So which most-demanded feature is there left for Sony to add to the PS4 besides the ability to change your PSN ID? Is there anything?
PS1 backwards compatibility?
The ability for force rendering as if a 4K display was connected and downsample for 1080p output is certainly mentioned here often.
Pro downsampling and PS1/2 compatibility.

Yup this is it. I don't care about anything else right now.
Indeed. I don't even want another FW update unless it enhances graphics in some way. DO it Sony.

I forgot about downsampling. Yeah, that would be swell. Is it something that the PS4 Pro could do at the OS level, without input from the game itself?
I guess backwards compatibility would be good for posterity's sake. Personally, I wouldn't use it. But it would be great for those that would, yeah.

I don't even want another FW update unless it actually gives some actual features. Baby steps.

I've mentioned it before but it really annoys me that the Custom Friends Lists can't be put in the Quick Menu, unlike the old Favourite Groups which it's replaced.

Does this update break Remote Play? It tends to be the case, but this update doesn't seem to make changes to the feature in any way so I hope it won't. I need RP this weekend so I'll try the beta next week if I can't use it.

Let's hope they fixed the HDD space bug. Although there's like 100GB available on my HDD (system storage), I can't edit a small video (9 secs) unless I free up ~20GB... Can't even download larger updates.

For a beta firmware codename Nobunaga...aka one of the most (in)famous warlord in japanese history, this firmware sure seems 'small'.

RP worked for me at least on Beta 4. You can also always revert back to the stable firmware...

nope. RP still works on Vita and PC.

Nope, still works. I'm at work, updated through my Vita and can still connect and play Destiny2

For me, all I need is the ability to hide demos/betas/trials from my purchase list or at least have a filter option for that.
Perhaps they're now working on fixing the Destiny 2 crashing issue on Pro consoles?
I've no idea.

This makes me think that there should be some big behind the scene stuff, like less memory blocked for OS/more memory for devs, new dev options for Pro/VR, something like that.

No. It's been happening on all Pro models on multiple games. It's most likely a hardware issue, nothing to do with firmware.

How do you know this?

Did they pull it? I'm not seeing it.
I just updated this moment.
It told me automatically.

It does notify you, but it doesn't automatically install it for you.
I'm at work so I can't access the forums, but did they say what changed?

I would also say Pro downsampling, PS1/2 compatibility, PSN ID change and trophy tracking like on the X1 would be the main things I would like to see.
Oh also, real custom themes like on the PS3 and not just custom background pics.
Also in case people havent noticed (I dont know if it started with this beta or not) but alot of save files are now smaller (3.15MB vs 10.49MB or at least smaller than their original 10.49MB size) some games that I've noticed this on is Infamous Sec. Son, Warframe, Shadow of Mordor and more.

That should help cloud save space greatly
cozomel
Member
Yeah, plus i also forgot to mention that my PS3 cloud saves added up to almost 1 gig before, around 900-something and now they only add up to 500 something. So Sony has done something, definitely some kind of compression going on.

That's where I checked for it, nothing available (other than downgrade option). That was last night when I posted anyway, I'll check again later this morning.

Has anyone TRIED a PlayStation black disc in FW 5.00?
This is the first beta I wasn't invited to, so I can't try for myself

Why? Is it rumored that they'll work?
Zippedpinhead

Science, I always try it. Because I don't trust Sony to put something awesome like that in beta notes...

Lame beta. I uninstalled and went back to regular firmware. No notable features that improved my experience, but ymmv.

For me, it would say "copying" and would stay at 0% or move at a total snail's pace. It's why I rolled back to the current firmware. Word of warning though, if you have games installed to an external hard drive with custom folders, rolling back causes those folders to disappear and the games to be out on the main menu unorganized (games downloaded to system storage remain in their original folders).

Have you tried starting the game that the DLC is for? I had DLC for Star Wars Battlefront not install until I started the game.
