I gave away my previous Ps4, but now I'm in a weird spot where I don't have a bluray player. It sounds like getting a bluray drive for Linux systems doesn't seem to work very for drm reasons, so I'm trying to decide whether I should get a new drive for my ps3 or maybe get a new ps4. Ps5 is way too expensive. 🤔

    You can hack blu ray players, which can help get around DRM but also let you make your own rips of both movies and games.

    For patching this seems to only work with 1 specific drive chipset. Also not sure if 'native support' in the chart means any BD drive (when relevant) or only if it only works with BD drives that were already models that had the specific hardware/firmware to read games (I'm guessing it's this one).

    I would be very upset with my old non-compatible LG drive if I didn't also lack the other circumstances that would make ripping games usable.

    I was able to source the keys and play movies just fine. Only thing was that the Menu didn't work on VLC, so I had to play the titles directly. They all played fine though. The key thing though stagnates development and means issues won't be fixed due to perceptions abut obtaining said keys.
