I haven't used my r4 in a long time and want to update it, but when i look at the available firmwares, there's like a million of them. I have no clue which to use !

I'm using the original R4 with 1.18 (traditional Chinese) firmware.

WOOD R4 reached 1.18 but the original Chinese firmware stopped at 1.18.....That can be kind of confusing....WOOD R4 rocks, it updates regularly and always has the latest games fixes.

Thanks for the quick replies ! ! I followed the guide tk saturn wrote and managed to get it updated to woods r4 1.18 perfectly. I never knew so many people picked up where the original left off.

    Honestly I'd recommend something like this just $15 more than a mechanical drive https://a.co/d/dOT73f5
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Is it the super slim, original slim, or phat?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    No real advantage of using ssd in PS3/X360, they use old Sata1/2 interface. Maybe get little read speed dif but hardly noticeable.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Slim
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No moving parts the better with hardware ssd has longer chance of life
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    With a much bigger price tag
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    $15 isn't a huge price difference
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv3, Yup, I was thinking of that because the super slims cannot have custom firmware installed, you can only do PS3HEN which is like a soft-mod of sorts but not permanent.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    1tb ssd is like$50 all across the board
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    shit, compare 1tb ssd to a 1tb sata hd, more than $15 dif
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Still $50 for a 1tb isn't a huge price tag difference
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok you do you.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, 1TB SSDs don't cost all that much nowadays, you should be good to go with one. Nothing too abysmal like 16TB as you're going to be using a small portion of that.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'm buying a 4tb m.2 eventually that's around 250 that's when it gets costly
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @SylverReZ Yea i know, was just trying to show him a $32 1tb deal.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Imagine fitting an entire petabyte of storage into a PS3. Turn it into a flux supercomputer lol.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bet that'll require some partitioning if the PS3 cannot accept any hard disk beyond that size.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    At the time ps3 was considered top of the line specs so I could see a massive link up of them
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, I can see that. :)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @SylverReZ, Yea 1.5tb max on PS3
