Hacking Worth updating to 7.02?

[apoptygma]

As far as I can see there's no benefit, other than that most of the payload pages getting current updates are targeting 7.02 now, I'm currently on 6.72 by the way. Also I have an esp8266 and I'm not able to find an image which includes a (cache) option like most of the other self-hosted solutions currently have, is there such a thing? Would be good to not have to leave the device connected for every reboot

Stick with 6.72, most 7.02 back ports work fine on 6.72. Sack off the ESP and cache @leefuls 6.72 PS-Phive!

Far less kernel panics than 6.72, in my experience. It shows more memory errors but kernel panics seem pretty rare.

heard from my friend that actually had a 6.72 system and he got tired of this KP madness on 6.72 so he updated to 7.02 since then, he never regret it, yeah sure he needs to get the exploit trigger for X amount of tries, but no KP, I recommended him dmiller's host and he was satisfied with it, I just warned him that if he see a message regarding "cannot find slave..." which is basically a guaranteed KP if you press OK or exit the internet browser, so press and hold the PS button and perform a restart.

still if you think your success rate with 6.72 is good enough, then stick with it.

I will clearly not advise you to update it for the moment.
I did it and i regret it.
Rest mode is broken which is a big painpoint for me.

afaik, most 7.02 games don't even need a backport to 6.72, so I'd stick with that. I think it depends on sdk used, which you can find in ps4 pkg viewer.

What happens if you install a 7.02 game on 6.72 built with the 6.50 SDK - will it just boot after install or do you need to spoof the console FW???

 

[godreborn]

afaik, it will just boot.

like this: final fantasy vii remake says 6.50, but it's 7.02 game:

It depends to whom you ask it... ^__~

Great point!
Rest mode is definitely big. The hoops w/ the browser exploit are not super-time consuming, but yeah.
I do worry about the machine once winter is over and the ambient temp changes in my server room.
But, we'll see, hopefully a 7.02 PS4 can live as an always-on linux alternative to NVIDIA shield tv / firestick / well you know.

I have both 6.72&7.02, And Im telling you the only thing that benefits you on 7.02 is rare KP's thats about it. Every dumped 7.02 fpkg ive played works on 6.72. FF7 Remake and Persona 5 Royal Eng both work on 6.72 they just require to be dumped from 7.02. Both firmware's do not need to rely on back-porting.

Can someone post a link to a guide to back port games like ffvii remake and others to 5.05? and does the NHL2020 game work back ported?

Thanks

Use modded warfares Back Port tools, or Noob’s or retrogamers, or ripperd’s... Give it a try and report back success of fails with back porting.

I’m currently in the process of adding info to FRMCHK regarding what issues exactly back ports have or don’t have.

I'm after an ESP8266 solution as opposed to using a PC sorry

So its time for me to move to 6.72 from 5.05 ?

They were “currently on 6.72”.

5.05 is always the best.
