Hi again.    It's been a while, hope you all didn't miss me too much   Today i am coming at you with some relatively new news!   Recently CTURT has released a new exploit for the PS2 called FreeDVDBoot. This allows you to load homebrew from an exploit in the PS2's DVD firmware. It is believed that this will work on any firmware PS2 DVD drive, although support is currently limited to 3 versions at the time of writing this. I believe the support will grow over time,

The PS4 has been given a boost with some great news and releases in the past couple of months, Mira, Open Source SDK's, a new KExploit and much more and the releases just keep coming.     Such as this application by Jabu which lets you convert PS2 game ISO's to a format that the PS4 will understand, here is a video of it running:   Source https://www.psx-place.com/threads/ps2-fpkg-0-2-by-jabu-new-tool-to-convert-ps2-games-for-ps4.30350/   Vi

For about two and a half years the latest firmware that could be exploited on the PS4 was 5.05, that all changed yesterday when reverse engineer TheFlow released his PS4 KExploit which has the potential of running homebrew and backups on firmware 7.02     I say potential because the KExploit needs a WebKit exploit to run and the latest WebKit is 6.72, so at the moment you will be able to run homebrew and backups on firmware 6.72 and you should not update past that firmware at

After yesterdays debate on the morality of bug bounties for the PS4 I think I need to clear a few things up in regards to my opinion on such things, not that anyone really cares about my opinion but that won't stop me giving it.     I created this thread yesterday, in which it seemed I was insulting scene developers which is not quite the case, I firmly believe that if you are part of a scene, then you shouldn't be working for a company and helping block up exploits for a sce

UPDATE As TheFlow has posted a link to this thread, I would like to post a few things about this article and why it was made.   1.) When I had originally written this article, it was not targeting any developer in particular, this was posted as a deterrent to developers from the scene from selling exploits to Sony, yes it was childish and perhaps I could have used better words, but I did not want exploits being wasted.   2.) Like I said this article was targeting scene d

If you haven't been living in a cave for the past hundred years, you will know that racism is a big problem in USA, from the KKK, to Red Neck racists, to Neo Nazi's, they are all present in every day USA, but what is worse is that these racist cowardly thugs are in the ranks of the police force.     More recently the cold blooded murder of George Floyd has brought about huge anti Racism protests and about time too, it is time the world stood up in solidarity with our Black an

Hello good afternoon, it is my first post, I wanted to thank everyone for the work you provide in these forums. My problem is that I have a slim ps4, when changing the ic of the hdmi these components of the board blew me up, can you help me identify them? Thank you all very much for your support.  

A couple of years ago I bitched on Twitter that homebrew developers were being lazy in not creating any homebrew, the response I got was "there is no open source SDK".     There now is an open source SDK as well as the ability to use Unity, so there is zero excuses now not to make any hombres apart from laziness.   So to give people the incentive to create homebrew I am going to continue the discussion of a homebrew competition that was started earlier by @zecoxao on Twi
