You're probably recovering the thumbnails for your pictures, rather than it being something photorec is doing. The capture gallery stores both the original full size image along with a thumbnail (my 1920x1080 screenshots have a 440x248 thumbnail). I don't think there is much you can do to limit...

I recently found that someone had created door skip cheats for the Resident Evil games:- https://gamehacking.org/game/89745?hacker=nolberto82 I had a go at implementing it for the Claire disc in RE2 Dual Shock edition. What's interesting here is that because you can hook into the code, you can...

Here's something to keep an eye on in the future (once relevant emulator versions have been dumped). Updates for Armored Core Master of Arena and Armored Core Project Phantasma released last week included new menu options in the emulators menu: I did some digging and it turns out this is a...

Does anyone know if there is a LUA command that is the equivalent of pressing the analog button on the controller, that works mid-game? There is a CLI command in some of the new emulators - --pad-analog-button=1 - but applying that while the game is running doesn't seem to work. Edit:- I...

Ah, fair enough. The reason I ask is I had a low 6.x firmware PS4 which I hastly upgraded to 9.00 before realising these keys could only be obtained from 6.72. I understand there is a hardware mod I could attempt which would allow me to flip which firmware OS slot the system is booting from so...

@Berion I was reading your work on this again recently, and regarding the samu_hdd_key.bin. Do you have details of how you would actually get this from a 6.72 firmware PS4?

Hi @mexxpower - this was an interesting read. I don't know if you're still interested in this all these years later, but did you ever look at the earlier versions of PSP HD (eg. Castlevania Requiem, Locoroco Remastered, PaRappa The Rapper Remastered). I've been playing around with Castlevania...

Any chance you can share the files for that version of the emulator? From what I can find, none of the latest emulator releases from this year are included in the likes of: https://github.com/florinsdistortedvision/ps2-classics-emus

When you say siren v2, do you mean the version of the emulator released in October 2024?

It's in your save data, you can delete it via the consoles Save Data Management menu.

Thanks for the reply @aldostools I just by chance tried reinstalling the game using the install bubble PS1 games leave on the XMB, I was expecting this to replace my PARAM.SFO with the original one in the install package - but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's now cached my modified file...

I have an official PS1 classic game installed on my PS3, and I want to change one of the properties in the PARAM.SFO file for it. I've edited the installed games file to the value I want:- in /dev_hdd0/game/NPEE00008/PARAM.SFO I understand I now need to get the the PS3 to refresh its cached...

It ended up taking some 30+ hours for fsck to finish. Unfortunately I didn't realise until it had been running for quite a while that by it outputting to the console it was slowing the process down considerably, and once I redirected output to a file it was accessing the file system at a much...

It's been almost 6 months since I restored my PS3 drive using Linux and FreeBSD. Everything has - seemingly - been working fine on the PS3 side. However I wanted to edit a file on the internal drive today, so I went to mount it under FreeBSD for the first time since doing the recovery...

Will the Play TV app launch if you don't have the USB tuner connected? If it does launch, does it still crash in the same way?
