NHLView for PS4 potentially in the works

I would think it could be used for any NHL games for PS4, but right now we don't even know if he'll be able to create an NHLView for the PS4.

GREAT NEWS!!!!

(copied from Artem's website)

As a result of the generous donations, I was able to collect enough funds in just a month to purchase the required PS4 console. I can not thank all the contributors enough.

In my few days with this "toy", here is what I was able to discover so far:

I was able to extract default NHL 15 PS4 roster and confirm that it has a nearly identical format to the one of NHL 15 PS3. I will post an updated TDBView and the default roster in the next news update.

I'm able to execute arbitrary code on PS4 to test my hypotheses and discover how internals work - see the screenshot above.

Since this console is on older firmware, I'm only able to run NHL 15 so far. As far as I can see, this will not be a limitation for current and future versions of the game. Once the savegame format is accessible, the coding will be done on PC and PS4 firmware will not matter. I have not yet purchased NHL 16 or NHL 17 though.

Now I could attempt to start modifying NHLView to be able to open the default rosters; however, I feel that at this point it is a waste of time since savegames are still a mistery. My next task is to be able to read the savegames. I will update you on progress when I have anything meaningful to post.
And did I forget to say A HUGE THANK YOU to all those who made any of this possible?

This is awesome. I hope Artem can crack the code. If so, there will be a rebirth of the Revamped Rosters.

If this works, that means that we can change player faces to the real player faces in the game. I'm totally in if that works.

Any update on the project to get NHLView for 18

Not yet. When he does though, it'll be on his website. Just google "Artem khassanov" and his website should be one of the top hits.

Artem posted an update. To sum up, the PS4 encryption is currently too deep, and it prevents opening the save game files, where the rosters are included. Therefore no NHL View in the works any time soon, though Artem continues to work on it and hopes someone will crack the encryption, if not himself.

Thanks for the update.
