    Wait, you can get jailbreak discs from aliexpress? That might be worth looking into…

    (although, how do we know if it’s got malware on it?)

      you can also burn it yourself if you have a bluray burner, the software the aliexpress discs use is freely available (search for “goldhen”)

        Oooh awesome. I figured normal burned discs wouldn’t work.

        We don’t have a bluray burner (only a CD/DVD drive) but have been kinda wanting to get one.

          Shoot, apparently it’s not open source. That’s not confidence-inspiring… but then again PS3 CFWs weren’t either (*sighs*)

          Does that apply to PS4s running 11.something? I can’t remember what OS version our PS4 is on, but it’s new enough that a jailbreak only came out pretty recently. Needed a specific game disc to work.

              Oooh lovely!! We’re uh, pre-12.5 I think.

              A DVD won’t work, right, it’s gotta be a bluray? Because if we can do this with a DVD-R and not need another reader, that’d be great.

                nope it has to be BD. honestly just get it from aliexpress, a BD burner is €100+, not really worth it to buy one for single use
