Hacking things in 2016 seems to be the theme of January, a group of hackers manage to bypass the PlayStation 4 security measures and install a custom Linux OS and start playing a modded version of Pokemon Emerald. Ill get right to it here is the video.
Sony has had its fare share of interesting console homebrew. I myself recall having a PSP 1000 with custom firmware, and years after the operational lifetime of the PS2 was over, folks kept theirs around in order to mod and use them. The FailOverflow group has written a custom version of Linux for the console and released the download for free on their website. In the demonstration video, the hacked PS4 can be seen running a game called Pokemon PlayStation Version, which Nintendo fans will likely recognize as a modded version of Pokemon Emerald.
