So here's a breakdown for those unaware regarding the PS1-PSP-PS2 titles:

All games are in their "native" versions with no meaningful game enhancements/rebuilding, so expect weird controls, lack of analog stick support and stuff like that.

Each PS1 game has two empty memory cards that are unique for that game, one in each memory card slot. You can't manage their contents directly but can do whatever the in-game system allows you to do.

PS1 and PSP games have separate PS4 and PS5 versions, which have separate saves and trophies (which can't be transferred between versions) but are otherwise indistinguishable from each-other. None of these games can be streamed from the cloud, they are download only.

I believe Worms World Party and Worms Armageddon are their PAL versions but this isn't really noticeable. Note that the game's do support 16x9 screens in their options so go and change this and then activate "Wide Zoom" in the emulator's settings.

I believe all other PS1 games are their US NTSC versions.

Here's a full list of the classic PS1 games:

Ape Escape (US NTSC)
Hot Shots Golf (US NTSC)
I.Q. Intelligence Qube (US NTSC)
Jumping Flash! (US NTSC)
Mr. Driller (US NTSC) (subscription only)
Resident Evil Director's Cut (US NTSC) (subscription only)
Syphon Filter (US NTSC)
Tekken 2 (US NTSC) (subscription only)
Wild Arms (US NTSC)
Worms Armageddon (PAL version?, supports 16x9)
Worms World Party (PAL version?, supports 16x9)

"subscription only" games are only playable if you have the PS+ Premium (highest tier) subscription, you can't buy them a-la-carte or free upgrade with owning them on PS3/PSP/Vita, but you can do this with the other titles (I can mostly confirm for free upgrades, and all other titles have a "just buy them" price).

At the moment the only PSP game is echochrome.

For PS2 they are all technically PS4 games. All are purchaseable a-la-carte, but don't free upgrade from the PS3 digital versions. A few games are buggy on a PS5 with glitchy graphics, but you can bypass this by streaming these games from the cloud instead. Here's the full list:

Ape Escape 2 (buggy on PS5)
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
FantaVision
Hot Shots Tennis
Jak 3 (Download only)
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (Download only)
Jak II (Download only)
Jak X: Combat Racing (Download only)
Kinetica
Okage Shadow King (buggy on PS5)
Primal (buggy on PS5)
Red Faction
Red Faction II
Rise of the Kasai (Download only)
Rogue Galaxy
Siren
Star Wars Bounty Hunter
Star Wars Jedi Starfighter
Star Wars Racer: Revenge
The Mark of Kri (Download only)
War of the Monsters (Download only)
Wild Arms 3

"Download only" games don't have an option to stream from the PS Cloud, but the other titles do.

Did some more investigating. There is probably still work that will be done, because the PC app still lists a ton of games that are mis-tagged as "PS3" titles and aren't actually streamable currently. Whether that's enabling streaming or removing the titles from being visible in the PC app is still to be determined.

Here's the most complete list I could put together with everything that's available, including which games aren't streamable, although this might not be comprehensive so it's entirely possible I missed some games that aren't streamable.

PS+ Premium news

Continuing the tradition of "doing unpaid work for Sony", here are some updates regarding PS+ Premium I was able to dig up.

Shadow Warrior 3 it seems is pretty certainly leaving the service today (in about an hour in North America).
Also leaving this month is the PS3 game Syberia, leaving July 19th.

The PC app for streaming appears to have been fixed, and now no longer shows games which aren't actually available for streaming. The retro header still says "PS1, PSP and PS2 games" despite only having PS2 games but whatever.

I have two lists of titles for North America:

Here's the list of all games on the service and I tagged the ones that aren't streamable (I think it's complete but I may have missed some) https://pastebin.com/bhVAPRjw

Here's the streaming-only game list https://pastebin.com/mADbm7pL

And also, note that for the first 1-50 times your put in your serial number and hit "Next" it will say "Oops, and error occurred". Just keep deleting and pasting your serial number back in and hitting "Next" again. Do not reload the page! Eventually it will work and show you the address form.

We're going to make this work. You can play wireless with ds4windows. It's typically used for tricking Windows into thinking a dualshock/sense is an Xbox controller, but it can also emulate a DS4 for times where that's convenient. The nice thing is that it still works over bluetooth. You can play PS5 games, and the touchpad works, but there's no rumble at all and none of the unique dualsense features work. Tested by playing Returnal for a bit.

