Much appreciated Coro! I only posted in regards to CFW if any are still on the 6.72 or 7.02 I believe it is? I kept mine unplugged thankfully in case further work in the PS4 Scene happens. Should I update the post with the additional features this has and its draw backs?

the PS4 does not have CFW yet (maybe someday). the hack is a HEN (Homebrew ENabler).

thanks for the heads up
