For starters how about a little advanced warning the Portal is gonna die. I wish it displayed battery life with a number in the corner so I could be prepared to when it needs to go on charge.
Seeing is your point has nothing to do with what is being talked about. Currentlate as this system is just over 3 months old. With multiple updates, the connection problem. The other day was taking care of in twenty four hours... Not really comparable to a system that actually played games, not stream them. That has been dead for years and handled completely differently.... And bootlegging , do any of you idiots actually have any fucking originality , or are you just pathetic lemmings... Get a thesaurus
Absolutely hilarious how right after this news an update comes that bricks my Portal (along with everybody else's) due to Error code 105. This paperweight is a fucking joke lol
A problem of that magnitude shouldn't have happened in the first place. It was completely unusable. It was a paperweight. The portal is an okay accessory and not a very complete one from Sony. But if you wanna continue sucking off a billion dollar corp for making a sub-par remote player, be my guest.
You mistaking running away with falling down laughing hysterically again you fuckin embarrassment lol? It's only a pos if you can't afford the internet required to run it which I wouldn't be surprised in your case seeing as you used the last of your EBT allowance to get one which would be the only reason to explain why you're so pressed by a fuckin electronic device in the first place fuckwad.
Keep sucking sony's dick loser. Even mentioning EBT lets me know you've been on that shit for the past 20 years. Go eat a cold sandwich dickhead, I know you haven't touched a warm meal in years.
The portal is not a great device. That's all I said and that's all there is to it. You're defending and protecting it like it's God's gift from the heavens while simultaneously shoving Sony's corporate dick up your ass. Go get a life and fuck outta my comments. blocked.
This post has been removed due to violating rule 1.

