    ps3 Thoughts on PS3 Hacking/Homebrew

    Hi all its great that people are able to boot linux on the PS3, to the general user however Linux is just too hard.

    Now back in the Xbox Emulation days a pal of mine called DC Grendel released an Apple 2 emulator for the Xbox that used Linux but was transparent so was a fully legal emulator for the Xbox. It didnt really get much notice by the Xbox scene but maybe that same idea could be used on the PS3.

    Thoughts anyone ?

    Sure it'd be possible,especially with 3d acceleration for N64.You just need a minimal install with just the emu and dependencies and edit your start up script.I think...

    Seriously though, some of the modern distros of linux are very much point and click.
    I wonder if anybody has installed the psp toolchain and sdk to the PS3?

    I think.. well I hope that Linux emulators will take off now.
    I was a bit disappointed because I thought it gave the xbox alot more potential but wasnt used as much as it could have been...

    my first experience with Linux was with the xbox.. and whilst it was daunting at first.. persistence has paid off Im getting the hang of it and finally streaming emulators, music and pictures from my xbox to psp

    people need to embrace open source.. it so kicks ass compared to overpriced under featured crap that we are near on forced to use
