PS4 System Software / Firmware 6.51 Released, Don't Update!

Following the previous PS4 OFW revision Sony released another PS4 System Software / Firmware 6.51 update today which brings the usual stability patches to once again improve system performance.

As always DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use PS4 game backups and homebrew apps when a jailbreak exploit arrives, and we'll add any related Tweets below as PlayStation 4 scene developers have a chance to examine it.

Thanks for the update.

@Rayker don't think he have the keys, as in the PS4 emulator for PC github, he appears credited and in the description on how the emulator work they say that they dont have the keys and use decripted bins from hacked consoles

 

[oneman123]

i dont have keyz dont need them no skills to get them

 

[Shivakumar]

WHEN 6.20 KEX ?

 

[med33]

STOP ASKING FOR KEX ETA WEN, No one can tell, and if you want to play games, just buy them and support the developers who made them, and screw backups man it's what makes the ps4 hacking scene so messed up

 

[Deepsht]

screw the ps4 'scene' then guy!
we're all here for the backups, at least 99% of us
let the majority decide

no one cares about some crappy homebrew super-mario clone on a modern console
we need RDR2

 

[med33]

@Deepsht I know you all want to play retail games, devs and hackers don't have to release kex if they don't want to, and you should be happy that we have at least 5.05 kex

I just bought a PS4 that's higher then 5.05 and I'm also waiting for a kex (if it's releasing anyway), but just to learn making homebrow apps and games, I'm a game developer and I want to make some homebrow games for PS4, as for official games I'm buying them because I know what it feels like to use someone else's work and that's uncool

 

[HackYourPS4]

Deepsht is so angry to everyone: to sony, to devs, to poor parents...
What a deepsht

 

[Deepsht]

@med33 a backup gamer is born one and dies like one!

it's my right to fully exploit the console if i already paid money for it
same as pc hardware

it's not wrong, as i'm not actually taking anything out of someone's pocket specially out of these AAA game co's, which 90% are satanists anyway

>95% console users don't care about these exploits, so why bother lecturing me about it

How many fw revisions is that for 2019?
