my ps4 slim was giving me a heart attack
I turned it off and it went out wrong
I turned it on and as usual it was checking the hdd
it didn't do the whole check
it told me impossible to boot the ps4 and that I had to plug in the controller
after plugging it in it told me to install 9.00 or higher and I inserted the pendrive
corrupted file it told me
then I did the scandisk I reinstalled the firmware from recovery and when it finished again it did the check and still problems
I went through all the possible and unimaginable attempts
finally I formatted the ps4 from recovery and it fixed itself
i lost all the fucking savedataoooooooo
what the fuck happened to the ps4? why couldn't it boot?

Corruption I gather. You should activate your system, the use the official, export method to backup saves. Your hdd may be dying, so I'd check it before redoing everything.

a few months ago with apollo i copied the savedata and then i formatted
then with apollo I activated the system and started a new game and then I went back to apollo and replaced the save
after what happened to me that the ps4 didn't start up i sometimes backup my savedata
I have 9.00 and I jailbreak

Then I'd redo that with what you have. I'd definitely check the internal hdd first.

i think its not the internal hdd
I wanted to watch videos from the external hdd
after a while the video stopped and it was a new video that I copied via ftp from the smartphone to the external hdd with the ps4
then i played another video from the external hdd and this video also stopped
I turned off the ps4 and turned it on and it couldn't boot
maybe you had to format the internal hdd i used it a lot
if it happens again after a short time that I formatted it I worry
the internal hdd needs to be changed
i reinstalled almost all the apps
I started the video that was interrupted yesterday
it didn't stop
PS4 just got faster
with apollo I tried to restore a savedata without activating the ps4 and the savedata was restored

Did you, maybe, replace the power button? Or do you mean that it works, but it doesn't turn on the console? Also, probably make a new thread.

    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
