First port of call, turn off fucking HDCP

Copy savegames to USB!!!

Sort by rarity, meh

Yup, you can type with touchpad

Copying existing recordings works fine.

Can now switch user without having to logout.

Share factor cannot be downloaded (yet)

Not sure if last firmware ver allowed copying save data to usb, but it does now, and switching users is a lot faster/easier too.
With HDCP off trying to load music unlimited results in being told to turn hdcp back on.
Copying to USB storage works fine with external hdd or usb thumbdrive, wouldnt detect a random usb drive i had lay around while it was in ntfs, formatting to fat32 made it work fine, a fresh format to ntfs might work too but im too lazy to try.

I'm downloading it.

According to GAF NTFS doesn't work but ExFAT and FAT32. Could you run some tests? They are saying copy speed is horribly slow.

Getting about 1.5-2mb/sec, not really surprising considering its having to re-encode on the fly.

So they are not using anything from the arm to encode? I thought they had dedicated encoding hardware on the mainboard?

For anyone having trouble finding Sharefactory in Europe: Do a manual search, it's there.



 

The PS5 Exists.

They do, but the formats are different between stored on the encrypted hdd and exported to non encrypted usb.

Features I like:
- Predownloading
- Dim the lightbar
- Share Factory optional download because I don't care about it and it will save me 1GB of traffic and about half an hour.

As soon as I get home I will update it, I want to be ready to predownload MLB The Show, that file will probably be huge, over 30GB, because last year's version on PS3 was almost that size.
