hi members , I am currently on Firmware 5.05 and want to go to 9.00 using the ESP32-S2 method.

My question is should I stay on 5.05 as 9.00 is unstable and wait for a more reliable jailbreak.


chat soon

I got a 2nd ps4 when they were highly marked down a couple christmases' ago.
My 1st ps4 has 5.05 and it is SO stable, I didn't want to mess with it. If you aren't satisfied with the update, simply put, you can't switch back.
The 2nd ps4 I was past 6.72 so I went to 7.55. It is less stable, it takes me 5 to 15 tries to load up the CFW, and only occassionally it shuts down. Not a problem, if you keep the external HD disconnected until you are completed.
If you are determined to upgrade (alot of games become available with 6.72 and again 7.55), try 6.72 first and see what you think. Then 7.55 if you don't like it, then 9
I also found almost all the games marked FW9.0 play in 7.55. Only COD Vanguard doesn't load, so far in all I've tried. I'm sure there is a few more, but I haven't come across them.

9.0 is Rock Solid for me as it is for many others, I had 1 kernel panic in the space of 4 or 5 months. I leave my PRO on rest mode and never had a problem.

You're gonna hear varying opinions from both 5.05 users and 9.0 users, I've had machines on both and honestly they are just as solid as each other.

Plus on 9.0 I don't have to worry about backport's either.

hi guys thanks for your insight and knowledge it is much appreciated. 9.00 looks pretty good from Peter's response. I'm hoping for some more peeps to chime in and I will go ahead and buy a ESP32-S2.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