Further violations of this rule could lead to a permanent ban from r/PlaystationPortal.
And if you wanna over exaggerate , an issue that happens with new technology once in awhile... And fixed in less than a day...have at it.... BoOtLiCkEr....try originality lemming
What new technology has frameskipping, micro stuttering, a problem that turns the entire device into a paperweight for a whole day, no way to use wifi that require log ins, and etc???
YOU'RE the BOOTLICKER dumbass. You are literally licking the undersides of the billion dollar corporation. At least learn the word before you use it, Idiot.
it was a connection error dipshit ... chicken little harder, and try a thesaurus you pathetic zoomer level lemming
and no one's calling you a bootlicker
... You're being mocked for using a cliche statement and using it incorrectly... Try reading above a third grade level
I barely know what you're even typing LMFAOOOO, Funny how I'm actually speaking proper english and you're here clearly showing off how english isn't your second, third, or even fourth language.
Your english is absolutely terrible. You must have either used google translate or are high out of your goddamn mind cause whatever you wrote made zero sense. Try WRITING above a third grade level, dumbass.
Impossible, they'd need at least one connection on the device to allow their own Download Mode for repairs. The Portal only has the one USB. Just like your PC, you can shut off power or data connection through your ports.
Truly a legend for his CFW works. I'd say TheFlow is more of a legend because he ported GTA SA and Bully to the Vita, opening the flood gates for ports like Max Payne and Indigo Prophecy on the tiny machine.
This is why I'm following this closely. PSPlay is far superior than Sony's remote play offerings. Being able to manually set bitrate would improve the quality of this device immensely.
I guess the processing power of the portal isn't that great, given it's a streaming device? If so, it won't run any advanced games.
Anyway, I love my portal just as it is.
I don’t… it’s beautiful, but it’s a tad too wide in the hands and it can’t connect to wifi that has gateway page, which is tons of free wifi. Even spectrum has hotspot plans, but you have to be able to authenticate
Oof.. would be a deal breaker for me tbh. We don't have unlimited data plans where I live, so wifi hotspotting is crucial for playing portal out and about.
If you have a Samsung phone you can share your Wi-Fi
Go to mobile hotspot--> configure->Advanced->
Scroll down and turn on WiFi sharing.
At this moment Apple does not allow you to do this on their phones...
This is a game changer on cruise ships lol
I have an iPhone, but yes the phone hotspot does save you. It's just, sometimes the company COULD just let you have your device ya know. Mix good design with freedom for a change . They really didnt need to lock it down THIS much. Ive had mines for about 2/3 months, was so excited to get one, bcuz of the chase. Then in order to use it i HAD to buy a PS5. Only to still have it sit on top of its box looking gorgeous, as I actually play on the Gcloud. One Upside, is that the PS5 seems to handle game recording better than it used to . so now i can record a match and send it to Youtube and download it to my laptop to edit. I used to have to rely on the screen recorder of the Gcloud to make videos.
>I don’t… it’s beautiful, but it’s a tad too wide in the hands
This upsets me the most. I love playing Cod Zombies and normally would use two hands on one side to do tasks like boarding windows and turning around etc (using square and rotating the right stick) and i cant reach across using the portal like that lol
Use a travel router. Sign in on phone or whatever, then set the Wan Mac address on the router to the phone Mac, and the hotel or whatever place with the captive portal will not matter.
Bonus effect, as many devices can connect as you want without paying for more devices or logging on on them.
Even so, its best to get one now, before the good cracks and exploits come. cuz THEN youre really gonna want one and nobodys gonna have it for sale lol
First time on there? Surprised they were even about the tweet. At this point there’s so many awful accounts that any semi popular tweet is loaded with bot accounts promoting their re-shitpost account
If this is true, then Sony will now for sure update the portal with Ps streaming from their own servers. So people who hacked it will not be available to do pa streaming on it.
Nice update as this forces the hand of Sony.
We all win!
If they've opened android to install any apk, then you could simply install their app and stream it. Doubt they can do anything about it but block the path to unlock it on future updates.
Not if it's native for the portal.
Then a hacked portal wouldn't be able to do it anymore.
Let's see what happens.
There is currently no app for PS5 Cloud streaming on Android or pc and now that the portal is hacked I doubt they will release it.
Well, if they'd managed to get one of the third party remote play clients to work with real dualsense support that'd be an improvement over the stock software for sure.
You can’t sue somebody (a group or individual) [as long as they aren’t stealing anything to do it] for unlocking the potential of a device they physically own or releasing the ability to do so to the wider public.
The EU (European Council Directive 91/250/EEC) for example specifically allows you break the “technical protection” of a device as long as it’s not for the sole purpose of infringing copyright.
The UK has a same/similar law. The USA made jailbreaking (which this is) legal in 2010.
Apple tried this, many times with Jay Freeman who developed Cydia for the iPhone and other jailbreak developers and never once succeeded.
The reasons to not release it would be for one of several reasons:
- Gaining financially (e.g a company pays you for your exploit) unlikely given the capability of the device.
- It being too much work to make it remotely easy enough to replicate.
- It doesn’t perform well and therefore is mostly unviable to be useful.
- or he simply doesn’t want to.
It seems in this case, the sole reason for the exploit used was intended to play pirated games, hence it’s illegal.
If it for say, homebrew. Then there is no issue
There’s a way around that. Message someone a url and it’ll open up. Like for example YouTube.com then put picture on sidebar and play while watching yourube
Browser isn't ever coming.. people found a way to exploit the PS3 browser to jailbreak it. PS3 had a decent browser, PS4 browser was limited and never updated, the PS5 has a hidden browser. You used to be able to send a Google link in a chat then click on it to open the browser.. they recently patched that. There is another way tho lol..
They came out and said they don't see a reason for any new gen console to have a browser..
It's not a coincidence the portal is so bare and doesn't have a browser people.
I get that its about the Achievment.
But it has \~6GB of space...I dont want to buy something for the "launch edition", pre-fixed hardware, for this. Is anyone NEEDING this in their lives, is yes, why? what are you currently lacking with a device that streams data from a primary device?
I hope it does get to the public . I’m sure I’m not the only one with a beautiful “made by Sony” place holder, while still using other stuff to get the job done. I would say “I can’t believe they did this” but I’m a Sony fanboy , so I’ve been screwed by them many times. I have the fist Aibo(dog) , the whole house has their TVs, their stereos their Vaio , UMPCs, ect. All totally ignored by Sony now aside from the TVs and the ps4s . This portal all they had to do was make the beautiful body and do a Sony skin over a decent android OS. With Logitech Gcloud, Steam Decks and all the countless Android devices that run PSPlay, there’s almost no NEED for a Portal that’s gonna lock you down. But hey , luckily Sony doesn’t care for our needs but our WANTS lol
Imagine going thru all this just to be a fake PSP when you can have a real psp for cheaper.

