      I was just saying how I wouldn’t even pirate that game. It’s sad because I’m a huge Wolverine fan, but it looks like a trash game.

      Loved all three Insomniac Spider-Man games. Platinum’s all three, but I’m not shelling out $70 for Wolverine.

    This sounds really fucking cool! Sadly I have no idea how to use / do any of it. What do I need to learn to be able to implement something like this?

      Not much TBH, it requires blocking Sony servers using DNS (stoping automatic updates). Then visting a specific website to load the exploits.

      After the exploit is loaded your can install any custom packages as you like.

    I’m on firmware 13.6 but almost updated a week ago.

    Now I just have to prevent my 9 year old son from updating it when playing Roblox and it might one day become my Linux gaming PC instead of buying a pre-built when prices go down.

    Let’s hope the new exploit helps the PS5 Linux scene.

      The modded warfare YouTube channel has a tutorial on how to block updates on any firmware.

      You’ll probably want to bookmark his channel if you’re planning on hacking your PS5.

      You can probably block the PS5 from reaching the update servers to be safe

          I’m not rooting for Roblox but hés playing some interesting games on it and it now lead him to try some management games on Steam now.

          I have a way better feeling about Roblox than about Fortnite where he used his allowance to get skins and other stuff.

          I’m not saying you don’t have predators and stupid games on Roblox, but it’s not just this.

          Probably still easier to just adjust the DNS settings to block Sony servers. Do this under your network DNS setting on your ps5.

    Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.

    I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway…

      You could look into who down voted you and ask them. Could be quite interesting.

        I think that ability is a instance to instance type of thing. I cannot see who’s downvoting on the .world instance.

          There are dedicated online tools for that, that use the federation data an expose it, afaik. I don’t remember any links though, don’t see much use for that except for obsessing over ‘karma’

      …it seems someone took it as a personal insult that you haven’t wanted to play PS5 games for an indeterminate time period prior to the hack.

      Sometimes the internet just be that way.
