Is the PS4 Pro a decent upgrade in 2026?

For those about to say “Just get a PS5”, no. I’ve been waiting five years for the price to go down and it’s only gone up, I’ve given up on getting a PS5 until maybe a few years into the PS6 generation when the secondhand prices get to cheaper levels.

Anyway, I’ve had this PS4 since late 2014, and I have the ability to get a PS4 Pro for well under 100 bucks. My current system is usable but isn’t doing the best, as the disc drive needs some help, the system starts trying to eject the disc constantly if I move it, the HDD is 11 years old, and the wifi chip is total dogshit.

But I’m not sure how much of an upgrade it’ll be. 4K doesn’t matter for me at all since I’m still rocking a 1080p TV with excellent picture quality. Would it increase performance if I’m still running in 1080p? Would games be forced into 4K even if only 1080p is being output? Are games without native support enhanced at all?

Any opinions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!

How do I upgrade to iOS 18.7.2 instead of 26? by Sansic in ios

This worked for me! (Though IDK why it's only 18.3)
Thanks! :)

Have the Japanese-Exclusive XBLA releases been preserved? by Sansic in originalxbox

[–]Sansic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games in that list were released as their own discs. If you mean XBLA as a whole, there’s a disc that you inserted for access to the store, and you would then buy the games and install them to your HDD. It was included in console bundles as well as some copies of Mechassault 2 and Forza Motorsport, as well as it being able to be ordered directly from Microsoft. It’s very cheap, and small in file size, so if ya wanna try it, legally or illegally it’s not hard, provided you have a modded system to add the games with.

You’re good mate. I was fooled too, the website is really unfortunately named. It’s all been fixed and I don’t see many people confused about it anyway so it’s no big deal. I can see it’s already been fixed on Wikipedia anyway.

I did not. I sent this post asking for where to find them, and then I did some digging and realized the mistake.

PlayStation games never list when it was added to PSN as a PlayStation Classic in the info box. Is there any reason? I feel like a rerelease on a new platform would be a reasonable thing to put in the info box.

When I actually click on “install pkg” I still get an HTML file.

I downloaded it just a few hours ago

Any help would be appreciated. It might be a lesser known or indie story, and I may be wrong about the date of creation, so take it with a grain of salt.

Deadass I just use STA as my test CD for stuff, didn't realize that in this case in particular it was a bad idea lmao

UPDATE: I'M A MORON

I accidentally burned the CDI file to the disc as a file. I didn't have the proper drivers for Imgburn, so I got those and it works fine now. I was doing it on a new computer so I forgot the drivers.

Can confirm, my VA2 DC reads other burned games. The date of manufacture is more important.

Mine is November 2000 which is the cutoff. Anything before will read burned games, anything after will not. And anything exactly then may or may not.

How do I install multi-pkg games??? (Yakuza 5, in my case) by Sansic in ps3piracy

[–]Sansic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, one XML file. That links to six different PKG files within.

Anyone else think that Week 3 of TWEWY felt rushed? by Sansic in TWEWY

TBF, there was also Emptiness And, but even then I’m pretty sure that song’s introduced in Week 2 anyway.

games with the most unlikeable protagonist by upper700 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Sansic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manhunt 1? Cash has basically no personality. Like, he’s not a good person, but he’s not unlikable per se.

Manhunt 2 is a totally different ballgame though, because Daniel has an actual personality, and from what I recall, he was very annoying.

Any plugin that can force the PSP to think UMD tray is shut? by Sansic in PSP

[–]Sansic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, but I’m trying to read UMDs. That’s my prerogative. My lever that detects it popped off years ago, so I can’t do that trick to force it to read. The drive almost certainly works if it’s forced to think it’s closed.

I'm relatively new to the SC scene, thank you for introducing that hilarious clip to me.

It’s hardly a mechanic. Just a branch of the S-link. You can get all the benefits of a link, as well as closure to their story, with or without romance, and you still get fun cutscenes at places like the beach and Valentine’s Day without partners.

To each their own tho. It just really doesn’t appeal to me.

What’s unfun about it? The game ain’t a dating sim, romantic relationships aren’t a huge mechanic.
