The Soulja Boy Poop Out of Mouth Out - Atari Zombie Inside (or maybe not)

[deadlegion]

After having it simply gathering dust for years, I've finally turned my PS4 back on

Spoiler warning:

and exploited it. 5.05 HEN cached for offline use.
Time to try out some fake pkg games (including some backports) I've backed up over the last year or so
I might even try some PS2 ports I've collected too.

another long sunday.

If you feel like playing something MP I'd probably be down for it, game dependent.

Played PT demo for a bit and now I'm playing Days Gone (backport with DLC).
Organising some more games to install...

actually I've been getting into arcanum it's quite a bit easier when you have more than 1 partner. I'm currently in the big city doing some questing.

so does that work similar to ps3 HEN or is it more like HAN(pkg only no iso or JB folder support)?

RPGs like that are generally balanced for a party.

switching from real time to turn based combat helps too. much like it does in fallout.

Pkg only but they're fake pkg not retail.
Most games have been backported to 5.05 so there's a lot available, and they're very easy to find (on reddit etc).

PS4 HEN isn't persistent, if you power off completely you need to exploit again. Use rest mode and it's still there.
Install pkg via debug settings...
But even power off isn't so bad on 5.05 because it has high exploit success (like 98%) and you can cache everything you need for offline.

It isn't as stressful as I thought it would be But I guess I've been reading too many complaints about higher firmware issues.

do you have to sign them like you would for ps3 han?
with ps3 hen it was permanent but you had to activate it every time it had a low failure rate but when it did fail(at least for me) it take another try or 2(I don't think it ever failed more than 3 times in a row for me)

Turn based is fine but I need to start out playing it that way or it'll feel like a slog whenever there's a huge battle. I prefer to pause as needed when it's either or.

They're fake pkg's, you don't need to sign them yourself to work on your specific console but you can't use retail psn pkg's.
As I said they're easy to find, I have loads of them already. Some have DLC too and some of them need backport fixes. Sometimes the backport will be a small patch, sometimes it's an update that has been patched so it'll update the game as well as backport to 5.05. The backports are pkg though.

All you do is install fake pkg from usb (exfat).

How to actually make a fake pkg is more complicated and I don't need to bother about it. I didn't have anything on my console that wasn't already dumped.

Well I've tested Days Gone for hours now and had no issues, it's the first backport I've tried.

Now I'm installing:
Daymare 1998
Xuan-Yuan Sword VII
Death Stranding + DLC's

It's after 3am so I'll leave testing those until tomorrow or whenever and then move onto another bunch of games.

Oh wow. Just noticed a 60fps mod patch for Witcher 3 goty. Also PC graphics settings were ported over, you can change resolution and a bunch of stuff apparently.
I think Pro is recommended but 60fps might be possible on base PS4 if you lower resolution. Maybe some other settings could be tweaked there.
