What is the point
That's neat but what's the point?Even if you can run Linux on the PS5 and install any game you want it's just a mid range PC. We need CFW like we had on PS3 so I can pirate games and run homebrew.
>>108715518Does it wreck the PS5 for playing PS5 games?
>>108715518Let me guess, it only works with a thumb drive connected, and only with an early ps5 firmware that is basically unobtanium?
>>108715518if discs still work fine then it could be a pretty handy all in one solution given that you don't play demanding modern pc games, but I bet those early firmwares are only in about 3 ps5 phats total
>>108715532>it's just a mid range PC.You mean it was a mid-range PC back when it was first released, now it's a shit-tier PCPS2 or PS3 linux had a point due to unusual architectures, but past that it's just 'meh' PCs
>>108715607It's basically an R7 3700X and Radeon 6700XT right? It's still serviceable, but anyone who bought before the RAM apocalypse probably has a better PC.
do the drivers make games work good?the ps5 has no gaems anyway, so i'll just use steam and proton instead.
>>108715518that's a pretty sweet penguinalso, doesn't asrock or whatever's been selling what's basically a ps5 on a smaller form factor and with pcie slot for years now?
>>108715530Some people especially young kids are given consoles but not a PCThis is a good way for a kid with a console to use it for something more productive and maybe even learn Linux
>>108715677BC250.Though that has it's own set of limitations and unless you've got a 3d printer and are willing to jank something together it's really not that good.That being said, it's still an equivalent system to an rtx2060 & 2600x that you can put together for under $250 if you're handy with your components.The PS5 running linux would be much better as it has all cu's intact, but it requires this one specific firmware and I think it still requires a masonic handshake every boot to use linux rather than booting into PS-os and automatically updating firmware.
I wonder how the games work. I remember thinking that I could play pc games on ps3-linux until hearing that the architecture was too different from the target architecture for the games so it wouldn't work.
hmm 16 gigs of vram. might be a nice way run a little slop inference machine.
>>108715794If you don't mind listening to a brit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpFTzQMyqOg
>>108715799It's gddr6 and the 16 gigs are split between system ram and vram. Not as goos as you might think.
>>108715530To run games on it.
>>108715623it's an apu with super high latency memory, the cpu side is comparable to zen 1
>>108715815probably okay for running smaller services like stt/tts maybe some potato imagegen
>>108715838I'm curious what sort of results it will get in memory benchmarks, especially the latency.
>>108715841I know people haven't been able to get rocm running.
>>108715854ooftb h might not be the worst thing. if it actually became useful people would go out start buying up stock - next thing you know base ps5 $999
>>108715854there are vulkan accelerated tts and stt built into kobold.cpp
>>108715832PS5 has no games though.
Do all the drivers work properly? Can you just run ROMs on it?
>>108715882There was a video on bird site running the windows gta 5 special edition on it
>>108715875With linux it will have at least 1 game.
>>108715518Play Stations are a pretty good Blu Ray player. Curious to figure out their capability when it comes to blu ray burning... though it's going to be a pain to adapt the firmware.
>>108715851they reviewed the ps5 apu. tomshardware has one up. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-4700s-desktop-kit-review-ps5-cpu
>>108715964The drives they use don't burn but it shouldn't have any issue reading a 2x speed backup
Actually it's pretty neat. Now PS5 can play literally any playstation game. 4/5 natively and 1/2/3 emulated. And also most of steam junk like deadlock, cs2, dota2 etc.I kept a low firmware PS5 at home hoping I would develop my exploit development skills, but I'm too retarded, so I'll just install Linux on it by following a guide.
>>108715518firmware v4.... so i shouldn't have updated my firmware for how many years?
>>108715518Wtf finally a reason to use my launch ps5 after beating demons souls.Literally untouched since.
>>108715530Steam.
>>108715588I looked into it. Basically requires a PS5 that hasn't been online since March of 2022. You know, back when there was a massive shortage of these things and niggers were waiting to rob people of them outside of stores. Good luck finding one that hasn't been updated. Even worse is you have a six month window versions 4.0 to 4.5 if you want to use the NVME drive.
>>108715605They don't. the games require BSD to run.
>>108715518>PS5 has no ga-
>>108717341>troonix racerso negative games then
>>108717096You can just update it from a lower firmware, so the window is since release
>>108717446Wonderful. So a tiny percentage of 20% of the consoles that sold in that period. Probably even smaller since it seems to only be the fat console. I might pick up a bc250 though. Seems like a fun project to make use of old LED power supplies and shitty fans.
>>108715530It's ways to make your $600 paper weight even more useless! Troonix users love to waste their money on paper weights and pretend they are hip and cool hackers.
>>108716233You should never update firmware on consoles.
>>108715532>just a mid range PC.Which, with prices being what they are is better than a "mid-range PC" right now.
>>108715518Sick?Does the AMD GPU driver just work?
>>108717341lmao well played
>>108715570The exact opposite actually
anyone who pays $600 for a PS5 a year before the PS6 comes out is a retard.wtf happened to console price cuts? the PS3 was like $200 at this point in its life (Super Slim)
>>108718774What do you think a "mid-range" PC is?
>>108715518It's great I got a backup pc nowwill need to get a 1tb m.2
>>108721006only if you bought your ps5 six to four years ago and haven't connected it to the internet since march of 2022.
>>108721111Mine is 4.03, I got the thing on launch day to play ratchet mainly, traded in a ps4 pro I got on prime day 2018. Been keeping it around since I can pirate all the ps4 games and held after taking the firmware any higher because Sony released most the games on PC anyway.
>>108721183I'd wait until word starts getting around about these and youtubers start making their videos, then put it up on ebay at a considerable markup.
>>108715518I can just use my PC instead of not buying a PS5 and hacking it.
>>108721192I'll probably have my fun with it first for the next couple years until the hardware price crisis settles down
>>108721212anyone who already owns one or gets one for free/cheap that wants to expand its functionality especially the discless models will make excellent LAN machines, minecraft servers, NAS/media PC, anything you can think of
i'm waiting for the bazzite iso for the ps5.
I remember them doing this PS3 and it was supposed to be some super computer because the cell processor had so many cores.
>>108716107If the BR laser can hit 100mW, they can be adapted to burn. I dont think Nichia manufactures blue lasers with 5mW only.
>>108721910violett lasers*
>>108721910In all reality though, there might be a need to do some work on the circuit, may not actually be able to deliver the necessary power to the laser
Are you able to rip 4k blu rays?
>>108715518Any benchmarks comparing it to a BC-250?
Hoping for a digital foundry video but I doubt they have a low firmware console on hand
>>108715530Also, what's the point of preventing use of apps on "game" computers?
>>108715875
>>108715518pretty cool when my pc died years back i used ps4 linux for a week or so while i waited for parts to arrive
>>108722921what was your experience of it? the hardware on the ps4 should be fine for a "PC", but in current year ain't it a bit weak for... everything but a web browser?
>>108723037well it was a pc was fine for web/ youtube i did try playing csgo on there but the ps4 was way too weak kek. did play a bit of cs source
>>108715875Now it has Tux Kart.
>>108723219well, it worked, so that's that and that's good. the idea is neat, being small and compact, switch OS and do some gamang on the PS OS, on linux do office stuff with wine.
