>>2007827 Not much going on man.

>>2010470 I guess there's not much further help to get, oh well. Thanks anyways.

>>2010470 >Not much going on man. There is plenty of motion in the PS4/PS5 jailbreaking community. The PS4 just had a breakthrough jailbreak for firmware versions 12.50 & 12.52, with the use of a Blu-Ray exploit.

>>2015755 Damn I got neither.

I was one of the unlucky losers that had a shitty NAND chip for the WIiU. WiiUIdent doesn't even show an MLC anymore. While I can still use it using the emulated NAND on an SD card or whatever, does anyone know if it's possible to still get the data from the busted chip anymore? I assume it will take some soldering knowledge which I can't really do, but maybe I can find someone to hire to do it for me later down the line.

>>2016370 im not familiar with the wii u and its inner workings but assuming the memory isnt encrypted or in some proprietary format you should be able to send the thing to a data recovery place to get your files back

>>2015755 I actually just did this a few days ago. Got an all-in-one blue-ray disc off aliexpress and it was as simple as just pressing X to boot up goldhen. Learned how to download pkg files and transfer them over too, pretty easy. Sucks PS2 emulation is shit on it. One can hope someone can figure out how to make PCSX fully compatible on a jailbroken PS4.

>>2016755 the best thing you can use for emulating ps2 games on ps4 right now is batocera from what ive seen

>>2016370 That sucks. I fired mine up a few months ago to make sure it was still alive.

>>2016755 >Got an all-in-one blue-ray disc off aliexpress I tried buying a disc off of AliExpress but the website failed to complete the purchase for every disc I tried. >>2016078 >Damn I got neither. Have you an Xbox 360? Surely you know of the BadUpdate USB exploit by now. It's the closest we have to a persistent softmod for the console currently. There is a persistent softmod currently in the works by one GrimDoomer, which he says on Twitter is coming along well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeebq-Tdh0k I gather that the PS3 commuinity is working on full custom firmware for the Grill PS3 as well, but that's a ways away.

>>2017785 I've already tried this. It didn't work because it's not bricked, I just got unlucky and probably got one of those Hyliix chips.

>>2017826 >Have you an Xbox 360? I do and I fired it up a couple months ago to see if it was still alive and it red ringed immediately.

>>2017826 >Softmod Things still aren't public but from what I've seen it relies on HDD timings and might be limited to 5400rpm HDDs. RGH for the win >>2019410 There's a lot of reasons one can RRoD. Get your secondary error code, and try another PSU if you have one.

What do anons here think of PS4 jailbreaking ? Do you agree that the value in having one is way less than the previous consoles due to the PS4's unremarkable character, for lack of a better term ? for example: not that many real exclusives, standard ass controller and control scheme, ShadPS4 able to do most things you'd want of a physical PS4 nowadays like playing Bloodborne... It's not like other consoles where its a specific form factor or it having an unusual controller or not having an emulator as a substitute, thats what I mean with calling it unremarkable. The PS4 can also pretty much be redundantly replaced with a PS5 from what I understand. I'm debating whether or not I should sell my Jailbroken PS4, haven't used it since getting a PC 3 years ago, and I'm definitely going to be using it less as time goes on I believe. I ask because I remember regretting selling my PS3 back in the day, but I feel that's different.

>>2020572 I bought a ps4 this year and did so purly because of the good deal on it. There are a few games I am interested in playing specifically in local co-op mode like the divinity original and single player bloodborne. I am like you however looking for a better reason than just "nice to have" to really use it.

Speaking of PS4, what the status of ShadPS4 anyway?

I downloaded VC3 with an auto installed english patch and played it on the PPSSPP, abused save states one too many times, it started crashing mid battle (Whenever I completed the mission or did certain tasks) telling me to verify or redump the game. Few days later in a different mission all the human model textures (Tanks, the map etc are fine) are turbo fucked up. The textures work just fine in different missions Could these 2 things related?

>>2020682 Slowly getting better from what I hear.

>>2020572 I've had a PS5 for about 2 years now with only a select few games I've played on it, and some of those games are also available on PS4. I've had my PS4 pro since it came out but just recently jailbroken a few days ago and I'm already enjoying it more than my PS5. I'll probably stop updating my PS5 just so I can possibly jailbreak that in the future. Either way I'll keep both no matter what I upgrade to because I always want something to have as backup.

>>2020572 >What do anons here think of PS4 jailbreaking ? They need to find a persistent custom firmware exploit already. >Do you agree that the value in having one is way less than the previous consoles If anything the PS4 is undervalued currently. It's still seeing major releases today, at a price that is quite affordable compared to everything else out currently. I expect the price of PS4s to shoot way up once people are fully priced out of the PC market. >>2020671 >I am like you however looking for a better reason than just "nice to have" to really use it. I'm big into the Guitar Hero / Rock Band games, and the PS4 has every DLC song for Rock Band 4 available online.

>>2024819 >mp4 It's not even relatable, it's deeper than that.

>>2024819 >It's still seeing major releases today, at a price that is quite affordable compared to everything else out currently. the similarly priced pc alternative are ps5 reject boards, they go for 100-200$ on ebay right now, downside is you need to tinker a little to make them work

>>2020671 Yeah, trying to find what to do with it is a challenge. >>2020997 The PS4 Pro jailbroken is cooler because you can make use of the 60fps patch in some games and have a lot better experience playing them. >>2024819 >If anything the PS4 is undervalued currently. It's still seeing major releases today, at a price that is quite affordable compared to everything else out currently. I expect the price of PS4s to shoot way up once people are fully priced out of the PC market. Reckon I should wait a bit to sell it then ? I get your theory and it makes sense but I wonder if it could apply to my region here.

