The first 4.78 CFW (Custom Firmware) has appeared following the Official Firmware Update of 4.78, that we have just seen come alongside the PS Vita (& PSTV) v3.57 System Update. playerkp420 who is known for his various MFW releases (which are essentially CFW, but created with a tool called MFW builder) has been working on creating his own CFW from scratch.He delivers a simple CFW that's a Standard CEX based firmware with the release of PLAYERKP420 4.78 v1.00 CFW. [break]ss[/break] Also, playerkp420 has provided a Video Tutorial to show user's how to setup the MAMBA payload which gives those non-cobra cfw's cobra like features, in this link you can view some of the features MAMBA adds (such as ISO Support, Plugin Support, Network Loading and more). View the details of this 4.78 Custom Firmware release and if you are looking for all the latest 4.78 Releases and other CFW options be sure to view this link in our forums as we will be updating the list as things get updated and released over the next weeks.

PLAYERKP420 4.78 v1.00 CFW

I have a lot of people asking me how to get online, since the latest update. I know the real devs are busy, and usually takes a few days before something is released. I did see there is a 4.78 spoofer out. But I wouldn't trust any spoofer that wasn't SEN Enabler or Rebug Toolbox.

So I thought I would share my NON Cobra 4.78 CFW that I made last night. I have tested it out on a few consoles (2001a + 2501a), and since it is a pretty basic CFW I believe it is safe for any model. But be warned, that I am not responsible for anything you do with your PS3! Please give feedback of what model installed on,

I left the coldboot alone, and left epilepsy warning. Just a simple CFW close to OFW, to allow playing games and getting online with the correct precautions.
1. Peek n poke
2. reactpsn
3. Install Packages +app/home
4. Removed ECDSA
5. Qa flag enabled (if flag already set, but can still set flag with 4.xx toggle qa app).
6. Can be installed over any CFW, or OFW 3.55 and lower.
7. Can be installed over any OFW if NOR/NAND flash has been patched with a hardware flasher.

I know it is working like it should. Maybe some things I didn't try are not, IDK? But I played BO3 and GTA5 online after using PSNPatch, and my buddy is online with it now playing Madden 16.

For better game compatibility follow this video guide to add mamba and webman:
[video=youtube;BytVxYhjriI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BytVxYhjriI[/video]

After following this video, you will be able to use multiman 4.70.03 and Webman Mod on NON Cobra CFW or MFW. In the video my PS3 is on Playerkp420 4.75 v1.01. But works with NON Cobra 4.78 CFW also. Tested on my Playerkp420 4.78 v1.00.

Here are the .pkg files you will need:

multiman 4.76.00 BASE:

MAMBA/PRX Loader v2.1.5 - Make sure to hold X while launching the mamba loader app.

PSNPatch 2015.11A

Webman Mod 1.43.25 updater

PS4 Homebrew Store (ALPHA) - Latest Update by LigthingMods
Developer @LigthingMods has released an update to the PlayStation 4 Homebrew Store App that is currently in the Alpha Stages of development. We have now seen several releases of this homebrew store and the functionality of delivering you a homebrew package (pkg's) works very well."Simply" select and download then boom the app installs the homebrew and is ready to use on your Homebrew Enabled PS4. So the foundation seems solid in terms of the functionality. However you must be warned the User -Interface could use a bit of work but we are sure the developer is aware of this and plans to make further improvements as we embark into the future. One of more annoying quirks you will find in the UI will be with navigation as homebrew is randomly listed and you must navigate pages of listing to find Homebrew. In this update there has been the inclusion of a search feature and in my honest opinion it can be a bit picky (if you do not know the exact name of the homebrew) also a pagejump does allow you to navigate any page on demand, but not the most ideal way of browsing the Homebrew contained in the store. A suggestion to help the browsing of pages would be to add some category listing's and even a newly released section . Now this update there has been plenty of changes/improvements for those changes lets take a look @ligthingmods take it from here with the release details for this huge update found below, also @MasterTurkey has a video showing a bit of the update also.

Update #3 for Orbital - An PS4 Emulator by @AlexAltea - now with DualShock 4 support!
Following up after his Milestone Update back in March, Developer @AlexAltea showcases his third Update from his PS4 Emulator Orbital, which now supports the inputs from an original DualShock 4 Controller together with a new and updated Presentation from the current Development Stages of his PS4 Emulator on his own YouTube-Channel (know with a higher Resolution and Quality ). Although the support isn't perfect (the keypress shows big delays on the PS4 while running in Safe Mode - but they are fixable), it is still nice to see how difficult it is to emulate a Console from the ground-up until running a playable Game, but also how much effort he takes to get this PS4 Emulator updated and running better and better. This is already worth some kudos, don't you think? And he has already plans for future updates, such as the possibility to allow a re-installation from the PS4 System Software via an USB Mass Storage Device. Running the Operating System from a emulated Console is always very important and a good basis to make some further work profitable. If this progress will keep so strong for the future, we think we can expect some great functions from that Emulator and for emulating a PS4 on a PC in General, what do you think?

  I used MFW Builder to apply some patches, and did some patches in hex. You can use it with patch tool. But usually what he uses only has the minimum patches like from dual boot OFW coreos. I will have a DB in a little while.

  might be due to mm not being updated. I just decrypted the pup file for hex comparisons to 4.76/4.75, and the vsh.self header shows 4.78 like it should.

  That is why I took it apart and used the list.txt from OFW.
  
  I have made a DB OFW, that should be better for making coreos patch. The file size is exactly the same as OFW. Even if you unpack it, lv0 and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier.self, they are the same size. (The only 2 files that are patched to allow reinstall of CFW)

  [MENTION=673]sheaushyong[/MENTION] BD EMU will not work without an update by deank .. (multiMAN v4.78.00 will be needed as mM follow OFW version numbering)
  
  So since the latest version is v4.76.00 we need an update. There has not been many changes to the firmware in the last several releases of OFW, so 4.75, 4.76, 4.78 are nearly identical. Also since mM is not updated it will not display newer firmwares correctly.
  
  mmCM mode can be used on 4.78 CFW without update, which that requires COBRA or you can use MAMBA and i believe mmCM can be used. Which in mmCM BD EMU is not needed.

  patch for qa in addition to the basics LV0 and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier patchs is better for a no-fsm patch. This way you can downgrade right after the flash (if console has already been jailbroken with qa token created of course).
  
  Edit; and maybe patch Core OS hash check as well

  technically all CFWs are MFW, and so seems this is not completely a MFW Builder production as stated some patches were done manually :p

  I think it's semantics mostly. for example, most people use the coldboot creator by twizzy (is that the right name?) with the purple wave in the background, but others, such as myself, hex in the images/script. it's really the same thing whether it's automated or not. u can get most, if not all, information u need for creating cfw from ps3devwiki along with patches. u can learn a lot through hexing or IDA to debug the files, both of which, r in the patches section of ps3devwiki. ...just make sure u have an e3 or a similar device on hand in case something goes wrong.

  This mean that changes between 4.75-4.78 are really small. Also this confirm that $ony released this fw ONLY because rebug release, just to make 4.76 "outdated". Is funny that big company like to play cat and mouse game.

  This fw has Install Package Files and app_home upside down , they are first in the column instead of being last . What is the correct procedure to enable Mamba ? I installed Mamba Autoloader , launched it and kept X pressed , then installed Webman 1.43.25 but after a restart i cant acces the Game column at all , no items appear . I needed to to a firmware reinstall , re-enable Mamba then it worked . Also , is app_home still needed with Mamba/Cobra ? Maybe it can be removed from the xml
