While it is a common knowledge that developers use the respective devs kits of consoles to develop games for consoles, however, for some reason we don’t usually get to see the console dev kit. If you are wondering what PlayStation 4 dev kit looks like then you are in the right place.
You can check out the PlayStation 4 dev kit in the image below and looking at it, it is apparent that why console dev kits are not a practical choice for a home console.
The PlayStation 4 dev kit is quite bulky compared to the PlayStation home console. Other than that, everything is same as the standard PS4 as it uses the standard DualShock 4 controller and display port.
Speaking of the PlayStation 4, PS4 Firmware 5.05 has been cracked and has already been implemented for all PS4 models including the PS4 Pro.
This PS4 Firmware 5.05 crack requires users to modify the DNS to use the browser in order to load Henkaku.
However, every time the user turns off the console will have to load the Henkaku again as turning the console off will remove all modifications.
Furthermore, this PS4 Firmware 5.05 crack is not limited to specific PS4 models and can be used on the base PS4, PS4 slim and even PS4 Pro but, the last one has to have the original CD-ROM drive.
Not only that, it seems that Sony is preparing to use AMD Ryzen APU for PS5. Sony’s compiler expert Simon Pilgrim who is apparently working on AMD Ryzen “znver1” microarchitecture support within the LLVM compiler stack.
The programmer is working on upstream LLVM improvements which unique to AMD Zen processors and Sony has no product in the market using the AMD Ryzen chip in it which might indicate that the company is running the LLVM compiler stack for the PlayStation 5.
