Hidy ho guys. it's true I'm still alive, sometimes I go off on these extended vacations to avoid getting caught in a grind. that's what I would like people to believe anyway. but in reality, i'm just this huge gamer and sometimes I go through these phases where every second of my spare time in spent in on games,. Lately i've been playing a lot of ps3. By the way, thanks to everyone that voted. I really couldn't be happier with my shiny new console.
...
I began looking into homebrew options for the ps3, and I have a couple questions.
I was hoping that maybe some ps3 zealot could swing through and clear some things up for me, Firstly. is linux the only option for ps3 homebrew? if one could even call it that? secondly. having a non backwards compatible ps3? if I installed this linux, could my ps3 be made to play ps2 games, all the while retaining its bc for ps1 and the ability to play ps3 titles ?
I have spoken to a few people about the linux for the ps3. there are like two or three different versions like yellow dog and fedora and ext..
but the one common note that is given to me is that no matter what version of linux I decide to use, my ps3 will still very very limited in functionality.
is linux even worth it? Would I still be able to have a choice of which os to use? or once I install linux is my ps3 firmware gone?
any enlightenment on these issues would greatly help a shadow out.
peace, shades.
