Hey there, guys. It's been some time since i was visiting these forums. But here i am again looking for info on new technology.

This is about the Sony Playstation 4, of course. I ran some search terms on the forums but found nothing either because PS4 is just too short and no one writes playstation4 - i wrote both so searches can lead here, eventually.

Anyway, I've saw a few info on the glitches the PS4 had at launch date. I want to make sure about its bad behaviors because my plan is to buy one this month. No rush, i've waited nearly what, six months? Just don't want to get a slim version anymore.

Also, i was surprised that the very tutorials and faqs area for the PS4 didn't have any topic with some gathered documentation on what kind of issues it can have to help people identify the, quickly.

In the beginning, there were some hardware issues with the PS4 involving the HDMI port. This has since been fixed, and at this point there are little to no major bugs or issues with the PS4 that I've heard of.

That said, there are of course various small software bugs and such just as there are with any console, but nothing that will kill your system. I've had my PS4 since launch, and the only issues I've had involved games that would crash every now and again, which hasn't happened for a while now...

Well, i guess no news here is good news then? Hoping that i still can buy it for the price i heard two months ago, if not cheaper... And maybe wait a LOT for the games. Still not sure what to get first on it. Was really just concerned about getting one and running into one of the console-killing bugs from launch.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