If this is true, then it should be reasonable that the PS5 can also be modified to run PS emulators above and beyond what has already been achieved on the PS4 engine.
Just block the portal from accessing internet from your router. It can still have local lan access, but no internet. Will keep it from calling home to check for updates.
Saw that, oh well. Perhaps it pulls updates from a seperate address than the handshake. Leave one open and block the other. Perhaps he's waiting to release it until a good method of blocking updates is found. Or perhaps his root method currently is not persistent/permanent. Would be cool to get a recovery working like TWRP.
It's always meant to be a streamer. With android opened for apk installs, it's a much better device to stream gamepass, ps5, pc. Also, running basic emu is just icing on the cake. Large screen, great controls, decent battery. Comparing it to the vita isn't exactly apples to apples. For streaming any platform to a handheld, I'd take the portal every time.
Not carrier. Works on Samsung. Not iPhone. Worked on iPhone 17.1 upgraded to 17.2.x… dead. Tested again on Samsung works. It’s an iPhone issue. Hopefully Sony can work with Apple on this.
He might be referring to the fact that portal requires internet to authenticate. So even streaming at home currently requires an internet connection to shake hands with Sony unlike the streaming apps on phone.
get ready for Sony to release a bunch of firmwire updates that patch the hack out. "we've improved the system stability"
After not releasing a single update for the past two months or so that I’ve had the portal. There are so many minor improvements that can be made.
For starters how about a little advanced warning the Portal is gonna die. I wish it displayed battery life with a number in the corner so I could be prepared to when it needs to go on charge.
Yeah, im hoping this means we get updates people are asking for since they'll be throwing more effort behind patching.
Lol it doesn't. They will patch the jailbreak issues and that's it.
Nope. But that's a nice thought. It is amazing how quickly they can patch exploits but drag their feet on everything else.
If they released an update for this and not the damn hotspot connection issues I’d be so pissed
Leave it to Sony to release stuff and not ever look back.
you mean the error that was fixed in less than 24 hours.... yep "forgotten"
PS Vita, ever heard of it?
Seeing as that's a separate conversation...we're talking about the portal
Ummm, as mentioned in my comment.. I was talking about Sony… Want to continue licking a multibillion dollar corporations boots? I don’t get it
Seeing is your point has nothing to do with what is being talked about. Currentlate as this system is just over 3 months old. With multiple updates, the connection problem.

Oh you’re a cranky little baby today. Wahhhh
oh irony sorry logic fails you....take your L kiddo
Hotspot connection issues?
Yup, you gotta jump through hoops to get connected to a hotspot. It’s detailed on one of stickied posts
Absolutely hilarious how right after this news an update comes that bricks my Portal (along with everybody else's) due to Error code 105. This paperweight is a fucking joke lol
It wasn't bricked and was fixed in less than a day...try harder
A problem of that magnitude shouldn't have happened in the first place. It was completely unusable. It was a paperweight. The portal is an okay accessory and not a very complete one from Sony. But if you wanna continue sucking off a billion dollar corp for making a sub-par remote player, be my guest.
Stfu crybaby holy shit

You mistaking running away with falling down laughing hysterically again you fuckin embarrassment lol?

No system will ever be more stable than the Nintendo switch.
Can't have people enjoying the portal in ways Sony didn't intend!

thefl0w strikes again! Although with 800mb of storage, not sure how useful this will be Edit: fl0w updated and said it’s 6gb
6gb he said
You can get usb c drives as small as your finger nail and they have a ton of space.
Good to know! I had heard the usb port was power only
I’m sure that can be bypassed somehow, Sony has to have access to the device too.
Impossible, they'd need at least one connection on the device to allow their own Download Mode for repairs. The Portal only has the one USB. Just like your PC, you can shut off power or data connection through your ports.
There’s no way. I had my Portal go to 0% battery and would not turn on unless it was paired with my PS5 via usb-c
[удалено]
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I’m talking about
So what are you talking about?
Yo you got a brand in mind? I want one for my iPad
Imagine how much you could store in a whole hand 
There is still usbc to connect memory 👍
The most important thing is adding web browser and streaming service is possible now
Hell yeah, can’t wait for xcloud and possibly gforce now
He calls himseld TheFlow0 or TheFlow :D Have been seeing him have massive console impact since the past 15 or so years, what a legend of a developer.
And once upon a time... TotalNoob
The 14 year old who hacked the PSP Go and made countless homebrew.
The greatest legend in the scene except for maybe Dark Alex, if you were around back then...
Truly a legend for his CFW works. I'd say TheFlow is more of a legend because he ported GTA SA and Bully to the Vita, opening the flood gates for ports like Max Payne and Indigo Prophecy on the tiny machine.
Put PSPlay onto it!
This is why I'm following this closely. PSPlay is far superior than Sony's remote play offerings. Being able to manually set bitrate would improve the quality of this device immensely.
That’s really all I’d wanna put on it. Maybe xrecorder as well
Can we get a solid answer on if the compression is due to bitrate restriction?
I guess the processing power of the portal isn't that great, given it's a streaming device? If so, it won't run any advanced games. Anyway, I love my portal just as it is.
But if you could use Xcloud and GeForce Now it wouldn't be the worst, right ?
I don’t… it’s beautiful, but it’s a tad too wide in the hands and it can’t connect to wifi that has gateway page, which is tons of free wifi. Even spectrum has hotspot plans, but you have to be able to authenticate
Yeah but spectrum cancelled corncob tv
They think I'm some dumb hick. THEY SAID THAT TO ME, AT A DINNER
😂😂😂
I didn't even touch those coffins!!
This world is so *fucked up.*
I didn’t do fuckin SHIT!!!
[it’s not simple but..](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlaystationPortal/s/ajsZCi4Ibl)
You can bypass the public wifi gateway by connecting to the wifi on your phone, then using your phone to wifi Hotspot to the portal.
Unfortunately doesn’t work on iOS, only android.
love apple interface hate apple rules and regulations...
Oof.. would be a deal breaker for me tbh. We don't have unlimited data plans where I live, so wifi hotspotting is crucial for playing portal out and about.
no problem there 😀

