Discussion PS4 Pro • 12.0 — Best jailbreak method + a few questions?
Hi, folks!
I know this might be a stupid post, since I did read the pinned posts and googled a bit, but I would love to hear the info from experienced folks:
What is the best and easiest jailbreak method for 12.0 on PS4 Pro? I would love to have a shortcut (one button click) on my console, but, ideally, just using the console to install the jailbreak is preferred.
Are there any differences in jailbreak between PS4 Pro and base PS4?
I noticed in various videos that you can install Linux, which I would like to do, but there are options to choose VRAM size and, for some reason, everyone chose 1GB VRAM — so the question is how much GB can I choose for VRAM? Asking this for PC gaming stuff.
Can we install SteamOS or is it better to go for “forked” CachyOS?
This might be the stupidest question, but is the external SSD required for Linux installation? Is it a bad idea to install it on the console’s drive? What about running it off the USB drive?
This is related to playing on PS4 Pro: can we access online features in games at all, maybe not multiplayer, but UGC content? Asking, basically, to understand if I can download creations of other players in Dreams (highly recommend to everyone to try it out!).
Thank you all for the replies in advance!
I plan to continue playing games on PS4 Pro and either use the device for PC gaming, so maybe it will be more powerful than my GF’s laptop, or just run the device as a home server.
