PS3 Dual Boot GameOS / Linux Custom Firmware (CFW) Arrives

[antuss]

sounds kool.. what does this actually allow you to do anyway..

Use your ps3 as a computer. internet, email, web browsing, software development... whatever you want.

Anyone tried to install XBMC in linux on the PS3?

According to this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=21849&page=56 it might work without having to patch it.

i would love to see xbmc on ps3, someone try it i can't..

[aideng2011]

would love to see this in action, anyone using it that's willing to make a short vid?

can we run a PS1 emulator from linux on the ps3?

Not possible now, but once linux can run unfettered on the GameOS we may be one step closer. We will still need some talented programmers to create GFX drivers and/or OPENGL support for the GFX chipset before we might have enough 3D speed to emu the PS1 or N64 on PS3 i believe.

Right now i run 34+ older emulators on OtherOS YDLinux on my PS3 from the thezerogameproject.com, but you currently need fw 3.15 or lower. These linux advances will hopefully lead to running this on the PS3 with newer fw and full GFX hardware driver support some day, then maybe be able to run these newer game platforms. Still a way off from that as of now though..

I'd love to have this up and running so I can get zerogame back too but I have a fat 256MB NAND console

But yeah to really take advantage for emulators we'd need GFX drivers and cell ports of the emulators to run, but if you can check out thezerogameproject for YDL6.2, it's awesome.

at last.. we can try otheros with slipm ps3! Great news thank you.

[baslichtjaar]

Well...? who TF is who?

I don't remember how I got the url.

my slim ps3 is on 3.41 dongle.. i thinks this is great but i'll wait till i see some more feedback i think.. i don't have any linux os anyway.. i want to get ydl from somewhere but i can't find it.. anyone have links to where i can BUY this..

[barrybarryk]

you don't buy it, it's free.

for YDL the most recent version is 6.2, search will sort you out an iso you can just burn to disc.
