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.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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".

    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
