Full on PS3 and Wii Homebrew Approaches

[`The0n3]

The recent movement in hacking of the Wii and PS3 mean we are close on 2 fronts to have 2 new exciting consoles for homebrew.

The Nintendo Wii with its Wiimote controller should provide some of the most varied and interesting games ever to be created by homebrew developers.

The PS3 with all that power should be host to some amazing emulators, although im not sure what is possible it makes you wonder if full speed Dreamcast emulation is a goer in time.

My personal hopes for the PS3 is in time some type of Custom Firmware which supports region free PS1 and PS2. Region Free gaming on the Wii would be awesome too.

Whatever happens its going to be mega exciting for the WHole Homebrew scene. As always DCEmu will continue to be at the heart of all homebrew.

What are you looking forward to with the PS3 and Wii Scenes once the first true homebrew appears ?

I can't wait to sit and watch....if you all fix your damn servers they are ridiculous right now.

Team ICE are frauds if you ask me. The very fact that the news came from "ps3hax" just says it all.

Exactly what I said.

i believe that the ps3 could do this
-since linux can be installed! windows xp,me,2000,98,or 95 can be installed with cfw(since my computer is 256mb of ram and ps3 has 512mb and better graphics it would be possible)
-psone/ps2/psp homebrew and region free(not psp) games
-emulaters
-dreamcast
-gamecube
-xbox
-wii possible if the wii is just a ps2 with remotes and nunchucks
pretty much every software known to man

ps3 with really be the greatest homebrew/pc system around

Yeah, linux can be installed. And what it means? RSX is locked, so linux is pretty useless.

No, Windows systems can not be installed. You can install Linux only because those distributions HAVE specifical support for PS3, but Windows wouldn't find any hardware and won't even install.

And as said before, Homebrew on PS3 is more far now than before in being done.

yep asuming stuff will come for the ps3 quick is a joke considering alot of companies are complaining how complex it is to program for. it is also stated it will take about 5 years for any1 to have enough understanding of the cell to use it fully. so yes the ps3 may get some basic homebrew but dont expect anything big quick.

as far as dreamcast, xbox, game cube and the others go if people are finding it to hard to program them in windows that has a relitivly simple programing method what hope do they have on the ps3? also the pc is slugish emulating anything that is a ps2 or above yet pc's have more more power than the actual consoles without full knolage of how the code works and how the console works you may as well just stick the discs in the drive and hit it as it will probly get the games to work on the ps3 as fast as the emulators come.

I would kill for a software method of playing imported games, I'm sick of Nintendo shafting us European folk. The sooner I get to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl the better.

I'll be sure to keep a close eye on the homebrew community, great things look like they're about to happen!

(Fix your servers dcemu, it's getting rediculous!)

I'd settle for just PS1/PS2 backups on PS3

[MicroNut]

Don't know why anyone would want to put windows on a PS3?
A VM of windows on the PS3 would be worthless.

There wont be Gamecube, PS2, Jaguar, Xbox emulators for PS3...
If it does not exist on windows it wont magically appear on the PS3.

I would rather see a PS3 with full on emu and multimedia support than the wii.

Linux with full RSX support on the PS3 would the $#@!e.
Current EMU's would have near 100% capability.
And XBMC would have a Linux platform it could be specifically developed for.

Ah, the NEWS!
Bah... get your news from as many sources as possible.
Then make up your mind.

Simply saying one news source is "crap" and another is "the best" is a dangerous path... unless its the enquirer or star.
Where aliens, lizard men and take over the world every day!

PS3NEWS deserves its well earned rep but that does not mean they deserve complete banishment.
Well maybe not complete but very, very close...
pretty sure an evil alien runs that website or a just a complete nub.

PS3HAX what did they ever do wrong?
What have they ever done right?
- never heard of them till ICE.
Of coarse ICE TEAM are frauds.
They don't even seem to understand what a HYPERVISOR is.

M.A.X.C.O.N.S.O.L.E.
- DA is an Admin there! and actually talks to people and responds sometimes when they have questions.
Cant be that bad of a place.

DCEMU hates M.A.X.C.O.N.S.O.L.E. so much that their name has been banned from within their forums.

Its just stupid the infighting between web sites.
Stand alone when you must.
Work together when you can.

I would rather see a PS3 with full on emu and multimedia support than the wii.

I actually think the contrary. Wii has much more potential than PS3 and, as you said, there won't be PS2 or XBOX emulators, so the Wii's horsepower will suffice, plus the benefit from the versatile controls.

So, Wii seems a FAR better homebrew console than PS3, for me.

isnt SDK ps3 illegal since day one?

As every leaked SDK

Why do you think that there will be Gamecube, PS2, Jaguar, Xbox, etc emulators for PS3?

jaguar is douoble gp2x can do it somwat http://youtube.com/watch?v=9YYnPTlHRNE so the ps3 can also but the T2K Atari Jaguar emulator will not be porte over to ps3
