NONE ⁂ Apr 6, 2025

Vale, dejo este toot por aqui para advertir a cualquiera interesado en el hackeo de PlayStation 2: cuidado con las apps de Homebrew que toquetean la Memory Card y demás sistemas de almacenamiento de la consola.

Ayer intenté probar una app llamada Apollo y me corrompió la información guardada en la MC. No solo perdí las partidas guardadas (estaba por terminar Devil May Cry 3, Adios Yakuza y Zone of the Enders 😭), sino que se me borró el Free MCBoot y ya no pude jugar a los juegos en digital.

Por suerte pude esta mañana volver a hacer la instalación, pero las partidas ya no se pueden recuperar y no sé que otras configuraciones se me habrán pasado.

Una situación bastante fastidiosa, que bueno que la Memory Card quedó intacta, porque me asusté.
