In order to make use of your SPEs under Linux, you must have spufs mounted on /spu. For example:
# mount -t spufs spufs /spu
Or equivalently, ensure /etc/fstab contains a line similar to the following:
spufs /spu spufs defaults 0 0
Building

hi dude
my ps3 is 320G. cech 3004B. base version 4.10 but now update to 4.41
can i downgrade and hack it
if yes how can i do that plz
thx...
You're literally bruting data for seedy companies..how do I know... ummm.. cause that is what you're doing when you're generating keys for generic crypto ciphers and doing plain-text searches on the data after rounds... which is identical to what this does..
The one that beeps five times gives me no idea what firmware is on it to know where to start . Am I understanding you right and thats a 3.41 fault? I have tried a number of unbricking ways using a downgrader and many firmwares and jail-breaking tricks with now joy. The only thing I have not tried is the battery trick with the fore pins shorted which worked on another 3.41 box funny enough with another fault.
so now I have lost interest due to having others doing what I need, but I may just try one thing, before I call it a day with the five beeper.
I did think of stripping them down and using the cooling system for a 19" rack mounted aluminum hard drive cooling plate for a server, but I hopefully will go with SS drives instead now. I do keep the caddy's tho for easy harddrive swapping.
The cases would be good if your pimping your ps3, and wish to change cases back. Just a thought.
