If you have the keys to the BootROM, you effectively own the hardware. You can decrypt the bootloader. You can reverse-engineer the “Chain of Trust.” You can see exactly how the PS5 wakes up and decides what software is allowed to run.

porky-scared Security Nightmare!

Oh no! I wanted Sony to own the hardware, not me

Gonna play GTA6 emulated on PC at 60fps before a PC version is even out lmaooo

Gonna be able to encourage so many people to emulate and not give Rockstar money for their union busting. It is so much easier to encourage people to pirate instead of boycott.

Hope you're reading this Rockstar

Sony and Good IT Security, name a more iconic duo

Nintendo and good IT security.

Hilarious. Here's to linux on the ps triple plus 2.

Amazing, finally I can Hannah Montana my PS5 (that I've ever used for 1 game anyway).

The PS Pentuple

Hell yeah make Sony squirm

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

Finally, I can play all those great PS5 exclusives like….uhhh…I mean, there has to be at least one, right?

[-] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Only one I care about is the Demon's Souls remake.

[-] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Astrobot, Yotei, DS2, and I guess Gran Turismo? There are probably others, but it’s not like it was 20 years ago when games were usually just on one platform.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Astro Bot seems like it's good, Yotei is coming to PC eventually. This might be a hot take but I'm playing Tsushima right now and don't think it's anything special, style over substance for sure. No reason to care about Gran Turismo when there are so many better racing games on PC (besides, it's not even a PS5 exclusive, it's on PS4).

[-] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Saying that the PS5 has no games because those games don’t really count and aren’t fun anyways is only a hot take if you’re 8 years old and having an argument with your friends in the playground. The console wars are over, there’s no need to keep fighting.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Stating my opinion on video games is doing console wars?

[-] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, that particular opinion and how you articulated it, it does. But not all opinions everywhere, no. That would be silly.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

GoT combat is really good. I wish there were more duels

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Yeeeees YEEEEES HAHA sicko-yes

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

DMCA can eat my whole ass

[-] someone@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

Reddit seems to be trying to kill this story. It's huge, yet seems absent from the bigger gaming and technology subreddits.

[-] git@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Default subs are occupied by reddit, so that makes sense. It’s on the front of /r/ps5 (8m subscribers) and /r/games (3.4m subscribers) at the moment at least.

Hell yeah can’t wait to download rpcs5

[-] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

People did that with overclocked hacked switches with Yuzu to play some games with improved performance.