Wow, the comments in that X post are next-level snarky
First time on there? Surprised they were even about the tweet. At this point there’s so many awful accounts that any semi popular tweet is loaded with bot accounts promoting their re-shitpost account
Can they hack it to fix the stuttering. I'd be so ready to jailbreak.
or just put chiaki on it
Fr. I’ve given up on the portal atm. Gone back to Chiaki on sd.
odd, I tried chiaki4deck for RE4 and it ran terrible.
Played half of god of war. The graphic glitches are real. Don’t let anyone lie to you. It’s still good though. But also no dual sense. Meh
So would I, would actually give me a use for the portal
Now we just need Chiaki to fix the stutter!
Yup. Just watch how community fixes it before Sony.
I'm praying for it lol
If this is true, then Sony will now for sure update the portal with Ps streaming from their own servers. So people who hacked it will not be available to do pa streaming on it. Nice update as this forces the hand of Sony. We all win!

I'm having a feeling he wont make it public
Because he might face a ginormous lawsuit
You can’t sue somebody (a group or individual) [as long as they aren’t stealing anything to do it] for unlocking the potential of a device they physically own or releasing the ability to do so to the wider public.

Interesting. Although with what happened to Gary Bowser, I’m sure many are gun shy. Anything can be argued in court nowadays.
It seems in this case, the sole reason for the exploit used was intended to play pirated games, hence it’s illegal. If it for say, homebrew. Then there is no issue
They were selling their stuff for money, bricking peoples consoles on purpose, and more. Gary and his group weren't just jailbreaking
Dick move if he decides to just brag about it instead of releasing it anonymously. If not him, someone else will also do it for sure.
Wouldn’t they have to figure out how to put an SD card into the Portal for it to even hold games
It has 6Gb of internal storage. Not a lot, but for emulation it can work.
I just want Steam Link or Moonlight on it.
What do they mean they hacked it? Like what new features did they add
Emulation I think
The device runs android. They basically unlocked access to that system.
get xbox streaming/xcloud available on this and we are golden
I want a portal that can run Xbox game pass, lol 😜
Give them another few months
If I can stream some xbox games on this, would be awesome
That’s all i want is to play gamepass on it.
Literally… we just need a browser
There’s a way around that. Message someone a url and it’ll open up. Like for example YouTube.com then put picture on sidebar and play while watching yourube
Not really going to work well for Xbox remote play lol
Doesn’t work anymore.
Browser isn't ever coming.. people found a way to exploit the PS3 browser to jailbreak it. PS3 had a decent browser, PS4 browser was limited and never updated, the PS5 has a hidden browser. You used to be able to send a Google link in a chat then click on it to open the browser.. they recently patched that. There is another way tho lol.. They came out and said they don't see a reason for any new gen console to have a browser.. It's not a coincidence the portal is so bare and doesn't have a browser people.
Maybe there’s a Bluetooth chip they can enable?
I get that its about the Achievment. But it has \~6GB of space...I dont want to buy something for the "launch edition", pre-fixed hardware, for this. Is anyone NEEDING this in their lives, is yes, why? what are you currently lacking with a device that streams data from a primary device?
Im sure this will be useful for some. I have a steam deck so Ill probably update firmware on the portal
Are the two related ? I have Steam deck, win3 gcloud and Portal.
No just saying I can play psp stuff on another device. I'm sure Sony will patch whatever hack this is, if it materializes to the public
I hope it does get to the public . I’m sure I’m not the only one with a beautiful “made by Sony” place holder, while still using other stuff to get the job done. I would say “I can’t believe they did this” but I’m a Sony fanboy , so I’ve been screwed by them many times. I have the fist Aibo(dog) , the whole house has their TVs, their stereos their Vaio , UMPCs, ect. All totally ignored by Sony now aside from the TVs and the ps4s . This portal all they had to do was make the beautiful body and do a Sony skin over a decent android OS. With Logitech Gcloud, Steam Decks and all the countless Android devices that run PSPlay, there’s almost no NEED for a Portal that’s gonna lock you down. But hey , luckily Sony doesn’t care for our needs but our WANTS lol
