Syscon is, together with [[Southbridge]], one of the main chips responsible for taking care of the functioning of APU, peripherals, etc.
Syscon is, together with Aeolia, one of the main chips responsible for taking care of the functioning of APU, peripherals, etc.
 
It is actually internally codenamed '''Colwick''' on the ps4 and the chip's structure is the same as one of a Renesas RL78.
PS4 Syscon is codenamed '''Colwick'''. It is a custom Renesas RL78/G13.

= Glitching, Dumping & Flashing =
== Method 1 ==
Based on the attack outlined by Fail0verflow [https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2018/ps4-syscon] '''Wildcard''' designed the following glitch using a Teensy: [https://github.com/VV1LD/SYSGLITCH].
Using '''Wildcard''''s shellcode but using a different methodology on his GitHub, you can copy the original Syscon and dump it to a new Renesas chip with comparatively greater ease. '''Guide available on BwE's GitHub.'''
You can also flash to the original SCE syscon using a different shellcode but this is a commercial product sold by [[User:BwE]].
== Method 2 ==
