Full Working Linux On 3.41 PS3 – Graf_Chokolo

News via Dukio

Graf_Chokolo has finally done what others couldn’t. Linux with all GameOS features, the much better “OtherOS” for your PS3, read more from him.

And here we go http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif Linux is officially back on PS3 3.41. It’s even better now http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
It has all GameOS features, it has access to all HDD, VFLASH and FLASH regions. It can communicate with Dispatcher Manager, Update Manager, SYSCON Manager, it can run isolated SPUs, and of course RSX http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
I uploaded some screenshots of the Debian distribution i installed on my PS3 HDD. The Debian distribution is a just normal PPC64 Linux without any modification, all i changed was my dutifully and beloved Hypervisor http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
I modified the Hypervisor so far that it boots the Linux bootloader petitiboot from VFLASH and petitboot loads the Linux distribution installed on a HDD region.
And what is better than Linux to boot Linux ? http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
I practically implemented Dual Boot feature GameOS+OtherOS in the Hypervisor http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif Linux is not the only OS which can be booted like this from PS3 HDD.
Now we don’t need GameOS anymore to run our code, no need anymore for SELFs and we can start now programming our own games on PS3 on Linux http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
I will make everything public http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
And greetings to SONY http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif Hand me over the maintance and implementation of PS3 Hypervisor http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif I will improve it and maintain for free http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif We all will benefit. HV hacking is great fun http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif
PS: Compiling now my own Linux kernel on PS3 itself http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif

Don’t worry guys, it will be on 3.55 too. Release is imminent.

Guys, one step after another, first test and implement with 3.41 then port to 3.55 http://dukio.com/wp-includes/images/...icon_smile.gif

Oh wow, this is great. I'd love to try running Linux on the PS3 again! Just find a way to freely allocate the amount of space used for Linux and the GameOS partitions and I'll be set!

Hopefully, it will soon be available for 3.55, so my fat model which I now refer to as my PS3view can have more than just homebrew and PlayTV. :)
