Recently, interesting news emerged among console gamers who used their TVs to jailbreak the PlayStation 4 (PS4). By using a jailbroken LG Smart TV, a process that initially sounded complicated is now much simpler. With just a few minutes and an internet connection, the PS4 can be converted to allow game backup and emulator use without the need for a disk.

Jailbreaking PS4 does provide several significant benefits for console owners. One of the main advantages is the ability to back up installed games, allowing users to access them at any time without needing to use a physical disk. Additionally, with jailbreak, users can run emulators that allow them to play games from other consoles on their PS4, giving access to a wider game library.

Citing HackAday.com, the jailbreak process using an LG Smart TV begins by jailbreaking the television itself. After that, users install a digital device on the TV and connect their PS4 using an ethernet cable. An exploit tool running through the TV will set up a LAN connection on the PS4, facilitating the jailbreak process.

While this jailbreak opens up many new possibilities, there are also associated risks, including the potential use of the device to download pirated games. However, the benefits of jailbreaking can be greater, especially when it comes to extending the life of expensive electronic devices. By taking full control of their devices, users can ensure that they remain useful and relevant, even after the original manufacturer has moved on to newer products.

The ability to control and modify electronic devices such as cell phones, TVs, and game consoles represents an important step in consumer technology, allowing individuals to maximize their technology investments. Despite the controversy, jailbreaking continues to be a hot topic among the tech-savvy community and gamers who want more from their devices.
