ps3xploit.me is a website Melon playground is a strange game where you can completely de-stress after the stress you have to endure. Being a sandbox game means that you fully utilize your creativity to think of ways to combine the items in the game to create a combination that satisfies your creativity. that provides tools and resources related to PS3HEN and other PlayStation 3 homebrew.

hi
can i play hen hfw 4.90.1 v. game resolution 1080p 60fps not shift to 720p ?


September 9th, 2023 at 4:33 am

YOGESH529 The screen resolution can be forced in PARAM.SFO but most PS3 games play natively at 720p.

Some games use lower resolution and are upscaled to 720p.
