So I got Red Dead Redemption 2 (got it for a good price) and my ps4 is on fw 5.55 but I don't want to update past this due to the potential release of an exploit.

Could I run Red Dead 2 on 5.55? Otherwise I might just sell it.. Couldnt find any info on the firmware requirement..

ah okay, thats a shame... well thx for the info, I will sell it then :(

5.55 probably isn't getting hacked any time soon either. I've heard it could be up to a year. It's up to you but I'd just update and enjoy it and if you can afford it buy another PS4 on 5.05 and hack it.

Does the game actually need something from the system update or is spoofing possible like the wii u used to be?
I believe the main issue is that we cannot dump games requiring higher firmwares simply b/c they aren't exploited to allow us. Its different than ps3 or wii u b/c we weren't restricted in dumping games by firmware to make spoofing possible on lower firms

So even if we use a lower PS4 FW as an entry point, we can't then upgrade to a higher version CFW like on the PS3 or spoof a higher version to boot newer games?

Nah, we don't have ps4 CFW yet. no way to spoof and no way to update without losing the entry-point. It's a "wait-and-hope" situation right now.

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
