rpgfaker Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have heard that you can install other operating systems on the PS3 and would like to know which OS work. And whats the benefits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Only Linux (Yellow Dog, Red Hat etc) as far as I know and only on non-slim's. Benefits: Emulators. Although I'm not sure its worth the trouble anymore. I now use my Wii and original Xbox for emulation goodness. I can also hook up my PC to my TV if I want.

rpgfaker Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Only Linux? Which version is better? Also it partitions the disc drive do I save the emulators in the Linux partition, or could you run them off a USB. Which emulators work?

rpgfaker Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well I grabbed YDL 6.2 and burned the DVD, found most of the emulators and think I'm ready to give this a go...but then the Fixstars site goes down! I can't do this without some kind of document, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Cool...I had YDL as well and I remember running ScummVM. I think there are a lot of emu's that work like SNESExpresss and MAME but I havent tested them. Some people complain its a little complex to map buttons etc. Let us know how well you do!
