Wasn't interested in the Hacking my PS4 until after this update. Worth not updating my console?
Sounds like people are making progress on 4.50+.

Stay on lower FW as much as possible as you can. Only the developer will say you can go ahead or not. We have a 2.57 since 2 years now. And we refused to update it. :)

Hey guys, it seems like Im finally hitting the PS4 train.
I'll be buying Slim, so I was wondering should I be careful which FW is it on?
And should I update? (is it possible to access PSN store without updating ?)

Unless you want homebrew and cheats, PS3 games are so cheap nowdays it's not even worth the wait. I paid like 5 dollars for Ni No Kuni and 2 dollars for Twisted Metal lol.

In general lower the firmware the better of course. Qwertyoruiop seems to think he can break (or has broken) 4.55 but he might not even release.

I'm still on 4.50 on the main PS4, and have a spare 1.52 fw system sitting new in box... just waiting for some homebrew goodness.

Holy crap just realized I misread this is PS4 hax not PS3, which I thought a new exploit has been discovered for.

My bad, totally worth it.

Personally I doubt he will ever release, but then I'm not too sure why he tweets about it constantly. It's not really "security research" if you never disclose to anyone else. No point disclosing to Sony after they have already patched it.

I'm still wondering this too, I'm on 3.11 but since the exploits were discovered on 4.55 I want to update so I can download some games.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • 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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    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

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