>>2020749 I mean it's not unheard of for a game to have issues with save states. Maybe try not cheating and git good

>>2024819 Is that really the best way to play Rock Band/Guitar Hero? I want to get back into it, but dont have a jail broken ps4, and don't want to pay a million dollars just to have all the songs. Plus, the best version is Rock Band 3 anyway, since it has keyboards and even that adapter that lets you use a real guitar (but I guess you needed a special guitar?). I just wanna be able to plug the instruments into my computer so I can easily pirate every song. Can I not do that? How about Rocksmith? How big a pain is that to pirate? And it wouldn't have vocals, right? I want vocals because they're the easiest to get other people to do when you want to have a real band. Also I like doing vocals and an instrument and getting double high scores and feeling like a big shot.

>>2025680 >Reckon I should wait a bit to sell it then ? I'm not helping you sell your console at an inflated price. 3DSs are way more expensive than they ought to be and I don't want to see that happen with PS4s. >>2025310 >they go for 100-200$ on ebay right now, downside is you need to tinker a little to make them work Yeah that's the trend, You can only find cheap 💩 if it's a pain in the ass. >>2025209 >It's not even relatable, it's deeper than that. To think it's only become worse since then. >>2026364 >Is that really the best way to play Rock Band/Guitar Hero? Well that depends... >>2026364 >I just wanna be able to plug the instruments into my computer so I can easily pirate every song. Can I not do that? Okay yeah definitely just download Clone Hero. It's super convenient and there are a gorillion songs readily available for the platform. >>2026364 >And it wouldn't have vocals, right? I want vocals Actually, download Yet Another Rhythm Game. It has vocals unlike Clone Hero, it's a liiiiiiitle bit less retard-proof.

>>2027329 >I'm not helping you sell your console at an inflated price. If only the rest of the world cared. I would love for old consoles and games to have normal pricing so it stops turning into a rich assholes collecting hobby. But I don't make the rules. It's not like I'm running a business selling this one console. And this isn't the same as retro consoles, this is more about certain models increasing in value because their owners arent diagnosed with ADHD and can live without Fortnite for a few months so they don't update the firmware, and in return, get to jailbreak it. You can do the same right now and get any regular PS4 for cheaps and just shelve it, come back to it in a year and you're ought to have a couple exploits waiting for you.

>>2027329 Thanks for the recommendation of YARG. It seems great from the little I've been able to play so far. Unfortunately, I can't get it to recognize my keyboard (Casio CTK-530) using a MIDI Pro PlayStation Adapter, which is the setup I always used to play Rock Band 3. Or rather, YARG recognizes the adapter, and the controller buttons on the adapter work, and the adapter lights up when I press keys on the keyboard (so the adapter seems to recognize the keyboard), but the actual game doesn't recognize any of the keyboard's inputs. Looked around for hours for a solution, but can't find anything online, and I'm not about to make an account on Reddit or whatever just to probably be told it doesn't work because I have an ancient keyboard or the PS3 version of the MIDI adapter isn't supported (even though the Wiki says it is supported for Pro Guitar). That said, maybe some autist here will know. Also, obviously my first order of business was to download every official Rock Band song, but the Google Drive I found with all the songs didn't actually let me download the Rock Band 4 DLC or Rock Band Network DLC. Gotta get on that. I want RB4 stuff because it has harmonies, and I want RBN stuff because some of it has Pro Keys. Once I actually get it to work, then I can look for stuff with Harmonies and Pro Keys, because it always killed me that RB4 didn't support that. But I got all the RB3 songs, and that's pretty cool. (And RB1 and 2, which I have massive nostalgia for, but I'm really in the mood to play keys right now, and it's killing me that I can't get it to work.)

Does anyone know what the least retarded way to get a modern controller working for the original xbox is? All of my original xbox controller's cables are fucking radioactive and leave toxic waste on your hand any time you touch them so I refuse to take them out of the bag.

>>2027329 >>2033551 Alright. None of my guitars work anymore. Guess it's been a few years since I played, and all these devices are over 15 years old. What do people do if they want a new one of these for a reasonable price? I looked online and they do sell new ones, which do look like they've been improved over time, but shelling out over $100 sounds absurd.

>>2033776 You need some kind of controller adapter like the OGX-Mini (recommended and cheaper) or Brook Wingman. https://github.com/wiredopposite/OGX-Mini Some company has also started producing og controllers, pic related is a wireless one.

>>2034746 >OGX-Mini I watched a video recently about that and apparently it has noticeable wireless latency. >Brook Wingman Is the Xbox original port just a fucked up USB port? Am I supposed to just get something that converts it to USB then plug an 8bitdo wireless adapter into that?

>>2033956 What makes you think that they're actually getting anyone to buy them?

>>2038032 >apparently it has noticeable wireless latency I've never used one but I believe it's actually the lowest latency type of adapter you can get, the Wingman is worse. >Is the Xbox original port just a fucked up USB port? You could say that, it won't work with a simple USB adapter, it needs some kind of controller to translate xinput into the Xbox's own input API.

>>2038287 > it needs some kind of controller to translate xinput into the Xbox's own input API Yes I know that much which is why I referenced the 8bitdo adapter, but I forgot that doesn't support the original Xbox. >I've never used one but I believe it's actually the lowest latency type of adapter you can get, the Wingman is worse. Well the 8bitdo adapter I use on the PC has imperceptible latency. I'll try looking into the OGX-Mini a little more since it being a raspberry pi and FOSS is interesting. Though my experience with pi's in the past hasn't been great and I've had insane input latency on them before just using a wireless mouse.
