78w ago - Following up on their Red Ribbon GNU / Linux Release Candidate 5 for PS3 update, today PlayStation 3 developer r04drunner has incorporated the wireless driver for PS3 Slim models from Gitbrew into Red Ribbon GNU / Linux RC5 for PS3.

To quote from their page: This update integrates the wireless driver for the slims models developed by gitbrew. You need to connect the PS3 to the Internet, open a lxterminal and download the file:
Then, you can execute it:
And wait until finished.

If while executing it asks: You are running a kernel (version 2.6.38-powerpc64) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-powerpc64 be removed, making it impossible to boot it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory /lib/modules/2.6.38-powerpc64. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not enough, you will have to replace the modules too.

I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt,...

81w ago - PlayStation 3 homebrew developer wborland0 has updated the popular PlayStation 3 game manager / updater application called PS3 Game List to version 1.9.1 for Windows, Linux and Mac this weekend.

Download: PS3 Game List v1.9.1 Manager for Windows / PS3 Game List v1.9.1 Manager for Linux / PS3 Game List v1.9.1 Manager for Mac

To quote: Another small revision with late additions, bringing PS3 Game List to v1.9.1.

The Linux port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.1, is available for download. It implements most of the Windows version features (minus the platform specific functionality). The OpenSSL package is required (download the correspondent version for your release), and so is the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

The OSX port of PS3 Game List, based upon v1.9.1, is here, featuring the same app updates (minus the platform specific functionality). Mac OS X 10.5 or up is required, so is OpenSSL (OSX ships with a slightly outdated version, but it should work; feel free to update to the latest release, though) and the Qt lib (the download link includes base files).

The Snow Leopard issues seem to be fixed;...

84w ago - Today PlayStation 3 developer SubJunk has released what he calls PS3 Media Server SubJunk Build 50 (Updated 2011-10-10) for both Windows and Linux users.

Download: PS3 Media Server SubJunk Build 50 (Windows) / PS3 Media Server SubJunk Build 50 (Linux)

To quote: This build functions as the bleeding-edge testing version of PMS. Here you can find features and bugfixes before they are added to the official version, and sometimes ones that never will be.

Using this build is mostly a way for you to see the newest developments and to help us by providing feedback.

Changelog 1.50.0-SB50:

• Synchronised with official r910 from r856, changelog: https://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/source/list?num=54&start=910
  
• Modified Status tab to display a tick when any renderer is found, instead of either the PS3 or warning message.
  
• Language improvements