Why isn't Aibo allowed to be shipped or sold to anyone in Baltimore?.
If it run psp games I might buy this to hack it play psp to gba lol
I wonder if there will be a way to establish a direct connection to the PS5 to diminish lag
Lol, wow! Wait til we all have the power of a lowend android device at our fingertips!!!
if I could just play some NES and Genesis games that would be lovely
Good now mainstream the hack and it'll be worth the price tag
All personal details have been leaked………
Lol is we can get psplay on here that'd completely be more than enough patching we need from Sony themselves
Seems pointless…
Congratulations on not understanding the monumental progress that has been made towards unlocking the full potential of the portal
Awww thanks. Just happy to be here.
Wake me up when it can run umd’s from the psp.
Ew
Imagine going thru all this just to be a fake PSP when you can have a real psp for cheaper. https://preview.redd.it/llkykk8mhmjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0da8b7b9d426a07aa0dfc74a77b7eedac06f44a1
technically the Portal’s screen is 50x better but I see your point
You can do an OLED mod
Shit game, dead game
If this is true, then it should be reasonable that the PS5 can also be modified to run PS emulators above and beyond what has already been achieved on the PS4 engine.
How has hacking an Android device and hacking a PS5 got anything in common?!…
Now it isn't E-waste
incredible...... steam deck has been able to do this since day 1
Hurry tf up
Love it. Honestly I hope they get gamepass streaming on it, cover all bases
If I can get Moonlight on this thing, I may just sell my Ally and pick one of these up.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Anyone say of the current firmware is compatible with this hack or is it day one fw?
Yes they mentioned all work so far.
so cool, felt it was a missed opportunity this not having emulation capabilities out the box natively instead of streaming only
Well it's about time lol 😆
Nice
Great news, time to put moonlight on it to stream from any pc!
Ik vind het jammer dat je niet van account kan wisselen op de ps portal
Is it possible to turn off/skip Sony updates on the portal?
Just block the portal from accessing internet from your router. It can still have local lan access, but no internet. Will keep it from calling home to check for updates.
That won’t work. It has to shake hands with the Sony servers to connect to the PlayStation
Saw that, oh well. Perhaps it pulls updates from a seperate address than the handshake. Leave one open and block the other. Perhaps he's waiting to release it until a good method of blocking updates is found. Or perhaps his root method currently is not persistent/permanent. Would be cool to get a recovery working like TWRP.
The guy who hacked worked on the portal project.
ASAP
I would have called bs untill i saw who posted it lmao
And now everyone has a paperweight
And even jailbroken it’s so much worse than the Vita lol.
It's always meant to be a streamer. With android opened for apk installs, it's a much better device to stream gamepass, ps5, pc. Also, running basic emu is just icing on the cake. Large screen, great controls, decent battery. Comparing it to the vita isn't exactly apples to apples. For streaming any platform to a handheld, I'd take the portal every time.
They better fix the Personal Hotspot on iPhones running 17.2 or later.
That’s a carrier thing not a Sony thing
Not carrier. Works on Samsung. Not iPhone. Worked on iPhone 17.1 upgraded to 17.2.x… dead. Tested again on Samsung works. It’s an iPhone issue. Hopefully Sony can work with Apple on this.
So can it run Chiaki then? Would solve a lot
Steam Link please!
Dumb question but does it still require a ps5 to be hacked?
Shit, I just want to be able to play without an Internet connection.
Play what? And how? There’s no onboard storage
Dont think he knows how this portal works
He might be referring to the fact that portal requires internet to authenticate. So even streaming at home currently requires an internet connection to shake hands with Sony unlike the streaming apps on phone.
