All-Guide: Installing YDL/VLC/MPlayer/SNES9x on PS3!

[WAK2SNO]

Thanks a lot for this guide. it has helped greatly! one question though. do you know how i would go about to rip a blu ray on ydl?

i installed a 160 gig harddrive in my ps3 so i know i have the room to try it, but i just can't figure out how to rip blu ray yet. and i really dont know how to use linux all that much.

It was possible with older firmware. I think pre 1.5. New firmware will just throw the blu-ray disc out.

I think the command was:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/imagename.img

To dump/copy/back-up games and Blurays is the installation of the VLC, MPlayer, & SNES9x all required to make a successful copy to the hdd?

no. that's not required.

Does this support blue tooth keyboards, etc. after installation?

help needed,

i installed ydl at a friends place using rca cables. now at home i have the ps3 hooked up to tv via hdmi. once logged in i get a command line screen. how can i get to the gui interface screen. do i need to reinstall ydl with the ps3 hooked up via hdmi this time or can i type a command to get out of this mode?

im just wondering:

cant you play a blueray with mplayer and just dump it to a file while watching?
or does this mean you can't even watch a blue ray in linux?

Hi all.

It's my first time and this forum is great. Even though I'm a total linux noob I've managed to install YDL 6.0 on my 60 gb Ps3 and configure VLC to access my network and stream files stored in my pc.

The only problem I have is that when I start VLC nothing happens... (gui doesn't show up). If I try to play directly from the file it will run ut also only a window will show and no commands are available...

I have searched and it seems that I should add a package for the gui. Could anyone show me how...?

thanks a lot for all the help

i install it following every step, but when i go to preferences to select where the rom file and snesx file is it wont highlight in the window its just grey and wont alow me to select it.

any ideas?

thanks

When you download the Snes9x onto the PS3 where do you put the extracted files? and in What user? Root or "other". and what is an "executable"? because whatever it is, i cant find it once ive followed the instuctions.
