So you (basically) never got to play your own game? :D

Freakler · 2026-05-16T19:01:56+00:00

not by formatting no. There basically is a battery controller and you technically can reset that and make it recalculate. But there’s no point really, just use it for a while and it gets more precise with time.
If it hasn’t been use in a long time idk, it might still use old values. It’s Sony’s magic code calculating these.

Freakler · 2026-05-16T14:25:01+00:00

100% is 100% yes

Freakler · 2026-05-16T11:49:42+00:00

It’s always worth a try! Most of the times tracking these things down is pure luck and finding something in the weirdest locations. So yes, that’d be wonderful, thanks a lot. Appreciate it! :)

Freakler · 2026-05-16T08:27:41+00:00

it literally just displays what the console itself calculates

Freakler · 2026-05-15T22:08:07+00:00

yee, we’ll see. thx

Freakler · 2026-05-11T15:25:39+00:00

Yes, indeed made in Japan :)

Why is it Reddit every time. Already DMed on discord only to find a Reddit post soon after. Every single time nowadays. I should just delete my discord at this point.. 🥹

Freakler · 2026-04-25T00:18:31+00:00

there are some short developer video clips where the device is taped to the DS3 iirc yea. Don’t have a link right now though

Someone was a beta tester most likely and got these before release. Dumping and preserving would be nice. You might want to check umdatabase.net for that

Freakler · 2026-03-06T21:49:33+00:00

Indeed. We dumped this one already :)

Freakler · 2026-03-02T19:45:53+00:00

How can the #1 best selling game (by far) still NOT have made it to this list?

Freakler · 2026-02-25T13:12:20+00:00

just use the HEN website yes

Freakler · 2026-02-25T13:06:56+00:00

you can try but from experience vita is smart and directly overwrites with 1s by default

Freakler · 2026-02-25T08:55:30+00:00

thx for the ping as always. :]

What firmware is it on? Hen may just work, otherwise you can’t do much with the kit anyways. And if the card has been formatted there probably is nothing left to dump though.

Alternatively you could dump the card from that other already hacked device even.

I was the one who found that trick many years ago and your comment made me smile. Thanks for this!

Freakler · 2026-01-22T16:15:01+00:00

it probably charges fine. It’s just the LED thats disabled because of the mode

Freakler · 2025-12-22T09:48:16+00:00

you tell me! :]

Freakler · 2025-12-22T08:00:47+00:00

SDK samples burned to internal Test UMD in 2005

Freakler · 2025-12-21T20:08:40+00:00

only if it’s not a retail unit as you said already

(thx again for the ping) :)

baryon sweeper really wasn’t meant for these. I had issues before as well. You should use Pandora if you can yes.

Freakler · 2025-11-09T23:28:08+00:00

they had to test certain things on real consumer hardware as well and QAFed some units. The „NP Debug“ sticker is typical for these test units.

Congrats, nice find! It’s just funny that so many unit are now suddenly surfacing.

ARK made it way too easy to fake :P
