SKFU has posted a brief guide on three way to run your own code on Sony's PS3 console, as follows:
1. OtherOS
The easiest way to run your own code on the PlayStation 3 is through Linux which you can install as alternative OS. Several restrictions regarding the RSX, but it seems to become better regarding 3D acceleration since the new
MESA 3D GL was released with CELL support.
2. BD-Java
A few days ago I
reported, that the developers of demonhades.org found out, that BD-Java still works if you correctly burn it on a Blu-Ray disc. With the FreePlay's minimal
BD-Java SDK it's quite ok to develop Java for PS3.
3. Flash
Since FW 2.0 till FW 3.0 there was the so called Informationboard. This is a simple .swf file on the HDD and can be replaced with knightsolidus' HDD decryption method. As the informationboard.swf does not run in a sandbox there's a lot possible but sadly it was removed in the actual FW 3.0.
Good news thank you I will hold off update for a few days I suppose...
Erm... Option 1 is capped from the slim, and as stated by SKFU, has a poor RSX support, so what's the point?
Option 2? Who would spend an expensive Blu-ray disk to play BD-Java? I wouldn't...
And finally, option 3 - Never heard of it... But wtf... flash? You could just put it in a webpage and run it via web...
So, in the end, stick it to the man, I say. Like Jack Black said in "School of Rock", I probably have "Stickittothemaneosis".
