Video: Windows Vista hits the PS3, as expected it's very slow

Category: PlayStation 3 & PSN News  By: PS3 News - (youtube.com)
Tags: video windows vista hits ps3 expected very slow

250w ago - mopx0 has installed Windows Vista 32 bit on the PS3, the whole process takes a huge amount of time and the end result is that the emulation runs very slow as evidenced by the fact it takes nearly 25 minutes to boot to the start menu.

To quote: It's a 100% PS3 based emulation of Microsoft Windows Vista. Its super slow, but it works.

Tutorial: Install Qemu 0.9.1

- Install Vista on your Computer using Qemu and Bochs Bios Rev 1.171 by sshwarts
- Vlite helps speed the install up, Vista's install may take a day or so





- Bochs Bios Revision 1.171 can be found here (http://bochs.cvs.sourceforge.net/bochs/bochs/bios/BIOS-bochs-latest?view=log&pathrev=MAIN)
- You may also need to add this command "-cpu pentium3" for qemu to work right
- Copy the .IMG to your PS3's HDD
- Open Terminal where the Vista IMG is located
- Type qemu -hda vista.img -m 256 -L "Location to Rev 1.171, Drag n Drop" -cpu pentium3
- The -cpu pentium3 option makes it so it doesn't BSOD with error code 7F

It will take about 25 min to fully boot (network connection and audio show up).

I think it's not worth to try. If you have to wait for a day to install...no no no...Not Vista. XP would be better, but i also feel it's slow.

Why on earth would you even want to run the latest crapware from M$, let alone emulating a whole architecture just to do it. Oh well, to each his own.

Did they also try to install Xp? Vista is slow also on my quad core gaming PC

If Sony can left the RSX driver specifications the things will be more differtent: u can use PS3 like a real PC or MAC
