My 6.72 recently got the dreaded cbomb YAY!!
I know there is temporary workarounds like todex & 2.1.3b... GoldHen also includes a fix.
After testing many versions Goldhen fix doesn't work on 6.72 which is a shame and odd.

My questions
1. Mostly use Phive but some newer games need Goldhen. If i use GH 2.3b2 then add just 2.1.3b for cmos fix (it works) could this cause issues like performance, KP, corrupt saves etc?
2. 9.0 ofw fixes cbomb does this also fix keeping correct time after replacing dead cmos battery? and fix trophy information?
My hesitation upgrading to 9.0 is having only 5 kp on 2.1.3b and 0 on GH 2.3b2 from 120+ attempts, needing to use USB and Kiiwii hinting there is something coming to fw lower than 7.50.

Guess there's good reason reactPSPLUS never got a PROPER update above 5.05 or something like a unofficial server or alike (homebrew store) lol to sync the clock. Wonder what was added to 9.0 to fix cbomb could be used in some way with duct tape on lower fw's

It won't fix the clock. You have to sign in and sync to do so. I'd just use goldhen. Devs say you should only stay on lower if on 5.05, so I'd update to 9.00.

The rumour was/is something is coming for <8.00 however at the eye 9.00 is going it may well come for 9.00 too. It’s the waiting game. I’m sticking to 5.05/6.72 rn.

So thats what happened to my CUH-1004A fw 9.00 when i replaced the battery while i was at it replacing the thermalpaste.
When i set the date/time manually it resets after every reboot. I was starting to think i broke something but to fix it i need to let it connect to PSN and thats not gonna happen anytime soon.

9.00 is very stable with the latest hosts like karo (avoid kernel panic with error messages), but there are problems with timestamps (blank), the only solution is with goldhen (temporarily), in 5.05 it worked fine but kernel panics (they can't be avoided) and timestamps work fine,

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be

    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
