Thanks, mgillespie. Always nice to see pre-built stuff to try. But... Tried winrar, winzip or 7z and got "unsupported compression method 99" (I talk about PS3EasyLinux.zip size: 121 362 161 bytes) Is password one of these (I've tried them without success)? st0rmbr1nger mgillespie Firble (i...

Thanks!

Many thanks!

Pads are tricky on the PS2... Too lazy to study/debug your method, but here is a last resort sample, if you need to compare with a working small menu (method nearly identical to the one used in SMS, if I remember correctly, since I learn most of PS2 stuff by studying SMS source) : http://home.tele2....

Security is tight in PS3. HV code is isolated. I don't think any hacker ever found a way to dump it from a running PS3. The other way would be to uncrypt a firmware update file. We probably miss a public key or two to do that, secured tightly in PS3 as well... Or I may be wrong. You still need fw<2....

Just for additional useless info..., MS and Nvidia call this 'barrier' mechanism a 'fence'... (may help to google and find more info about it)

I don't think it's a mistake. Not even a little bit. Higher Sony ranks decided officialy (between them) to shutdown anything discovered that may make PS3 appear as a good computer (their new policy since when Kutagari got removed). But they never do any announcement, or reply to public explanation r...

I'll try to answer you by gathering what have been done so far : Thanks to IronPeter, you get control over 70% of the power of a Nv40 GPU (named RSX) on PS3's with firmwares < 2.10 (if you have 2.10 or above you have no GPU under your control, only a 2D space that is sent to screen every frame by H...

Don't forget Marcus (Mc) went one step forward from his otheros demo. He called it mcload 1.0 (a loader!) http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=8627 http://mc.pp.se/ps3/mcload_1.0.zip http://mc.pp.se/ps3/mcload.xhtml (save locally and rename .xhtml into .html so you can read the description, if y...

Interesting! Thanks!

Yes, no more BD-J running from USB media. Your conclusion is correct. Current Sony bosses are silly. They are secretly panicking, seeing PS3 as the third competitor on market. Their solution is to promote PS3 as a game console only. It's then logical (for them) to shut down anything that may make th...

To have the 2.01 pup files may help those between 2.10 and under 2.17 but requires soldering skills to damage a specific area of fw to force it accept the pup files and actually downgrade. At 2.17 and above pup files won't help you. Hardware KNOWS what you will attempt to do and SONY disagrees with ...

Sony has closed RSX access in fw 2.10, remain UNDER that fw version if you dream about programming RSX yourself (if you have luck there should still be some ps3's with fw 2.01 out of the box on shelves in europe for example the 40Gb+uncharted drake fortune+prostreet bundle) At 2.10 or above, you sho...

Thx a lot Paul! Precious data!

Maybe a safety gap?
Allows future firmware update to have otheros bootstrap consumes a bit more? (for black listing or such...)

Mod a ps2 and for the burning method of a bootable .elf check post 'Easy program request...'

thanks for sharing

I can do a ps2 program that displays stuff at 60fps, no more than that. Then if you tell me a LCD will miss half the frames (and thus only show 30fps) then I would be very estonished...

No, it's interesting. One thing I would love to know is how many have decided to keep RSX access open and thus, gave up on all incoming great games (that require fw>2.01, for example, MGS4). Maybe also, how many did purchage 2 ps3's to get the best of the two worlds... (Sony, if you read this, you m...

Ok, I could spend some free time with my macbook and macam. It worked perfectly. The video is insanely smooth and of good quality! The max setting of macam is 30 fps 640x480 it seems. My intel based macbook version is OS-X 10.5.4. The XCode compiler is the one coming with iPhone SDK final version. I...

Thanks. I love "ready to run" sets...
(won't be able to test it though, still lacking free time)

later in the tutorial you see :

append="video=ps3fb:mode:4 rhgb quiet root=LABEL=/"

(instead of 4 put the value that matches the best your configuration)



So just try 37 instead of 4 and see what happens

Sorry I don't have HDMI and I know nothing about it.
So, we are lucky, you will try & error and report the right answer hehe...

ps3-linux\include\asm-powerpc\ps3fb.h

to get ps3-linux, first compile git utility if you don't have it already
then

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-linux.git ./ps3-linux

worked last year, dunno if url still ok.

ppc stands for 'powerpc', the name of the generic family of processors the first part of Cell, the PS3 CPU (the part named PPU or PPE), belongs to. There are other parts named SPU or SPE, but they are for specialists and hide the potential power of the PS3. Anything ported to PS3, almost instantly, ...

Should be. It's free and public stuff, so you should always be able to find a copy somewhere.

Not exactly the answer you expected, but take a look at this :
