OTG, external HDD and exploit questions

[Hayato213]

When you mention the wall outlet, are you talking about the PSC's and not the 2.5 external HDD's (which shouldn't even have one), right? Also, this adapter's USB-A port is white so how can it be USB 2.0 and not USB 1.0? I thought white USB-A ports were 1.0.

You connect the otg cable to the power port of the ps classic so you connect the power adapter of the classic to the otg cable, the power go through the otg adapter. That how the adapter work, supply 5v/1A and give the classic addition usb port to allows like Bluetooth dongle/wifi dongle/usb hdd to work.

So, it seems the T Adapter @Ferris1000 showed and an OTG cable are the same. That was confusing me because I thought they were different things.

The one I shown had more ports.

I plan to use only one USB device. I guess any OTG cable which has USB-A and microUSB outputs and a microUSB input should work.

What about the white USB-A port? How come it's 2.0 and not 1.0?

Unless specified it is usb 2.0 is black, usb 1.0 is white, and usb 3.0 typically use blue. The one Ferris1000 show might only be usb 2.0 or 1.0 since it is white.

It seems it's 2.0 as well as other OTG's white USB-A ports. I thought white USB-A ports were always 1.0.

 

[Hayato213]

It looks like it's 2.0 as well as other OTG's white USB-A ports. I thought white USB-A ports were always 1.0.

Usually it is usb 1.0 for white, then again it is Aliexpress so it can be misinformation, may not be 100% accurate since it says usb 2.0 in the listing.

Is AliExpress unreliable? Anyway, I saw examples of this in other websites too.

Is aliexpress not trustworthy? Anyway, I saw examples of this in other sites too.

It is like ordering from ebay but it is from China. It is third party seller on a platform.

It is not that, usually cheaper quality from aliexpress, the item that Ferris1000 listed had good feedback so it should work.

What about SUYAMA's OTG cable?

I'm afraid of the T Adapter @Ferris1000 showed covering the PSC's HDMI port even if I order the right bended one. Does it have to be left or right bended?

 

[Hayato213]

What about the following one?

It says playstation classic on that listing. If you worry about blocking the hdmi, buy the one you show.

Will a problem arise if using the PSC's front USB ports with an OTG cable connected to the PSC's Micro USB port?

 

[Hayato213]

Will I have any problem if using the front USB ports together with an OTG cable connected at the back with its ports busy?

No

 

[Windows_10_User]

No

The T adapter @Ferris1000 showed has to be left or right bended to not cover the PSC's HDMI port?

 

[Hayato213]

The OTG cable Ferris1000 listed has to be left or right bended to not cover the PSC's HDMI port?

Left 90 degree one

 

[Windows_10_User]

Left 90 degree one

I thought it was the right bended one. Anyway, are you sure I should use the PSC's Micro USB port and not one of the front ports?

 

[Hayato213]

I thought it was the right bended one. Anyway, are you sure I should use the PSC's power port and not one of the USB ones?

Of course the micro usb port on the back lol.

 

[Windows_10_User]

Of course the micro usb port on the back lol.

I meant, using the PSC's controller port "2" rather than an OTG cable connected to the console's Micro USB port, like @godreborn suggested.
