Odd ... I only renamed the .dll file, then later tried to delete, the app had it locked up. Had to kill the app manually, delete that .dll, and boom ... it's way better (but I also set my config per those instructions as well).
So far, so good. It's definitey smoother than the official app. On fast movement, it's still got a delay and feels like a compressed feed for sure, doesn't feel like it's a full 1080 nor 60fps, but it's still better - it removes the stutter that the official app has.

I've had issues too. Always get some ctrl error.
To get around the controller thing, I use a dummy account for the Chiaki login. Then I log into my real account. From here you get an annoying pop up that says *remote play connected" at top. To get rid of this I go to System - Language and swap it to UK English then back to real English and it goes away.
This lets me use a controller connected to the Ps5. You're just logged into two profiles at once with this work around.

12-Jan-2023(#245)I finally got Chiaki to work! I used the trinket site for the ID instead of the new one and then made sure which characters were zeroes and which were Os.

No. They are not connected like that. They are all stand alone games. Although Before the Storm is a prequel to the first game.

19-Jan-2023(#249)https://www.thegamer.com/ps5-detachable-disc-drive...What in the actual hell is Sony doing? Instead of solving a problem they made another one. Are they releasing the drive because future revisions just won't have an optical internal drive option? If it doesn't work with the dozens of millions of digital consoles already purchased this is basically a repair part. Only good for consoles released after the September revision...
Jesus Christ. What a fudgeup.

19-Jan-2023(#251)Games don't run off the disc, they get installed from my experience. So even if the ports on the current models aren't fast enough to move data it shouldn't matter.
My guess is that this is intentional. They want a sexy slim SKU as the only model available at a cheaper price. Then the add-on. But they don't want people to have the behemoth
+ another box as we all know the jokes will be flying.

I wouldn't get all jacked about it until we actually know something, otherwise it kinda looks like click bait.

I really enjoyed all the Life is Strange games. I don't mind walking simulators if the story is intriguing enough. So these games, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit: Become Human, all of Supermassive Games stuff (Until Dawn, The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Quarry) are all games I enjoy.
I have yet to play The Devil in Me.

Visually impressive, easy to play and very tight. I don’t like it because it’s boring to me. I’m minority on that.

20-Jan-2023(#256)I don’t usually like games like Rift Apart, but it was very good. The controls are a lot tighter and the cameras are a lot better than Mario 64 for sure. I’ve never played Sunshine, so I couldn’t compare there.

I’ll echo this. Love ‘em. Just plain and simple platforming action. Rift apart was really cool too with traversing those dimensions.

21-Jan-2023(#262)First one I played was Rift Apart, pretty fun. I may have played a PS2 one, but don't really remember 100%.

23-Jan-2023(#265)That doesn't sound very confirmed
Anxiouz
24-Jan-2023(#269)I've been seeing more clickbait articles saying the opposite. That it sounds like the focus is just straight to PS6 instead of a PS5 Pro. I kinda lean that way since it took over 2 years for PS5s to just be found on store shelves. With so many new PS5 owners in the mix having a Pro even in another 2 years doesn't seem worthwhile. Having to manage the new disc add-on SKU + PSVR2 + PS5 Pro + PS6 planning sure seems like a lot to deal with.

24-Jan-2023(#274)If history is any indicator we should see the slim/pro late this year and the PS6 in November of 2027.

24-Jan-2023(#281)It's not every PS+ game released in the past. It's a catalog of games listed here:
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-plus/games/#g...That list changes monthly. So far not a whole lot of high-profile drop offs, but it's like Netflix with stuff coming and going. Every month games get added. You still get the few "claim and you have as long as you're subscribed" games each month, but the + extra games can disappear from the catalog. Good value if you get a subscription on sale, have plenty of spare time, and haven't played a lot of the older games. If you're after the latest and greatest releases you'll be disappointed.
As for the Game Pass advantages: it can be cheaply stacked, has day one releases, and also works on PC.
