Hacking I got a PS4 slim for christmas at firmware 4.01

[Bryon15]

I hooked it up. But I haven't updated it because I heard of a 4.05 exploit coming soon. But is it worth it? I can't play online or access the PSN. Can't download patches for games. I wanted ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, but can't get it. Is it worth waiting for an exploit that might not even be true?

To be honest, unlike the wiiu you're actually losing a lot by staying offline.
If you buy digital (lets remember you can legally play on 2 different consoles with the same license at the same time) then backuping doesnt really matter.

Plus there were/are a nice bunch of good christmas deals...

So shorter answer is: if you only want games and dont care much for homebrew, id suggest going the legit way.

The PS4 scene isn't huge, and even if an exploit was dropped, it could take months to become useful.

If you bought the system, just enjoy it as intended. If you want piracy for ps4 games, just stick to pc b/c there aren't that many exclusives anyway.

Funny, i wanted that game too, but i see is $25 plus i have it on ps3 and psvita, so i'll wait for a sale. If one ever happens.

But i dunno the answer to your questions.

• two exploits have been acknowledged within 5 months, and both have been not relesaed instead reported to sony.
• I am on 4.06 with psn access. so i mean, if you want games, then do what need to be done, if you wanna wait for a POSSIBILITY of a exploit then do what needs to be done.

To be honest, is up to you. I see they have some good sales on playstation store and with the plus subscription makes it worth it most of the time. Unless you have enough games already to keep you busy and wait until one actually is released for use.

Crap. Looks like I'll be updating then.

I don't know, running Dolphin on PS4 4.05 Linux sounds pretty nice...

But I can already play gamecube games on my Wii U with nintendont.

Eh. Just a suggestion. Who knows maybe if we get full Linux driver support we could use some HD textures on these games. The PS4 is powerful enough for that (not 4k, but HD probably). It's all up to you of course!

Actually what I'd like to be able to do is play ps1 and ps2 games on the PS4. Sony sucks for removing backward compatibility.

PS1 is a yes. PS2 is a yes. PS3 is a big no no. Although nothing of the sorts will happen very soon. We just need to wait.

and with the devs saying that they aren't releasing and exploit, we may as well keep on waiting..

I am part of this group, also MrNiato a developer gave us a shoutout. Other devs might be joining soon as well. In case you are wondering back in the PS3 days a group did the same thing including geohot in the group. We are trying to get the 4.05 Linux exploit. So yes eventually things will be released. Just keep waiting and hoping....

I know PS3 is impossible. I still have a PS3 slim that works. It's also unhackable (dammit). Anyway the wait is the hard part. Staying on a lower firmware means I'm not getting the most out of my new system. I can't even put in the code to unlock black goku in xenoverse 2.

I am not forcing you to stay on a lower firmware, just recommending. I will say the same thing I tell others. In the future you are playing online and see modders and think "Damn, i wish I could do that!". Well you had your chance. Good luck anyways!

Yes the reason 3.55 on PS3 is exploitable is because of that group with GeoHot in it. So wish us luck!

Hmm. I think I'll stay on 4.01 for awhile in case something comes from this.

Good choice

I don't believe it is worth it to stay on 4.01 or 4.05. Marcan the developer who made the PS4 Linux kernel stated that he will not release the exploit. Waiting for others to release webkit exploits is kinda foolish because you are literally wasting your money waiting on someone else to do something that they may never release.

Okay nice opinions, we got those to.
