I got it for Christmas in 2016. Never updated the firmware. It's on 4.01. I haven't really played it much. But now I want to get into it. What are the benefits of a hacked PS4? What are things I can do and can't do? Because right now I really want to play kingdom hearts 3. And have access to the psn. To download dlc and game updates. Would I be able to get those things with a hacked system? Or am I out of luck?

You can update to 5.05 and enjoy a lot of homebrew and back up games, but you can’t play online or play KH3 on 5.05.

This guide will tell you everything you need to know.

Perhaps use it for a while on 5.05 before deciding?

I would recommend selling the low fw console and buying another higher firmware one (or better swap) to allow someone who can’t get hold of a 5.05’able console the chance to do so :)

Well damn. Looks like I'm out of luck unless I buy a new console. Thanks for the quick responses guys.
Like kiiwii Said..hack It , fill It up with some games and sell It for profit..buy another PS4 (Preferable the PRO one)for your needs of newer games.

Can you use this forum to buy/sell/swap?

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @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.

    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.

    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
