Title: PS3 linux
Post by: EmuChicken on February 28, 2010, 05:24:06 AM
Just wanted to ask if anyones got linux on their PS3 box?  ... which are they using? and how is the performance?

Currently installing Xubuntu to mine, wanna see if I can get a decent Amiga emulation thing going on it...

YDL6.1 myself


see video in this post onwards for performance of eUAE:

i tried Ubuntu originally, and it wasnt as well-prepared for PS3 usage as YDL is. maybe that has changed now, i dont know.

apparently YDL in the past was the only one that had PS3 compatibility, but now its all in included in the linux core... or something.

- btw Im using Xubuntu at the moment, so far it seems kinda nippy... xubuntu being the least memory intensive from the ubuntu series (ubuntu > kubuntu > xubuntu).
Unsure on how it compares to YDL at the moment, only tried BTSS which works well through Scummvm.

yet to see how E-UAE runs... may record a quick vid like you did ;-) 
looks like youve got a great setup with all your miggy stuff running in YDL btw HH

Who are these two - Horrace and the Spider????

They look dodgy to me. Probably showing you how to nuke your PS3.  >:(  :D

Anyway, let's enjoy our Linux and show the PS3 slim owners what they're missing!

You don't have to update but if  you want to be able to still use "online games network and the ability to playback certain games or Blu-ray DVDs that require the most up-to-date firmware" then your screwed.

I think I'd be pissed if I had a phat ps3!

for me, the only saving grace is that Apple support the wireless Blutooth PS3 pads natively, so i will probably only use my macbook for UAE now.
