Hi,
So i already installed psxitarch on ps4 internal HDD (just to test if my ps4 was compatible) but now i want to switch to Fedora or Gentoo because they preform better
should i uninstall psxitarch first (if so then how?) or can i just install the other linux distros directly ?
Thanks

On a desktop/notebook usually you don't need to remove it before installing a new distribution over it, on the installation disk should you find an option to format the partition (I've only experience with the Debian install tools tho), on the PS4 the installation script should anyway ask which partition to format so it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know about Fedora or Gentoo, but with Debian you can install it from inside the running distribution. In your case I would say it's probably less troublesome to start from scratch, anyway for the curious reader: https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
