1. side should be fine. less work (as you need to screw the base to use it vertically) and iirc no liquid metal issue
2. it depends. some games will differ. but ps4 games running on ps5 will run as if they were running on a PS4 Pro (4K, sometimes increased framerate) and sometimes they may need patches to run the game at a higher framerate. some games do or don't. but when they make a PS5 version it's made with the console's new features in mind. loading might be faster, game might use haptics/adaptive triggers. sometimes it might just be resolution/framerate. or nothing at all, tbh. it varies too much that it is confusing.

Yeah, and if your a trophy person, some trophies carry over from ps4 to ps5 only, from ps5 to ps4 only, both ways, or not at all. I saw a list someone started for that. It's a confusing mess tbh.

1. Is it the Digital version? You shouldnt use the Disk Version Horizontally without a stand. The whole "Vertical lets the Liquid metal out" thing is pretty bonkers. it happened for a few and in those cases there is suspected that the barriers holding the liquid metal were damaged through hard shocks, like dropping the console to the floor. I have my PS5 for over a year now and it stands Vertically ever since. no Problems.

2. In most cases, better performance, shorter loading, higher resolution and in some cases even better textures and models but thats rare.

Just out of interest: why don't you just use the stand ???

One other difference is that ps4 games can be played from an external, 3.0 (must be 3.0 or higher) or ssd. Ps5 games must be on the internal m2 or the expansion m2. Neither loads from the disc.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
