Well, Someone Installed Linux On Their PS4 Once, So Making PS2 Games Compatible With A PS4 Can't Be THAT Hard... Right?

You have to "jailbreak" it, it is not normally possible. And of course such "jailbreaking" would void a warranty and potentially cause all sorts of problems.

And at the end of the day.....

If you're going to stick a PC OS on a Console, my question to you is "WHY!?"

You've got a $400 piece of equipment that has computer parts that would cost you less than $200 to assemble today because they were obsolete when the PS4 was new, and you're going to put the very same OS that you could put on a much superior machine? Why, exactly?

If I were going to run a PS2 emulator in Linux, I would do it on something a heck of a lot stronger than a PS4.

lol by the time 1.3.5 hits "new" gen consoles, the PS5 and XBwhatever will be out and they'll have to stop and then try to re-do all the code for those consoles.

This is why getting into consoles is a bad, bad thing. With PCs, you develop it once. I think in the last 20 years, we've gone through... what, maybe 2-3 major roadblocks? 16Bit->32Bit with Windows95 (and of course DOS->Windows95), Windows98->XP caused a few compatibility problems that were usually workable in some way, the Widescreen debacle where suddenly Widescreen became the new standard and most old games didn't support it properly, and then the 32Bit->64Bit jump. And, I suppose, some games didn't play nice with multi-core processors (but the fix was usually easy and done at the end user's machine, rather than the game's code needing patched).

But at the end of the day, Windows is still Windows. It will *probably* work, might need compatibility mode, or DOSBox with old windows install or something.

That's nothing like a new console coming out every 2-3 years that you have to re-develop the game for. I think any game that was made within the last 5 years will probably run on most modern computers with very little if any work needing done. Fact is, a lot of 10-15 year old games will work too with just a little tweaking.

But try popping that Playstation2 CD into your Playstation 4.... lol. Good luck with that.

Just throwing it out there, but xbox one has backwards compatability.

But does this mean I can block swap my problems away?

Only if you've a pickaxe good enough.

that makes me curious, though, of whether or not blockswapping can be used to tunnel through sand/slush/silt without triggering falling.... like blockswap 4 block-high row and then mine 3 of the solid blocks out without having the whole thing caving in.

Blah I wish I knew how I got unsubbed from the thread..... *reads*

On top of this thread, right below the page numbers. There's an option called 'Unwatch Thread". That will unsubscibe you untill you make a new post of said thread. You can go to the settings if you want to disable thread watching on posts. But that means you need to subscribe to them manually.

There's also an option to mass unwatch threads if that's desired.

The point I was making is that I was subscribed to the thread, and... at some point, I stopped receiving alerts about new posts. I did not click either of these buttons.

Probably some stupid xenforo bug, because this happens even worse over at Chucklefish too, where the forum system stops giving me alerts about threads I was wanting to watch.
 
Oh, that, sorry I misunderstood it.

The only reason I could see is that you havn't readen the last page of the thread yet, so if someone recently made a post that appears on a new page, then the thread will be seen as unread.

You will only get one alert about new posts. If you don't follow up on an alert and read the post and all new posts that follow it, then you won't get another alert for that thread until you catch up on all unread posts. If new posts continue on to a new page, then you might miss that and stop getting alerts. It happens to me, too.

You should always get an alert for a quote and for a tag, if you have those options on.

The alert system works as intended. The alternative would be to blindly send an alert to every watcher for every post, which could result in hundreds of alerts per day for watchers of busy threads, and perhaps a significant performance hit on the server to service all those alerts.
 
Yessss
[doublepost=1525899457,1525899423][/doublepost]This is perfect
[doublepost=1525899510][/doublepost]Also so no 360 updates?
Because that's what I'm hearing.

Hello PhantomFox,

As a tip, you can use the "edit" button to the bottom left of your post to edit content into your existing posts if other members haven't replied yet. If your post is the last post on a Thread, it is best to use the edit button to add more content into your current post rather than posting again.

And to answer your question, you are correct, the Xbox 360 version will no longer receive any future updates. Most previous generation Consoles will not receive the 1.3 update or further update.

If you have more questions about the Console versions specifically, you can also PM myself or any Staff member, or create a Thread in the Console Section of the Forums to discuss it.
 
no entiendo como Juegos #PubgMobile #Fortnite y # ARK-Survival se están desarrollando casi instantáneamente para dispositivos móviles (Android / IOS) y Terraria 1.3+ no está finalizado para estas plataformas después de haber finalizado la 1.3+ de consola PS4 / XBOX ONE y añadir que han detenido el desarrollo de OtherWorld, (SI OFENDER EL ESFUERZO DE LOS DESARROLLADORES) ¿Tan difícil es, hacer un juego de Móviles?

So I started a multiplayer game with a friend, and in one 45-60 minute session, I counted no less than 5 times where I thought "I wish I had block swap...."

lol.

During my recent console playthrough, I found it was the one feature I missed the most (well except I prefer m&k for controls). It really is one of those that you quickly forget what life was like without it.
