Got mine a week ago aftger reserved for 4 long waiting months! Test Ratched and Clank PS4 on it and it was great. And my PS5 is showing 825GB no problem. Look at my signature below. And I am happy!
You actually have only about 500+ GB available to install games and it is likely to run out very fast. Some PS4 games are so big you can't even have 5 of them on.

I have gone all digital in the later part of PS4. Some games download fairly fast but some are very slow. For the fast ones swapping them out is fairly painless still it isn't nice to need to do that just days after getting my PS5.

Really ? I check how many left in my PS5 and it is showing 825 GB available unless I am missing something ?

I dont plan to store ps4 games on it thought. Only External Hard Drive one day. I am focus my PS4 games on my PS4 for now. I just test one of them on PS5 and it works great and thats all. I wont store more ps4 games on PS5 at all.

Therefore, if I have to then I can only play one or two games on it then delete them since I have PS4 games on my External Hard Drive anyway. :)

825 is only on the box. The screen shows 667G and there is this others which is 102G so there is only about 550-560 G for games. PS4 games loads faster on the internal storage. I am not moving my PS4 external storage and not buying a new one to store PS4 games on PS5. I like the faster load time, an advantage of running it on PS5 internal storage. Some PS4 games still takes a while to load though. Now it is at least on par with PC as far as loading speed is concern.

That's cool. One day, I am transferring them to SSD portable since external hard drive was noise and annoying even on tha table it virbated when i felt it. UGH!

Once I got SSD portables fthen I will use those on SSD portable. And I will sell those external hard drive after erased and reformat them to be an empty. I took great care of those several external hard drive and in great condition. That's why I am very responsible for those technology things. :)

If I am not wrong external SSD is not supported for PS5 games. You have to by a compatible MVMe drive when that becomes available. There is a MVMe slot inside but current firmware don't support anything yet.

Yeah but 30fps doesnt bother me at all.

Just saying a PS4 game with no PS5 patch for graphics OR framerate improvements was an odd choice for saying the PS5 works great. If that makes sense. Seems more appropriate to say something like "I tried the Demons Souls remake and it worked great!!!" or "I tried God of War with the PS5 update and it works great!!!" ;)

where did you found stock of it?, i want to buy one.

You won't find one.. Very minimum one if you are very fortunately. Almost impossible. You will have to ask your local or online if they can reserve one for you.

I did last November when it was first released and they reserved one for me and I waited for 4 months!! I finally got one few weeks ago.

I really wish more ppl, especially OUR developers here on gbatemp had a console. I updated to download my ps4 games and seen your sig and now im kickin myself in the ass lol.
There just isn't enough support and help/info for the PS5 here.
Although since most console will have been updated anyways after each console drop we should be okay right?

60fps patch for the game was released yesterday. I get what you're saying about 30fps not "bothering" you, but I also feel that like me, 30fps is only NOT bothersome when there's zero other option to play higher than that. But after playing R&C 2002 in 60fps.... 30fps absolutely DOES bother me. Are you going to just not update it and continue playing at 30fps? ;)

where did you found stock of it?, i want to buy one.

You need to follow the PS5 Restock/PS5 Drop accounts on Twitter & set up notifications to alert you when there's stock, and also be signed in and ready to checkout the moment you get an alert. That's how the majority of people, including myself, are getting them at retail price.

Yup,that's how I got mine.

Oye,
Tengo una pregunta: ¿hay alguna posibilidad de que pueda usar el controlador de la PS4 y conectarlo a mi nueva PS5?

Lo gané hace 2 días y obtuve solo un controlador, ¡pero me gustaría jugar UFC con mis amigos!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
