ok thanks, was just curious if the methods have changed for newer Firmware games.Do yo mean playing games which have a minimum firmware requirement of 9.00 on a firmware less than 9.00?
If that's the case, then from what I understand the game/ update for the game need to be backported, so that the PS4 doesn't know that the firmware on your PS4 is too low.
You can do this yourself, but there are various places where people backport games for everyone to enjoy on older firmwares.
If u updated above 5.05 just goto 9.00 almost the same now. don't 9.03 if so u are not going to be able jb any time sooni made a mistake i thought i was on 7.50 or 7.55, i was on 5.05, i updated anyway, if i screwed up oh well.
Do yourself a great service and update to 9.00 theres absolutely no reason to be on 6.72-7.55 b/c 9.00 has superior stability compared to them unless for some reason you cant get a usb stick. Also you wont have to worry about backporting
I think a lot of people like the idea of staying on a firmware like 5.05 - 7.55 purely because they believe a permanent exploit could come out that only works on older firmwares.Was on 7.55 for a year. Do yourself a favor and update. Literally ZERO reason to be on 7xx right now
I heard the news - but what will be possible with it? There are conflicting reports.1.76-7.5x should have some fresh Flatz memes incoming, but if you just want to play pirated games then updating to 9.00 is your choice.
RIP 5.05 console.
Getting the keys on your own console means decryption. Not a lot more. And certainly not CFW.I heard the news - but what will be possible with it? There are conflicting reports.
As always wait it out until you can decide between the two options. If you update now you have no options.7.02 user here I was near to Update to 9.00 but with the new vulnerability found on SAMU we might have something really nice coming ( no perma cfw but pkgi for PS4 for example )
Permanent exploit as in coldboot is false hope. Its the same issue with the Switch lots of ppl would stay on old FW's thinking there would be a permanent solution, but in reality they are missing out on new content over something that may never happen.I think a lot of people like the idea of staying on a firmware like 5.05 - 7.55 purely because they believe a permanent exploit could come out that only works on older firmwares.
As for backporting, it's likely we'll still need a method of backporting games for use on FW9.00 when games that rely on newer firmwares are released. Does anyone have a link to a guide or method of backporting games for yourself?
I've also asked this before, but is there any danger in installing a backported game/ update (For example, FFVII Remake backported for use on 5.05) on a 9.00 console? I can't see any danger, but Godreborn mentioned that it isn't recommended and I'm just looking for some reasons why!
Thanks
Hoping the lower firmware is 8.74 as the PlayStation I have can't seem to update to 9.00 because of the daughter board on the blue ray drive.7.02 user here I was near to Update to 9.00 but with the new vulnerability found on SAMU we might have something really nice coming ( no perma cfw but pkgi for PS4 for example )
Also the 9.0 exploit might be ported to lower FW so maybe we will also have stable jb
you might have a problem. the only firmware I've heard of incoming is 7.02, updating to, when you can't update due to the bd.Hoping the lower firmware is 8.74 as the PlayStation I have can't seem to update to 9.00 because of the daughter board on the blue ray drive.
Yeah, unfortunately it really seems that way unless someone does work on an noBD exploit that can help me get out from under 8.74 to 9.00.you might have a problem. the only firmware I've heard of incoming is 7.02, updating to, when you can't update due to the bd.
