      Sony should find methods to save games and all stuff like a BackUp or something ,accidentally pulled the power cord out it’s commonly happening even the electricity shutdown happens in some countries,it has to be a solution for that not just reinstall all games again it’s painful

    I can only guess why Sony have decided to make such a hard job of something that is supposed to be automatic but if it was to put people off the Ps4 and make them decide to upgrade to the next PlayStation system it has had the complete opposite effect on me.

    • @ZadiusTech
      @ZadiusTech  3 роки тому +1

      You'll need to connect the PS4 controller to the PS4 with a compatible wired cable and then use the D-PAD (not the joysticks) to move up and down. If nothing happens when you press the PS button on your controller then that means your USB cable is not compatible. I have an Amazon link to a compatible USB cable in the video description.
