Delicious!!!!
Swwwweeeeet!!!!
I would have a reason to plop down 500 for a PS3.
It might be easier since the system supports games that run both on the PSP and the PS3, and I'm not just talking PS1 here. I'm thinking PS3 ports of PSP emulators. The only thing left to understand is how the games that the systems play (from the playstation store) are either games based on a PS1 format, or are they indeed games that run on code that's inherent to both systems.
Only time will tell, but it looks like the future is going to be bright.
A ps3 is a computer, anything can be installed if you know how to. I don't see a problem installing windows xp on PS3. Of course, something of that magnitude would require intimate knowledge of the system hardware and software, and the creation of a hypervisor to run virtual machines on the system would be required making the process very tedious, difficult, and remote.

Well I am psyched for the PS3's homebrew and I actually didn't even notice this up until now which is pretty sad. At first I was just excited for an N64 emulator but now that I think about it, there could be some greatly creative homebrews that could take advantage of the SIXAXIS or the PSEYE. The possibilities would really be endless. We just need that one Hello World. The difficult part will be deciding between the new firmware, which should have in-game XMB, and the potential for great homebrew. It would be easy if a bunch of great homebrew came out with a Hello World but I doubt that will happen. A firmware update will probably come before any of the real homebrew that I'm looking forward to. Therefore, please gimme a custom firmware.
no i mean use the other os to install i'm sure with later hacking someone will manage to download and install without virtual crapQuote:

they fact is you can sit and say oh well the ps3 can do this it can do that the fact is alot of the actual software dev's from big companies are complaining the ps3 is insanly hard to program for compaird to any other system.
the fact is if it hasnt been made for pc since pc's now are more powerfull than the ps3 it is not going to suddenly come out for the ps3 as why would you skip the things that are simple to code from and go to something that is total hell.
would be greate to have soe working aplications or programs from the ps3 menu :( aslo to add dark alex is not bothering on the ps3 but is focusing on the xbox360 only
my source for this infmration was on qj.net
:D
long live homebrew :D ... we need emus for our ps3 :(
As I said before I just began to think of the potential of the creativity that programmers could have with the homebrew on PS3 considering the SIXAXIS and the PSEYE but it will also be interesting to see the homebrew on the Wii.
There is going to be some amazing stuff on each of these systems once the hacks come out for them. In fact, now that I think about it the homebrew on the Wii could potentially draw me in to buying a Wii but I wouldn't buy it for the console itself.
Oh yah and as for homebrew on the PS3 I also want to play some SNES and Super Mario War. I assume that those will be given since they can almost run full speed in Linux without any hassle but the main reason I want to have them through homebrew is for a standard and easy way of using the SIXAXIS to control through bluetooth. I hate going on ubuntu and then having to set up the SIXAXIS through bluetooth through a series of commands and then having something go wrong.
Essentially, ease of use will be the first positive for homebrew for me as I still haven't gotten SNES and SMW to run at full speed with sound with the SIXAXIS without a hitch. And if I did then it would be a hassle.
This site never really supported the xbox homebrew scene for the same reason (it being illegal) so I wouldn't expect to much enthusiasm on here. lolQuote:

Thus, if the PSEYE and SIXAXIS are used correctly and possibly together then motion sensing homebrew on PS3 > motion sensing homebrew on the Wii. That's a fact.
But I didn't make that post to compare the homebrew between the two consoles so you didn't need to step in and try to start a fight. But if you consider my point then I am right.
I assumed that ps3 already played ps2 games and all that would be required is a homebrew remote play feature, I never mentioned Xbox and as for gamecube I was kinda hopeful. But as for windows all you would need is a good enough dosbox port for ps3 and windows 95.Quote:

And, oh yes... What the hell with the regioning on the emulation core of the PS3? I buy everything US. My PAl PS3 doesn't do PS1/2 US. Glad I havn't retired my PS2.
Wii - Region free gaming, SSBB FTW!!!
PS3 - Sony to be nice to the europeans and that doesn't even require a hack!
Heck i have a Dreamcast.. but if it was possible to have an emulator on the PS3.. I would LOVE it!!
Just only good homebrew projects for both consoles, that's all I want.
