Ive dutifully been waiting on Firmware version 4.03, but im getting really bored with it.

I still enjoy collecting games, but any of my recent purchases either dont install at all, or have day 1 patches that need a higher firmware.

My only options are to just let it sit unused and play something on other platforms or to update.

Buying a second PS5 just isnt doable for me. (because of the cost and increased EMF of having a second unit)

If they could crack it wide open like the switch or ps3 I’m in, if it’s like ps4 where it’s mostly piracy (and it’s also a pain to use the exploit) then never mind.

I own 4x PS3s, a PS4 Slim 9.00, and a PS4 Pro 9.00. Guess which one I'm using the most these days? PS3 because of the games it has.

It's still good for YouTube despite the UI being a bit slow. Great to watch any region Blu-ray/DVD, except I have no desire for that now since Sony kept forcing users to update the console *just* to watch a BD and that killed it for me.

Yeah, it's more and more restrictive with each new generation of consoles from cfw or simple ways to do everything.

I only hacked the PS3 in 2018 but isn't that the case for all PSs since PSP, I mean, having to wait until a more recent OFW is jailbroken to be able to play the most recent games?

I think the ps3 was cracked in 2010 due to a huge mistake by Sony.
The famous 3.55 OFW.

https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/3.55_CEX

I remember my PS3 Slim having 3.55 and I stupidly updated as I prioritized online play over homebrew. Turns out I didn't play online much.

When I bought my Xbox 360, it got even less use as I bought XBLA games when on offer and retail ones. Sonic 4 Episode 1 & 2 weren't very good, but as a Sonic fan I still enjoyed them (especially Episode 2 although not as good as the Android port).

Speaking of Sonic 4, Episode 1 on Windows Phone was more of a DS hybrid game. That's honestly awesome. :) Gotta see about using a WP emulator to play that version.

2010 was mostly psjailbreak dongles, which was a heap overflow in the usb code
fail0verflow showed on 29th december how linux could be run on any system due to sony messing up the signing and allowing the private key to be factored. They didn't publish the key.

Geohotz published the metldr key in 2011 and made the first CFW that allowed PKG to be installed. But you were stuck on an old version, 3.55 I think.

It wasn't until 2012 that the lv0 root keys were extracted and you could be up to date with latest FW releases.

Just update its not worth not using it even theirs a chance of CFW in a couple years and just have some savings so you can buy a 2ND PS5 in a couple months also electro magnetic fields will not hurt you don't be daft

    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
