ModChat

I didn't think we'd be doing back-to-back extra long episodes of ModChat, but here we are! The progress across all console scenes hasn't slowed down it seems! Talking about a ton here including the Switch getting TWO Atmosphere updates, the current status of the PS3 scene due to the 4.93 update, and explaining the complexities surrounding the PS5 12.00 jailbreak. Not everyone out there is a Star Wars fan, but there's good reasons to be one! Oh, and if you're on the latest firmware, there's some fun to be had. The PSP, a handheld near and dear to me, also gets some AMAZING developments in the form of exFAT support and ExtremeSpeed. Literally!

This might be the most densely packed episode of ModChat released to date! With some HUGE accomplishments such as the Xbox One's bootrom being hacked, a Linux port for PS5 being announced, multiple major releases for both PS4 and PS5, and the legendary SEGAGAGA being translated to English.

We've got a wide range of generations to cover this episode from the Atari 2600 all the way up to the PS5! We start off with some major Switch news with SciresM announcing his retirement from the scene. PS4 gets some major love with the long anticipated release of Vue After Free, allowing consoles up to firmware 13.00 to be quickly and easily jailbroken! If you're wanting to move onto PS5, don't sleep on these PS4 developments... Some of them are actually helping to improve current and future PS5 developments! We also go back to the PS3 as BadWDSD with qCFW has finally released! Well, kinda, tune in for more on that. Oh, and of course for some Xbox 360 developments that flew under the radar.

A bit late in the month, but we've got a giant update blast ahead! Tons of game news here from Twilight Princess being decompiled, to plenty of homebrew ports of games to different consoles such as Marvel Rivals and Sonic Mania. Even oddities like Supra Mayro Kratt and OpenWRT running on the Xbox 360 of all things! PS2 DVD entrypoints continue to come in the form of YADE, plus some love for the original Xbox with XboxMemCard for RP2040/RP2350 devices and some helpful 3D printable tools for 1.6 RAM mods. The PS4 and PS5 also get a TON of coverage here, starting with the PS4's progress so far with the upcoming PlayStation Vue entrypoint being Vue After Free. The news of the PS5's ROM keys being found is also covered here, just not in the way I'm sure most people are expecting. We even cover the rise and fall of a previously hyped PS5 jailbreak! Plenty more in here, so tune in and enjoy.

Wrapping up 2025 strong with some current and upcoming developments ranging from the Dreamcast all the way up to the PS4! We discuss the latest developments with the upcoming hard drive based Xbox 360 softmod, as well as give a ton of love to the Dreamcast with some impossible port builders and even modern software such as GIMP supporting the Dreamcast in the modern day. The original Xbox gets some love with the upcoming release of the Kratos board, plus the entire family of DS consoles get the gift of the DSpico. There's also a TON of PS4 news here! From the release of a BD-JB based jailbreak working up to 12.52, a tease of another BD-JB based entrypoint working up to 13.02, a whole different entrypoint in the form of the PlayStation Vue application, and even a port of the Netflix entrypoint! Oh yeah, and a CFW enabled PSP takes front and center stage at a WWE event.
