Support NeoGAF

[zewone]

What? In the video he only transfers a 4GB game.

3.5GB actually.

Damnit. The free space tricked me.

So transferring games won't be as fast.

Nothing is as bad as PS3 backup and restore to an external drive....

Anyone in North America get the beta email code yet? Seems all the impressions are coming from Europe so far.

Not me.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Well, seems like the only function I miss now is PSX/PS2 BC and after that I won't need more.

 

[DieH@rd]

Can anyone test is multiple partitions for external drive is supported? One partition for PS4 and another regular one for PC use.

 

[LiK]

Would be godly if it could play PS3 games too.

If I recall from the last beta, they don't get sent to the US ones picked until the afternoon time so it should start soon.

I know boost mode has been the talk of the town, but anyone so far discover any other hidden gems?

Trophy syncing seems really fast to me, but maybe it's just placebo.

Playstation FW 4.50 [OT] Blood-Starved Boost

 

[Inuhanyou]

I could go for a lot of these..NOthing deal breaking, but yeah, I would find a lot of it useful.

PS1 emulation (PS classics carry over) is the biggie for me. I'm also fine with how they do PS2 games, it's just too slow a release schedule.

i agree. i want them to be releasing games way faster, they have not gotten to any of the meaty releases from Atlus or SE or Capcom or Namco yet

 

[sappyday]

Of course they do external hdd support right when I get a new hard drive

 

[JackBauer24]

Not necessarily. That can be your internal and put all the games you're playing currently on there and then the rest on the external.

You don't wanna know which one I bought.

[tootie923]

Just got my NA code.

 

[Redx508]

got my email. US

 

[dancrane212]

FUCK yeah! External drives work between PS4 consoles. Game changer.

Fantastic! Can games/dlc be copied over from one HDD to another PS4/HDD with a different account? Would be great if you can back up patched content like you can on XB1 with this firmware.

 

[eternalcircle]

Holy shittttt! I got denied access to those forums so I didn't really have my hopes up, but I just got a beta code! I don't usually use this term, but megaton!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Alright, last time requesting! Anyone that doesn't need this in NA, please send it. I'll make great videos for PS4 Pro.

 

[Ridill]

Looks like NA codes are getting sent out (12:00PM PST)

 

[Vol5]

Those new themes!!

 

[thatJohann]

Just got my code! NYC here.

 

[RussellXV]

External HDD support? I can't believe it!

Edit: Just got my code!

 

[Transistor]

NA. Just got my code.

 

[ianpm31]

[darkwing]

3D Blu-rays on PlayStation VR

Bye bye internally upgradable HDD/SSD in PS5? Hopefully not... still, awesome news all around .

 

[Hoo-doo]

Text is easily visible in the bokeh theme, dude.
But, I might have an idea that will work with your request...

Sorry, I meant the first video.

But if you're going to do some clean-ass themes next, i'm down.
I prefer the original icons though.

 

[Meohsix]

EDIT: i'm an idiot. never mind.

 

[Irishonion]

So just about any 3.0 USB hdd drive works?

Looking at a 4tb WD 3.0 drive now.

Anything up to 8TB.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

FUCK YES.

Got into the beta.

 

[Couleurs]

So...uhhh... i redeemed my code and nothing happened...
nothing was added to downloads and it says the code was already used if i try to redeem it again. Any ideas?

You have to go to system update on your PS4, if I remember the 4.0 beta correctly.

 

[Sephzilla]

oh shit i got a beta invite

guess i should buy a Pro

 

[Meohsix]

Yep. I'm dumb.

 

[DangerMouse]

Cinema screen picture quality is improved massively and 3d is brilliant.

Hell yes, been waiting for this. Now we just need 3D file support and 3D VR video, this is great.

Man, this is going to be a great update with this, boost, and ext hdds.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

External Storage is nice.

This update adds the ability to set your favorite in-game screenshot as the background image for PS4’s home screen.

Lol Why do I have to use a screenshot? Why can't I just pick an image from the internet and make it a wallpaper?

Not what I was expecting.

you can. just need to browse to it in the PS4 browser and take a screenshot

 

[neoism]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Custom wallpapers yesssssssssssssssssssss

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Yeah, again, not what I was expecting. I don't want to use screenshots (because of compression and all that).

 

[Primethius]

You can set PS4 screenshots to PNG.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

You can set PS4 screenshots to PNG.

I know I can but why a screenshot? Why can't I just load up an image from an external usb device and put it as a wallpaper?

 

[Primethius]

I'm not excusing the omission of the feature. Simply pointing out a way to get a fairly high quality image as a background until or if the feature is implemented.

It's probably what I'm going to use but this is not really something hard to implement. I don't know why Sony just doesn't include it in this update. It's weird, that's all.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Does the PS4 have an image viewer? If so, just pop in a USB stick with images, take screenshot while viewing them.

Other way would be to upload your images and view them in the browser, take screenshot.

Cumbersome, absolutely. But not impossible.

And remember to share your backgrounds in the GAF community ofcourse.

Trophy syncing seems really fast to me, but maybe it's just placebo.

It still confuses me why manual syncing is even necessary. So annoying when you have multiple systems.

not the most elegant solution but better than nothing
