104w ago - This weekend PlayStation 3 hacker Robo Hobo has released a PS3 port of the FUSE Free Unix Sinclair Spectrum Emulator dubbed FUSE 1.0.0.1 PS3 Alpha 1 for both JailBreak and PS3 Custom Firmware users.

Download: FUSE 1.0.0.1 PS3 Alpha 1 for PS3 3.41 / FUSE 1.0.0.1 PS3 Alpha 1 for PS3 CFW / Repo

To quote: Here is a version for testing, I'm calling it 'Alpha 1'. There's a lot of features in the emulator, and I'm not all that familiar with the spectrum to even begin testing them all. If you find any issues, or have any ideas for improvement, please post them.

If you are using a USB keyboard post any info about non-working keys (likely on non-US keyboards) and I'll add them to the sdcell key map for future releases.

Please read the Readme.PS3 file in the zip for usage info and known issues.

From the Readme File: 1.0.0.1: PS3 Alpha 1 Release Notes:

This is a test release, not all features have been thoroughly tested. Please report any issues and feedback. Issues should NOT be reported to the FUSE project, this port is unofficial and the fuse team will not be able to provide support.

Download: CD-Man Shareware PS3 Port / God of Thunder PS3 Port / Updates and Guide

To quote: Today I am releasing a proof of concept POC version of DosBox that comes bundled with a shareware release called CD-MAN that autoloads (no keyboard or DOS know-how needed)!

What is this?
This is a ready-to-go preinstalled DOS shareware game.

Does this require DosBox to be installed on my PS3?
No, DosBox binaries/config-files are included

I already have DosBox installed, will this conflict with or overwrite it?
NO - THIS WILL NOT OVERWRITE DOSBOX!!! - IT CAN RUN SIDE-BY-SIDE WITHOUT ISSUES! This PKG installs to //dev_hdd0/game/CDMAN1234

Why do I have to press the right thumbstick before my controls will work?
This switches...

108w ago - This weekend PlayStation 3 developer Robo Hobo has released DoPSBox v0.74 R1, which is a DOSBox Emulator for homebrew fans and PS3 Custom Firmware users.

Download: DOSBox v0.74 PS3 R1 Emulator for CFW / DOSBox v0.74 PS3 R1 Emulator for 3.41 Dongle

From the ReadMe file: DOSBox-0.74-ps3-r1

Issues: There are still some performance bottlenecks. In testing cycle values above 10000 provided the most issues. Tweaking some values in dosbox-0.74.conf may help to improve performance.

There are still some usability issues with the on screen keyboard. If a lot of typing is necessary you may consider hooking up a physical one.

Using the fluidsynth midi synth requires a soundfont is sf2 format. Place the file on the PS3 and edit dosbox-0.74.conf to set the value 'midiconfig' to the full path to the file. It's also necessary to change the 'mididevice' option to the value 'synth'.

There is currently no PS3 optimized loader. The DOS commands needed to launch the game need to be type every time you start the app. You can reduce the typing by adding common lines to the dosbox config file's autoexec section.

Using soft mouse and keyboard:
