Hacking been out of the scene for awhile

back when hurricane irma hit i accidentally formatted my memcard with gparted (yes i know im an idiot)
can someone give me a quick rundown of whats happened since then?

Not much, really. NoNPDRM was released, which is one of the better backup methods now. These are essentially full, mostly unmodified backups that use a "spoofed" verification file, so no more janky backups with Maidump/Vitamin. TL;DR, games previously undumpable (like Axiom Verge) are now dumpable and playable. This DOES NOT allow 3.61+ backups to be played.

Other than that, we have the latest Adrenaline v6 which is now a VPK and no longer requires a base game or activation, which I think was released before Irma so you probably already knew...

And then there's also ReNpDRM, which will be releasing in ~15 hours, that will bring back activation and PSN network stuff, that's probably the biggest thing released since SD2Vita/Enso.

yeah i already knew about the adrenaline vpk
any cool plugins or homebrew?

Not really. A few homebrew games and such, some updates to older homebrew, but nothing groundbreaking. I suggest just checking Wololo and just going back a few pages until you start hitting stuff you recognize, it's been fairly slow for the most part.
