but the tab of file transfer is missing. on 2.0 it had an icon on the left bar for files

Weird. I have the icon. I never used voidshell before so it was a clean install. Maybe you need to remove the old voidshell folder from /data before using 3.0.

I started on Chap 3 about 6 weeks back and then lost interest. I should crack on with it as i want that Monkey King Armour You are right though, just plough through a few games to completion and then delete..

I should have added that i keep the rar files on my 8TB external hdd though, so i can always play them again if i want to.
My download speed is too slow for downloading again. Still no fiber in my street. But there is hope, wife told me that we received an offer for fiber to the house, need to check it out when i am back home on thursday.

Now recently I've been reading reports that it works on internal storage with many games.

My question is: if it works on internal storage, why is it advised to not use it that way? Certainly there's a reason why, but I don't know.

It's due to database rebuilds causing all your games to disappear. So far the only time that happened to me, was when I was actively messing with the database for the y2jb.

Every time I had a kp trying to load the exploit, the handful of times it rebuilt the database or "repaired the drive", it didn't actually wipe anything.

I wonder if it's more likely to happen to someone messing with homebrew, rather than just game dumps. I've seen games say "external only" but I think that might also mean the m.2 slot on the console, since the console itself mounts that drive as an external drive. Plus I've got some same kinds of games on my internal m.2 drive with no issues.

Basically I start all my ps5 dumps as loose files on a usb drive and test them for a bit. Then I package them as ffpkg and test them on the usb drive again to make sure it boots, then I copy it to my ps5 m.2 nvme. I have used exfat on my m.2 nvme but apparently ffpkg is now recommended for that. Dunno if it matters, but I launch all my games from the "etahen/games/" folders on each drive, mounted to the home menu with shadowmountplus.

So far no game dump or ps4 game has caused any database rebuilt that has wiped or reset my icons or anything, again the one time that happened was my fault (and I had a backup so I just ftp'd it back in myself and restarted a bunch of times until everything showed up again).

I've been curious about why people say is it is preferred any other way but the internal drive. All I've found is people saying "see?! It does work or does not work". Is there actually a technical reason of why? I mean, have anyone who works on any of those loaders (etaHEN, Homebrew Launcher,... etc) have given a technical explanation?

for 4.50 ? and where is the advantage on that ? xdddd

No kstuff needed meaning another layer removed from the start. Also possible a53 workarounds..... that's huge!

Keep in mind, garlics website only works on a volunteer basis. Users have to run the payload in worker mode, to donate their system time for save files for the community when they want to use the site

I’ve never seen more then 6 people donating their time at once

Since we're on the same topic, a PS5 game save cannot be signed with a PS4, right?

Correct you can't even backup the ps5 save.

PS5 saves are useless on a PS4. You have 2 options:

1. Move your PS4/P5 saves from a PS5 JB system to another PS5 JB system using the export function of Garlig save Manager.
2. Make a PS5 backup from your JB system and restore it on a non JB system like I did. Then upload the files to the overpriced Sony PSN Cloud service and use modded saves (for example) on other PS5 devices that have PSN.

Thank to the devs for hammering most of Sony's non user-friendly services into the ground.

All Steam Decks use Linux. The cool thing about Linux is that it can now run pretty much all PC games that don't use kernel level anticheat.

There are a lot of people who only have a PS5, so this could open up a lot of opportunities for them - emulation of consoles up to Switch, playing old PC games, etc.

You could even use the PS5 as a regular computer.

There are a ton of advantages to having Linux on PS5.

would we be able to play re9 using steam on ps5 linux once its released?

Depending on the settings maybe

GTA 5 is the only benchmark we have

Almost assuredly yes. It runs well on Steam Deck, so I don't see why it wouldn't on Linux PS5, which is a more powerful device. You could even use hypervisor bypasses for games, although it's kind of complicated to get set up on Linux.
