PS4: More debug settings on the way?
We talked a few days ago about a patch to the dlclose PS4 exploit, that lets people access Debug settings on a retail PS4. (This runs through the dlclose exploit of course, meaning you need to have a PS4 running on 1.76 firmware).
It’s also been mentioned that these debug settings were a subset of those available to actual PS4 Devkits.
However it seems the additional Debug settings from Devkit PS4 can also be enabled through this patch. User lezek20 over at playstationhax.it claims he’s been able to do it.
This hasn’t been confirmed yet, and lezek20 hasn’t released any information on how to proceed. It’s unclear if there’s any code involved at all, or if it’s some other clever trick to “unlock” those.

First! This s the happiest day of my liiiiiiiiiiiiife *sings*
Debug or not we need a CFW…
CFW is probably going to never happen so dont count on it. Idk why everyone thinks its going to happen, this generation of hacking is no longer cfws but rather live patching the memory.
That just comes down to what you wanna call it. So you’re saying it has to be permanently installed and overwritten to classify as CFW? It’s a word the community created anyway, it can mean what we want it to mean, there’s no official definition. For example 3DS (which is current gen) that boots into EmuNAND via menuhax is largely considered “CFW” by the community, although no files in NAND are replaced other than those required for the menuhax payload to run.
Well then they are using the wrong term for the simplicity of writing “CFW” rather than writing “Live patcher”. CFW stands for custom firm ware and nothing about the firmware was customized with the menuhax exploit and the same for PS4 so far. And half the time when people think jailbreak now for ps4 they think of a modified PS4UPDATE.PUP file which is absolutely not the case nor will it probably ever be.
So you’re saying as soon as firmware is loaded from NAND into RAM it’s no longer firmware?
I still think Custom Firmware can mean whatever you want it to mean, since like I said it’s not an official standard created by any company.
Good work Wololo,I wait custom firmware…..
People can write an application that cures cancer, bring about world peace and turn the console into a self sustaining automaton, yet everyone’s response will always be “but CFW tho…”
Cool to see these settings, hopefully I’ll have time later on tonight to try this out.
