Developer @fjtrujy known for porting RetroArch to the PS2 (which now an official port of RetroArch), has also recently announced the intentions of creating homebrew projects with the PS4 (as seen here). However the developer hasn't brushed off or set aside the PS2 port. Experimenting with a new Work-in-Progress toolchain the dev has been able to maximize performance in some cores like the QuickNES core running full FPS (see comparison video below). The toolchain may even provide support for cores that require a bit more juice like the arcade emulator MAME2000, while the core has alot of work yet to be fully optimized it has shown some potential and played some games like Ghost-n-Goblins well (seen in the video attached below), The developer is seeking " help of the GCC community to finish, some CPU instructions are pending to implement" to maximizes the potential of this new (wip) toolchain. Additional info can be found in the recent tweets by the developer found below. Looks like its early yet for the toolchain and more work needs to be done but appears the dev is on the right track in tapping into some additional potential from the iconic and still development strong PS2.. .​

A new update for Artemis (r6.1) has been been released by the developer @bucanero that included some handy new enchantments for the Cheat System for both PS3 CFW user's and PS3HEN user's ,The app on startup will now check for a new update and process the update automatically, A new plugin selection system has been added, the reason for the implementation is that different version of the plugin run better depending on your console's exploration path (CFW or PS3HEN). For instances on PS3HEN the r5 plugin has performed much better then the later r6 plugin that is suggested for CFW user's. So the app gives you the ability to choose easily which plugin you would like to use. Several other new enchantments make their way in this latest update from a developer (seen the release notes below) that has been impressing lately with some of his PS3 projects like PS3 Apollo Save Tool and PKGi​

We have seen many XMB visual mods published so far in the lifetime of the PS3 but the QRC format (a type of container) has been always problematic, tricky, and very restricted. XForge is intended to solve all this problems once for all, it allows full freedom to rebuild the QRC files and modify all his contents There are many files inside the QRC containers that are candidates to be modified, XForge is the first tool that allows to modify them in a "noob friendly" way, everything made from a intuitive interface with preview panels Say goodbye to the previous manual methods that required dealing with zlib compressed files or injecting them with a hex-editor to create a custom wave, to replace XMB main icons, to change background wallpapers, etc... XForge supersedes all that tutorials, manuals methods, and tools, there is a long list of features supported by XForge, for more detailed descriptions see the feature list below​
