After several months of testing and compiling data I have finally found time to update FRMCHK so I have made this thread to keep people up to date the status and features.

Currently there are a number of game genre categories, filters for things like verified dumped games (including update versions), DLC, Back Ports (5.05/6.72), predefined ranges for firmwares and much more!

The firmware ranges include 1.00-5.05/6.72/7.02/7.55/8.03, or everything in the DB. The purpose is to identify games by date and confirmed firmware requirements for anyone on any firmware including legit OFW users.

You can search for games using the search function and using some funky terms and operators such as “|” to truncate searches (for example “OFW672|OFW671”) you can search for multiple items in one go to yield more results.

Don’t forget that this tool links to ORBISPATCHES to download legit updates, METACRITIC for aggregated review scores and SERIALSTATION and PSN for further title information. You can also use it to download firmware files, which are MD5 verified, and you can even download the icon files for your favourite games.

If you have any game related information you can share or spot any missing titles; please let me know in this thread. I am constantly updating the database so any help I can get will only serve to improve the reliability of this tool!

Though I have included the exact firmware selector the data is EST (estimated) in most cases, as opposed to OFW (confirmed), so more data is needed.

As ever, this tool is free to use, but should you wish to donate there is my KOFI link at the bottom of the site.

Enjoy!

@KiiWii Bug maybe?

Selecting 7.00-7.55 results in 1417 games listed for '7.00-7.55 FW' under 'All Categories'.
Selecting 7.50-7.55 results in 2069 games listed for '7.50-7.55 FW' under 'All Categories'.

How does that make sense? haha

Hey @KiiWii I have a new question for you:

Are we losing something by not updating from 5.05 to 6.72-7.02?

(I'm talking about already jailbroken consoles.) As title says. I mean by losing, Sony add new libraries, optimizations, etc. with newer updates and new games that need these updated firmwares normally. Say RDR2, has require approx. 6.00 and if we play it on 5.05 console, can we have fps, graphical loss or something?

No, if anything 5.05 can play 90% of back ports just the same as if it were on 7.02. The odd few have game breaking issues or just don’t start. But it’s less and less by the day :)

5.05 ftw.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
