Hey All,

Don't know if you guys have heard but there is a guy by the name of racer0018 who claims to have a way of installing Linux on Playstation 4 beta firmware 4.50. Now I'm not sure how legit this is mainly because many people on the scene have had hit and misses from this guy in terms of downgrading and other services but it would be cool to see where this possible exploit leads to.

Check it out for more information:

don't believe that site. I believe it's run by the same group as ps3news. ps3news was the site that had all the fake ps3 cfw on it.

It was confirmed to be a fake anyway. So, the answer is as always: no.
why do I see more fakes in the ps/xbox scenes than I do with the 3ds/wiiu scenes? why are people more honest with their releases on the nintendo side of homebrew than the other consoles?? it just doesn't make sense to build up a website (which costs money to keep it on the web) just to troll others with fake exploits??

because playstations and xbox's have more hype for piracy and homebrew than nintendo products...piracy is a want for more on those consoles than nintendos

but, nintendo, sony and, microsoft use homebrew for only community made apps and piracy... what's with the extra hype?? as nintendo becomes more like sony/microsoft in the next 5-10 years, we'll see the same kind of unnecessary hype for it... so why does it have this unnecessary hype?? it can't be just because of the brand name?? there has to be a reason why people want a jailbroken ps4 more than a jailbroken switch or n3ds??

Well, not like I really follow PS360, but "we"'ve had our fair share of vaporware (in both good and bad faith) this generation - Hykem/SALT/bootroms are just the 3 most famous ones :>
but, they weren't hyped enough for people to scam peoples info just for the chance to get the files of breaks that don't exist... I just don't know how or why homebrew is such a thing that is worth scamming people over.. I've seen a warning when installing bannerbomb saying that if you paid any currency for the hack that you were scammed and you should ask for your money back... I just don't understand why people would go sell modded profiles or scam people of their personal info through surveys just to scam people who just want a jailbroken console... I'm just at shock and mystique of why anyone would do this sort of thing when you can just regularly just release honest releases and honest jailbreaks without being part of that crowd of douches and dicks that just want to fuck up the scene or name it in vain...

Welcome to money whores. These type of people earn $$ [or adrevenue *cough*PSHAX*cough*] by fooling people into 'real jailbreak they developed but it's protected from copyright so you need to fill this survey out' bait. PS4 and XBONE are overall popular consoles and people just want to profit off typical Joe.

more expensive games for pirating...people can't always shell out 60-80 bucks for a new game they want

is there any other type of website besides gbatemp where I can get real ps4 hax info? like a twitter page? or something that isn't a complete waste of my time??

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
