I am not sure this is wholly accurate or can really be classed as news or anything "view-worthy".

Fake Video. Xp doe not run that Fast on the PS3 unless its a hacked console. Also the video never shows the User using a alternate OS and skips right to Windows XP.

Perhaps the story submitter should try installing starcraft (PC) for linnux using Yellowdog then record that.

*HINT, 1000 degree HINT*

Xeikon6746d ago

Star Craft on the PS3 would indeed be big news.

Correct me if im wrong, but as of yet, Yellow Dog doesnt support the RSX right?

Bebedora6746d ago

No version of linux can support the RSX. Something called the hypervisor (we that is) controls the access and locks out 'OtherOS' to use it. Attempts was made and great progress was made to access the RSX. Last firmware update locked it out again.

So, no. Windows XP will not run on a PS3. Where shall you download drivers for the motherboard, nVidia drivers, audio drivers and directX to it? I just cannot see that happening - Ever.

sa739176746d ago

Nothing to stop you downloading vmware for linux and then installing windows inside that????

Bebedora6746d ago (Edited 6746d ago )

Thanks for the laugh.

Try do vmWare install on a Linux/PS3 and come back to me on how that turned out.

tatical6746d ago (Edited 6746d ago )

Windows XP can only run on Intel processors, the PS3 uses a PowerPC based Cell processor. Linux can run on any type of processor, there are different versions of Linux for different types of processors.

If you try to install a PC version of Linux on the PS3 it won't work because they're incompatible. You'll need a PowerPC or PS3 version for the PS3.

The only way the PS3 can run Windows XP:
1. Install Linux on the PS3
2. Install Virtual PC (or similar program) for Linux
3. Install Windows XP onto Virtual PC

With Linux running Virtual PC, Windows XP will be running in a window itself (but it can go full screen if you want). Virtual PC translates the PowerPC processor into an Intel processor for Windows XP. This "translation" uses up speed from the PS3, so Windows XP may seem sluggish because it has no direct access to the processor.

That is all well and good but the video is 1 year old! How on earth did an old video like that get approved?

EDIT: Woops, my bad, I saw the words one year ago prominently at the top and my mind filled in the blanks.

Don't I look and feel a fool.

jpod6746d ago

also, his comment said it's not available yet. i can say it's possible cuz console hackers can do a lot of wonderful things. just gotta wait if he releases or not, or a confirmation to be fake. i have a little doubt in me too.

QuietStorm6746d ago

I thinks its bull... But if this turns out to be real, I want in. I may have to put up my 360 for good.

Tru_Blu6746d ago

LOL, the laptop I type on now is 2 years old. 2Ghz 512 Ram and A RadionGPU. XP will run for a while before it gets bogged down and quits. Nothing like trying to tell the M$ hindu, "My sh1t got slow so I'm redoing it." You get Click Click, clackity clack on the phone. Hey an Idea M$, use someone who can speak English for once. Oh wait that cost money, all M$ does is leech cash, my bad.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle75d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7774d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde81d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy82d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12581d ago (Edited 81d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga83d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199282d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga82d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman82d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger82d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box83d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion82d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7283d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7583d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit83d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14983d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7783d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
