2 years ago @masterzorag and I first began what now
is the first-ever open-source PS4 home menu alternative called Itemzflow and is the result of many many hours RE'ing the PS4's ShellUI, and today is my gift to you

New etaHEN update will probably come out after my 1 week trip to Mexico (Oct 30th - Nov 6th) during that time I will not be releasing any new test builds

With all the AI assisted projects coming out lately it's easy to forget about the people that made this scene without AI, for me specifically I created Itemzflow, the hb store, etaHEN and more with AI, I was also the first one to have a homebrew on PS5 (remember Tetris?)

[Seregon @SeregonWar]

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.

As much as I'd like to see GoldHen open source like the things it's based on, uploading a decomp straight from IDA without even trying to rewrite it isn't the way to go, what's even worse is that they could have just copied most of the HEN code, they didn't even try

[POLL] should etaHEN keep the updated toolbox menu from OnionHEN or stay with the old toolbox memy

If you want to help fund server upgrades or just make a donation

@LightningMods_ Is there a link we can help with?

[LM @LightningMods_]

For reference so far today the website has had 754k requests with 1TB of data served

[Al Azif @_AlAzif]

The amount of people who will complain about the homebrew store being overloaded/slow but don’t donate for bandwidth is crazy. They just expect @LightningMods_ to fit the bill for their convenience I guess… To put this in perspective when 5.05 was the latest FW the DNS served literally millions of unique IPs (on PS4s) monthly. That was with single DNS packets vs actual PKGs. Spoiler: Upcoming PS5 release will keep the store like this, now’s your chance if you want to support the HB store to help try and get it bolstered in time.

Very funny

I'm selling an activated banned PS4 base model devkit, the last buyer got a good deal on a banned PS5 devkit and backed out, $800 or best offer, no cables or controllers, if you are interested reply below and I'll dm you on twitter

[LM @LightningMods_]

If PS5 fpkgs come out a 2.6b might come out early

[LM @LightningMods_]

Unpopular opinion: The fact we are seeing so many web based PS5 homebrew apps tells me no one knows how to make a UI anymore they just ask AI to make them a webpage

[LM @LightningMods_]

Like this tweet if you would like to see expanded compatibility with different formats in Itemzflow like FFPFSC or Exfat

[LM @LightningMods_]

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

[0xP0CO @ryaneddisford]

Respect etaHEN. None of this would exist without it. Developing the first HEN on PS5 must have been incredibly difficult and exhausting. What we did isn’t even worth mentioning.

[Al Azif @_AlAzif]

It’s amazing no one understands etaHEN has been open for contributions the entire time and rather than people working together to make one that does it all and has a bunch of people supporting it. They now have 8 different HENs that all do different shit and each only has one person supporting it.

[LM @LightningMods_]

Fun fact: Since all the new HENs are based on etaHEN you are technically still using etaHEN just under different names and different features
