Kind of a confusing topic, but suffice to say I have two PS3s and one PS4, all exploitable.

-PS3 Phat - was gaming on it then one day it YLOD on me. Somewhat annoyed. Has a lot of trophies from backup games that have not sync'd to Sony servers.

-PS3 Slim - Legit only, but nonetheless exploitable

-PS4 Pro - Legit only, on firmware 9.0

So I'm wondering, will I be able to transfer all my content to just my PS4 Pro after running the exploit? I'm talkin being able to run all my PS3 backups as before? Will I be able to sync my profile after this?

Should I just mod my PS3 Slim and transfer my content from my fat to my Slim? Then give up on any aspirations to sync my trophies?

I don't really care for online play, but it seems I can't play online on firmwares lower than the current firmware anyway. It looks like if I install a chip in my PS4, I can dump the 9.0 firmware, update to play online, then downgrade again to play hacks.

Are you asking if you can run PS3 backups on PS4? The answer is no, there was no backwards compatibility between PS3 to PS4.

Edit: nm I guess you're asking about legit content. The answer is still no, you can't connect to your profile on PS4 unless you update to latest firmware, and then there's no hack. Latest hack is 9.0 firmware. As far as what you're saying about installing a chip on PS4 I'm not familiar with that. I've heard there's some sort of soldering you can do to your PS4 to downgrade but I've never needed to. Probably going to be more trouble than it's worth if it's even real.

Ah alright, you've pretty much answered the questions I had.

The downgrade was covered here:

He basically dumped the 9.0 firmware using a Teensy 2.0. He explained that once you dump the 9.0 firmware, you can flash back whenever you want even after updating. But if I can't transfer my content to PS4 anyway, then I might as well mod my slim PS3 anyway.

You need compatible syscon chip.

Ah, noted. I probably don't have that system chip on the PS4 Pro. Oh well. I think I've played everything I wanted on PS4 anyway, so I might just leave it stock then. Guess I'll be hacking my PS3 slim!

It looks like there's a legitimate chance of ban on the PS3 by just syncing my trophies, and an account ban would crush all my paid for content.

When it comes to CFW/HEN consoles and OFW consoles, keep the content separated (i.e. don't log in to a hacked PS3 with your main PSN account( than try to merge it for convenience. I sure wouldn't want my PSN account that I've had since 2010 to get banned for some digital trophies or whatever.

Jay covered you, anyway.

for the off topic question but does anyone know or know of anyone who knows how to make a patch for a media app? It’s also on homebrew store, looking for help.

    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.