Install the latest release at https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases

Connect your dualsense to windows and then get ds4windows to recognize it. Guides can be found on google

Create a controller profile that has emulated controller (under the other tab) set to DS4 and then apply that profile to your controller. You might also need to check touchpad output to make sure it's pass thru instead of controlling the mouse.

Fire up remote play. It should recognize your emulated DS4 and just work.

Pee ahead of time, it's gonna be tempting to let er rip instead of getting out

I've found that the most reliable way to use a PS5 (and PS4) controller with Windows was to use one of these https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Raspb...337897247&psc=1

Using the Dualsense with Steam wired works fine like every time, but I've always had terrible luck getting it to work with like Xbox Gamepass games, or some Epic Games Store games, but using that bluetooth dongle has worked literally every time I've tried it. And for all I know it doesn't even have to be that specific Bluetooth dongle, I just initially bought that one so I could use my dualshock with my switch and then found that it was particularly useful for getting playstation controllers to work with finnicky PC games.

edit: oh and I can confirm it works with Remote Play on PC, I somehow skipped over that when reading your post.

Warning to anyone looking at that cable, that's just an HDMI 2.0 cable NOT HDMI 2.1

If you want 4k/120hz (like if you just bought a new LG CX TV or something), you'll need an HDMI 2.1 cable like the following:
https://www.amazon.com/48Gbps-Compatible-Netflix-Playstation-Samsung/dp/B07S1CGQ9Z/

Those are rated for 48 Gbps and are HDMI 2.1 certified.

The monoprice equivalent would be this:
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31229

The cable with the PS5 of course works as well, these are just if you want another for whatever reason.

univbee posted:

Quality of HDMI cables is starting to matter now with 4K HDR and especially with 120 Hz and VRR.

Any HDMI cable can do 1080p60 SDR unless it's totally hosed. (HDMI 1.4)
You need somewhat recent, good quality cables for 4K, especially with HDR. (HDMI 2.0)
You need new and excellent quality cables for 8K, or 4K with 120 Hz or VRR support. (HDMI 2.1)

The cable included with all PS5s is HDMI 2.1 compliant.

For other loose cables there's no way to tell without plugging it in and seeing. The only proper "tester" for this that anyone might have access to is if they have one of the higher-end Denon receivers from 2020 (the ones that are over $1000 and I think claim to support 8K).

If your cable isn't up to snuff you will have issues like video going black for a few seconds or flickering randomly, stuff like that.

Time to report on a few common issues I've been seeing.

First is the whole PS4/PS5 multiple versions thing. Bizarrely, this issue cropped up for me when I downloaded Fortnite, despite the PS4 version being explicitly incompatible on PS5.

What you have to do when hovering over a game's launch icon is to press the button formerly known as Options and select "Game Version". This will break down into whatever's related to the game in question (I think it will also list base/GOTY versions where those are separate SKUs). (*fixed in patch) So make sure you're on the correct (PS5) version.



Second is managing DLC at least for PS4 titles.

Same idea, you just go to "Manage Game Content" from the "Options" menu on the game icon.



Then anything you don't have installed that's a separate download will be listed here with "not installed" next to it.



Just go down the list and hit X to add the items to your download queue.






The PS5 DLC menu goes a step beyond and lets you uninstall components. It seems to have support for CJing language packs too, but I don't know if any games properly leverage this feature yet.

My big beautiful box arrived from Sony with no PS5 inside











Oh wait, that was the point, it's a box for me to send my PS5 to them (I have that RT issue). Here's info on it, for the curious.



Big chunky box containing absolutely everything you need to send your PS5 back, including a prepaid shipping label and even strips of tape to seal the box with.

The foam that supports the PS5 is precisely molded to perfectly hold the console.



And here's the instructions you get for sending it back, it's pretty much identical to the PS4 Pro I sent in. You have to remove the stand. Also, as usual, dead bugs in console = voided warranty and they won't repair it even if you pay them.



My plan is to ship it back first thing on Monday and hope I get it back for Friday (might not be likely but definitely possible).
