Notes:
This has been tested on Rebug, Evilnat and Ferrox and on 4.87.1 HFW with the latest HEN.
There are a few items that are for CFW only, these options are labelled with flashing symbols warning to not use them on HEN.

If anyone wants to release a language translation add on, look in the dev_hdd0/ULTOOLBOX/USRDIR/language_packs/English/ folder, there are approx 7MB of xmls in there that would need translating. It's a fairly big job, I will release a pkg template for installing extra languages if anyone wants it.

If you are on HEN, after install you need to go into Firmware Settings > HEN Options and choose to promote the HEN enabler for your HFW version to the root of game. You can also enable HEN from there if required.

There is a link to Evilnat 4.87.3 included in the PUP downloader section, for now this links to Evilnat 4.87.2, when the PUP is available the file will be updated server side.

There could be bugs in this software so use it at your own risk.
After initial install it will change your PSN icons color to blue, you can change this to red inside the visual customization menu if you want to.

If you would like to make a small donation to help cover server costs it would much appreciated, Thank you.
