Is there any real benefit to homebrew on a PS3?]]>Mar 31st 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
The other "advantage" is (typically) you can use bootlegged games on the PS3.

Not that I have the talent to do it either. But, I'm not impressed yet.

That's all. I'm hopeful that they will get further. However, considering how central the PS3 has become, I don't see myself messing too much with it within the PS3 OS. Fortunately enough, the PS3 handles Linux too, so that may be the ideal route for any talented programmers to take.

And videos like these make me sick! they're Always shaking and making it unclear to the viewers; making the whole thing seem like another Hoax!.

Tip: get a tripod or put your camera on a flat stable surface, stop filming your findings with your UNIT! ]]>Mar 31st 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQQcHz7h5M

So far 6 distros have been proven to work flawless on a PS3, so this serves no purpose. In fact there is an option in the menu of the default OS called, "Install second OS." that sets up the partition and dual boot system for you.

P.S. Linux OS as second boot plays....well everything, but Blu-ray. And if you legally own a PS 1 game that doesn't work on your PS3, an Enulator will get the job done.]]>Mar 31st 2008 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
You obviously have very limited knowledge of software development if you think that "the needed changed because it would be running on a different hardware platform" is a small thing. Sony wrote a whole new OS for the PS3, and made it look like the PSP system. They have different rendering pipelines, threading capabilities, network and audio stacks, I/O subsystems... the list goes on.]]>Mar 31st 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
Actually XMB first came from the PSX. I'm glad that something good came from PSX because aside from the sublime XMB, the PSX was a disappointing failure.]]>Mar 31st 2008 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
In the end YellowDog Linux was suppose to be the PS3's OS, and will access all the hardware just fine. Sony changed their mind about using it very late in development because the wanted something "more familiar to their users"

And this homebrew is still pointless, no one seems to disput that. lol]]>Mar 31st 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Apr 1st 2008 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Apr 1st 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
Yes, you can dump a Blu-Ray disk(disc?) using Linux or through a homebrew application, but they can be anywhere up to 50Gb, making downloading and burning games impractical. Dumping them to the PS3 HDD or an external drive is somewhat useful, but not much.

Yes, I know Homebrew != piracy, but that's usually what its used for, like it or not (see PSP, PS2, Xbox, GC, Wii....etc)]]>Mar 31st 2008 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/Mar 31st 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/ps3-homebrew-hack-found-hello-world/
You can use 3.5" drives on the PS3, supposedly, at least.
