I'm curious on the long-term impacts. I think a lot of long-time scene veterans feel this way, and while the slop mods/projects are being embraced now, eventually people will be fatigued of them. Then all the people who poured their passion and effort into the space will be gone.
Can I say something? This whole situation is seriously starting to get on my nerves. At this point, it feels like I can't show anything on screen anymore without seeing the same ideas being replicated by someone else shortly afterward. And, as usual, the people who come along later end up getting far more attention than the person who originally came up with the idea and developed it first. I keep seeing all kinds of emulators and application ports made by people who practically joined the scene yesterday being shared and promoted everywhere. Meanwhile, I've been developing projects for PS4 and PS5 for years, putting thousands of hours into my work, yet I still feel like most of what I create gets systematically overlooked. I'm not asking for recognition simply because I've been around longer, but I do believe that originality, hard work, and years of contributions deserve at least some acknowledgment. And I want to make one thing absolutely clear: I have nothing against the person I'm replying to. This isn't personal, nor is it an attack on their work. This is just me venting about a situation I've seen happen over and over again, and frankly, it's becoming incredibly frustrating.

Not even just speaking about console hacking here, the explosion in game modding communities of new stuff has been crazy too. So many people are hype about it, but I think it will drive away the people who really kept these communities alive for these fly-by-night contributions.

Please don’t take this or the replies as justification to personally attack anyone, this is mostly just a consequence of the times we’re in. It just makes me a bit sad and the situation is unfortunate.
LLMs fracturing the console research space feels like a good litmus test of where we're at lmao. The future is slop and the fun is dead.

But r/blackops2 said devkits/testkits have special magic that makes them impossible to ban so this can't be true
There's been a rumor going around that the dev/testkits that were banned were banned because they used a specific update file, the truth is the kits that were banned were banned because they were cheating online and anyone that suggests differently is coping

Some people already know this, but thought I'd mention here too... unfortunately basically all of my low fw PS5s got stolen recently, so I'm not sure what my future in console research will look like. Replacing this stuff might be too be difficult & expensive to be worth it :(

I've published a write-up on reversing and analyzing Samsung's H-Arx hypervisor architecture for Exynos devices, which has had a lot of changes in recent years and pretty interesting design. Hope you all enjoy :) dayzerosec.com/blog/2025/03/…

RE: byepervisor do people care enough about not wanting to use rest mode and resume to switch the primary exploit for byepervisor to the jump table one? its higher maintenance and possibly slightly less stable but would be slightly more convenient to run I guess

I've published the repo for Byepervisor (we love named vulns out here). Contains exploit implementation for two PS5 hypervisor bugs for 2.xx and lower. Slides from the talk + vod should hopefully be published soon. github.com/PS5Dev/Byeperviso…
