Cech-2002a custom firmware

Cech-2002a custom firmware

Hey guys just got a hold of a first gen slim cech-2002a, upgraded the hdd to a 500gb but used the latest fw 4.93. I have since found out the 2000 consoles are capable of full custom firmware, but it says needs to support minimum 3.55, does this mean i need to downgrade firmware to 3.55 then go through the custom firmware process?

Also is there any resources out there that does a step by step, im a bit of a noob when it comes to software.

Do these have malware?

Got 2 a5 units quite some time ago, one for boss' office pc and one as spare. No issues whatsoever on the first one, started up set it up and its been kicking along nicely, however the second one, turned on the same, set up windows the same then we plugged in ethernet and it took the system to its knees and task manager was incorrectly reporting as if things were happening but it wasnt saying what was happening. Thought ok screw that lets reinstal windows. The installer would get to 100% then show a message attached above, took the ssd out, dumped it into another pc and cleaned the drive with diskpart. Try installing windows with the bootable usb again and same issue.

What is happening here? Do these have weird hidden partitions on the ssd or anything like that?

Bazzite updated to 44 now rdr2 has graphical issues

Hey guys so as title says, did the update, jumped back into rdr2 (pretty late to this game ive been playing it on and off in the last month)

Ground is invisible, character assessment are all black, all items are black. Tried using proton experimental in steam and a fe other versions but still the same. Anyone know what I can do?

Jumped into cyberpunk 2077 and it came up with user data lost set to default but all is OK just have to reset graphics settings and go.

EDIT: cyberpunk has assets popping in and out of existence....

Steam transfers

Hey guys, to preface, reason why i use steam transfer is because i have super slow internet shared with others in my house so i use a mini pc that i have steam on to slowly download games when no one is awake and then pull from it via my network on my gaming pc and my rog ally x .

This has been working for a while but today my bazzite gaming pc just wont pull from my server. It says its transferring but its downloading over the internet at my service speed not from my server like it says it is....

Just tried it with my rog ally x and it is transfering at over 600mb/s instead of my 40mbs internet speed.

1st pic is it working on my ally x

2nd pic is bazzite saying it will pull from my server (alfred, yes he is my server)

3rd pus is showing my server is in fact turned on and was working, sending game to my ally.

4th and 5th is showing bazzite saying its transfering but in fact its redownloading the game, hence the massive drop in speed. To confirm this is redownloading, my sister is stating her streaming has started buffering and dropping out (whole reason i set this up)

Just wondering, has this got anything to do with my server being a windows based machine downloading the game for Windows? Never had this issue before, usually it transfers and the game works 100% as it should.

I know this might be a niche case but has anyone experienced this? I use it all the time, games download at 10mbs to limit interference to others and then once im finished a game and want to play another, i just hit download and it pulls from server over the network. This has only become an issue in the last few days.

Adding a 2 slot gpu to a 1u chassis

Hey as title says im wanting to add my tesla p100 to my lenovo sr250 1u, have anyone of you guys added a gpu externally to a 1u chassis? If so how have you done so?

I have a hp mini pc that i added oculink but i want x16 or at least x8. Card will be used for llms so from my knowledge, pcie bandwidth is not 100% a limiting factor in a single gpu situation.

Tesla p100 on a usb 4 egpu dock

Hey guys, got a p100 as a cheap self hosted ai card but the mini pc i put oculink into, the bios does not support above 4g decoding so it wont work, it shows up but the driver cant initialise. However i still want to use this card and have an rog ally x with the usb 4 port that supports egpus. Has anyone done this? Instead of running it as a normal gpu, it would be working solely as compute.

Gpu for homelab use

Hey guys, going to get into local ai so im keeping everything local, i also run jellyfin but my intel igpu takes care of that, however it won't do well at all for ai. I am on a budget ($150-$170 aud), power constant and space restricted.

What i want to know is is there anything better than the tesla p4 for size, power consumption and price? It is essentially a higher core 1070 with a lower tdp, with 8gb vram, i do not need data centre speed nor do I want power consumption out the ass, I am happy to wait a min or 2 for reply. I run my system headless so display outs are negligible. I am new to this and would love other peoples input.

EDIT: Ive downloaded lm studio and testing out my i5 10500 and 32gb ram running gemma 4b and yes its slow but usable and actually not as bad as i was thinking so im gonna have a good go at this and see where it ends up. thank you guys for all the input

Big live for this thing

This thing gets used as my main work pc, for all my 3d models as well as media and gaming on the go, this thing does it all. Only gripe is it could be a bit bigger in the screen and a little brighter but still goes hard.

For example test front right ill get both right on bar and right surround play the test, same for left side. Soundbar is set to standard sound mode and rear speakers set to on but nothing i do allows me to have discreet rear channels. Anyone have this issue and know how to help?

Ok so a mate of mine had an i5 13600kf and asrock b660m pro

Combo worked without any issues, mate changed hardware to 5800x3d and itx to go smaller pc build, I sold the combo for him as he doesn't use Facebook, guy comes picks it up hands cash and all sweet, a week later he starts saying it's faulty throwing wheat uncorrectable errors in bsod screan when cpu is under load. So I with a fairly extensive hardware background start asking what been happening, has he tried overclocking and not allowed enough core voltage blah blah blah asking what does monitors state before bsod and all the normal things to look for with hardware issues. I get a response saying the motherboard and cpu never worked together and he's been trying to get it to work since for a week. Am I getting scammed on this?

As a background info ive had plenty of experience with building computers since pentium4 and pentium d era of hardware.

Hey guys how have people found the 500w alt charger? I could order the 800w through work a while back but was taken off the order list due to too many issues, here's the thing though I have a good 12v setup and want to power my ecoflow off it faster than 8amp as well as backfeed in cases where I have ac input.
