The game that was unlocked using the "fix install" method, also stayed working fine. Results: Disc games operate fine without the CMOS battery. I then turned off the system and popped out my CMOS battery and booted back up to begin testing. I first tested all of the games to make sure they were fully unlocked and working appropriately. The others I installed using PKG files then activating in PSNPatch using RAPS. I installed one with the "old school" method of using an "install file" and a "fix file".

I installed a few of them as demo's using PSN patch to "activate demo".

I then installed several games (that I ALREADY OWN) using several different methods of unlocking them just to see exactly how the CMOS battery affects each type of install method. I setup a brand new PSN account to test with. Method of Installs: First off, this console was a brand new install for CFW on a fully restored system, just to make sure I was starting from scratch.

I do plan to do a slightly longer term testing just to see how this date/time update scenario plays out when leaving the CMOS battery out of the console. I've found some pretty interesting results so far. And they’ve said before that their games from PS4 onwards will be playable on newer hardware in the future so I can certainly imagine that it’ll be even longer before they change things with the PS4 to make it unplayable.Summary: So I decided to do some testing on my side on one of my spare slims, just to remove all the guesswork, myth's, and youtube hype surrounding what will occur once the internal CMOS battery on a JB ps3 dies out and how that will affect games that I own. But really, even with the PS3’s store closure, we’ll still be able to download games we own and update our physical games and lastly the authentication server will still be up an even longer amount of time. We are pretty entirely at the whims of Sony/Microsoft to keep these newer games available.

When was the last time a game hasn’t come out with a day one patch that fixes tons of bugs or even full on adds content? Like even if you somehow don’t have any internet ever, it’s not like you’ll still be able to get the most out of several big games that come out. I’m not even really trying to deflect here or downplay things it’s just I can’t help but feel like this is a partial reality with the all digital future. It’s just as bad if not worse on Xbox One and Series S|X considering that those systems require online accounts to do anything on them and require online for pretty much everything. I mean I can’t help but feel like this is an overplayed fear. Why not jailbreak the console at that point? Once Sony shuts down the console's online functionality and essentially stops all services for that console what's to stop you from jailbreaking it and using it to just play games like normal? I personally dislike games piracy, but at the point where Sony stops supporting the hardware in any capacity and the only way for you to play games you legally own is to jailbreak your console then that seems like the best way to proceed. This question is for everyone who echoed your post. I'm fairly certain that people won't be playing PS4 stuff in 2060 when stuff like the Nerve Gear or Full Dive VR systems are very much in the realm of possibility in the next few decades. I don't think there are a lot of people playing 40 year old games.

I really hate to say this, but the market for retro games that old is small. They will almost certainly keep the PS4 side of the PSN alive and well for a good long time since future consoles will be natively compatible with everything in that store. Does anyone really think Sony will go back to the wildly exotic hardware/software jumps of the PS2 -> PS3 -> PS4 gens? It sucks ass that Sony has gotten rid of backwards compatibility for the past gens, but I really don't see it being a problem for future PlayStation generations. Thinking logically, the PS6 should be a natural evolution of this.

The PS4 and PS5 are basically the same architecture with better hardware. I can see how some would be so worried about it in that case, but it's still a worst case scenario. Okay, thanks for explaining that clearly.
