if you watched the hole thing you would know it was to cover up his mac and ip address. i don't know why his ip because i am sure he is behing a nat of somesort shurly doesn't have has ps3 directly connected to the internet.. but none the less thats why those peices of tape are there
To turn the 4 hour conversion process into around 20 seconds depending on the speed of your hard drive/s use MKV2VOB, it's great. It just muxes the MKVs to VOB containers, so it reserves all capabilities perfectly (5.1 AC3 output FTW)
Pong comment from the Engadget is kind of odd. Dreamcast emulation (it works well on the PC) would be great, but Pong already works great in linux =p (with net support, heh small program I wrote to get used to the cell, or rather, ppc64).

So I risk bricking a £300 machine just for pong???
Is there any real benefit to homebrew on a PS3?
James Ollier @ Mar 31st 2008 11:11AM
Yes, an MKV player
aahatimy @ Mar 31st 2008 11:13AM
Hmm I read that wrong. No pong on the PS3 but my opinion still stands. And why is there two black marks on the screen?
cody @ Mar 31st 2008 11:18AM
The black marks cover the IP and MAC adress.
NeoDarkSaver @ Mar 31st 2008 11:19AM
the two marks are to blind out the mac id and ip address.

it's to cover up his MAC and IP address so the world doesn't see it

Homebrew lets you bring stuff to the PS3 that Sony isn't releasing.
The other "advantage" is (typically) you can use bootlegged games on the PS3.

bypass 2GB limit
Vidikron (FU) @ Mar 31st 2008 1:03PM
@Kozzi
FYI, the 2 GB limit is already gone as of the last firmware update.

MKV that would be sweet. It would remove a 4 hr conversion process for me.

Don't be stupid. You need to start at something first... -_-" Pong is just the next step before developing more advanced homebrew.
