What's the big deal when you can do whatever on linux?
this will certainly bring update 2.11 by friday whether it has potential or not. mark my words
edit: for above post: linux locks down a lot of hardware, including all hopes of 3D graphics (for more domestic programs than internet browsers)
and besides, hijacked firmware is the best way to go.
No RSX Access. (video acceleration)Quote:

Then you get the idea.
Linux is extremely gimped when it comes to graphics. Sony refuses to release a graphics driver that allows you to utilize even a little bit of the RSX, so running Linux is pretty pointless ATM.Quote:

Linux is great and all, but I think the big deal is that people want to use the PS3 XMB to launch their games, much in the same way as it is on the PSP. As well, if this hack does turn into something useful, as the other exploits did on the PSP, we could potentially run homebrew games without any restrictions on the CPU, GPU or Ram.Quote:
