport FPKG (EP0002-CUSA07904_00-CODMW2RTHEGAME01-A0101-V0100.pkg - 26.06 MB) for use with the recent Call.of.Duty.Modern.Warfare.2.Campaign.Remastered.PS4-DUPLEX release alongside a MW2R PS4 1.00 Materials with Offsets dump via Pastebin.com.
- Following his RE3 Remake Ammo Mod for use with Resident.Evil.3.PS4-DUPLEX via PS4Cheater, SonysNightmare shared some Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Mods (DBZ-KAKAROT-MODS.rar - 626 Bytes - Password: SONYSNIGHTMARE) for those interested.
- @Czesio8094 passed along a Persona 5 Royal Debug Mod Menu (UP0177-CUSA17416_00-PERSONA5R0000000-A0101-V0101.pkg - 51.19 MB) originally from the Amicitia Team that was since modded using their tool for the CUSA17416 version of the game.
- @DEv ShOoTz (Twitter) made available a PS4 Dying Light 1.16 Update with Developer Cheat Menu (EP1018-CUSA03991_00-DLEEGAME0DEVMENU-A0116-V0100.pkg - 3.89 GB) for the CUSA03991 version of the game noting to repack with your base game if you have an error.

- @EdiTzZ (Twitter) updated his PS4 Playground menu for X-Mas bringing the full chain jailbreak exploit to PlayStation 4 version 7.02 Firmware.
- Proceeding the 6.72 WebRTE, @TylerMods of PS4Trainer via LM made available on PS4Trainer.com a WebRTE to 7.02 Port while noting that you must use ChendoChap's host for it to work.
- It appears a chicken belonging to one of Santa's elves (or ELFs ) is running wild on the PS5DevWiki this holiday season adding PlayStation 5 Syscalls and Hypercalls including some PS5 Kernel Table offsets for developers to examine as @CelesteBlue (Twitter) is dispatched to investigate further... still curious if the PS5 WebKit in Sony's next-gen console is vulnerable to the recent Talos WebSocket Exploit discovery.
- Finally, some recent additions to PS4 Github Repositories of note include a PS4 GTA V Native Updater IDA Pro 7.0+ script to update native addresses for new versions by @2much4u (Twitter), a work-in-progress PS4 Dumper VTX 7.02 all-in-one (AOI) PS4 game dumper fork by justinfinite4 and a PS4Debug WIP update by dmiller423 (Twitter)... with a BwE PS5 NOR Validator (Statistics Version) to validate raw / semi-encrypted PS5 Firmware also in development by @BwE of BetterWayElectronics.com.au on the PS5 Github Repository.
BwE PS5 NOR Validator (Pre-Alpha). Designed to validate the entire raw and semi-encrypted firmware of a PlayStation 5. Created using Perl. Not recommended for use at this stage.

Hello!
I am BwE of betterwayelectronics.com.au and I have been creating software to validate the PlayStation's flash since 2008 with the help of psdevwiki.com :)
I also repair consoles locally in Australia and have been doing that since 2008 also. I am only recently slowing that down due to commitments with a PhD I am undertaking.

Why isn't it free?
This program is targeted towards businesses with bulk amounts of PS5s to repair. My products also come with support and continued development.
Will you add more features?
More features are added whenever I have time to experiment with my PS5s here and or when I get a large amount of PS5 dumps from the public.
======================================================================================
TLDR; Will this fix my BLOD? It depends, if the console beeps once and flashes briefly then theres a higher chance. Same if there is no beep at all.
TLDR; Will this prove my BLOD is software based? Yes, if the dump comes up 100% valid then it is likely a hardware issue.

Bulk NOR Tools Menu:
Launches the comparison app, used for the bulk diagnosis and comparison of dumps (Put multiple .bin files in the same directory). Features multiple output and filter options.
1. Compare Specific Version Only
2. Compare Specific SKU Only
3. Compare Specific Version & SKU Only
4. Compare All Dumps
1. Compare Offsets (Hex)
2. Compare Offsets (ASCII)
3. Compare Offsets MD5
4. Compare Offsets Entropy
5. Double Offset Comparison (Data 1 & Data 2)
6. Double Offset Comparison (Data 1 & MD5 2)
7. Dynamic MD5 Calculation
8. Compare File Entropy & Byte Count
9. Compare File MD5
10. Sort Dumps Into Folders (SKU - FW)
11. Extract Dumps by Offset
NOR Menu:
1 - Select Different Dump
Return to Main Menu!
2 - Extract Dump
Extract based on BwE's interpretation of literal files and does so dynamically based on their size.
3 - Patch (/Patches/)
Designed to load .bin patches from the /Patches/ directory. It will interpret and auto locate patch offsets if they've been extracted by my program. If not it will ask for a start address.
4 - Re-Generate Dump
Attempts to make an entirely fresh dump, but with your consoles important data within. Will likely fix any corruption you may had, but this process is not perfect.
Now supports all firmwares and all SKU's but needs more testing. Let me know of any issues, updates to the PS5 FW may require updates to this feature.
5 - Switch Between Disc/Digital
Only uses flags within the dump itself to change whether it is a disc or digital console. May fix SU-101312-8 errors during updates.
6 - IDU Toggle
Simply enable and disable IDU Mode. Use at own risk!
7 - Harvest MAC
The PS5 will not boot and will beep once if your MAC address (or its hash) is corrupted, harvesting one from another console is the only solution as it cannot be generated/modified.
8 - Validate + Statistics
Attempts to validate each file/area within the PS5, still under development and will continue to improve in the future.
Also uses aggregate statistical data to determine if the console is significantly corrupt or not.
9 - Upload Only
Add your dump to the collective!
