Linux on Your PS3 Without OtherOS!

PSgroove writes: "marcan has updated his blog with the latest information regarding his AsBestOS project. He’s been attempting to get linux running on the PS3 via the jailbreak exploit. Well it seems he has finally achieved just that. He has now effectively replaced the entire GameOS with a linux kernel. It seems we will no longer need OtherOS to get our linux fix! Video below, complete announcement after the jump."

Nice for the 12 people in the world who use it.

they never learn *facepalm*

MNicholas5644d ago

pretty excited. Getting rid of otherOS was a big blow to many projects that had planned on purchasing PS3s to exploit the Cell processor.

Let's see now if those hypocrites who were complaining about removal of other OS will actually give a damn about this

Baka-akaB5645d ago (Edited 5645d ago )

of course they do , it will allow them to pretend they dont need the jailbreak for games

mrv3215645d ago

I don't get what the big deal was.

People complained that Linux on PS3 is useless, but when Sony removes it then it's important... despite the fact any PC can pretty much run linux... computer in Minecraft will soon run linux.

Here's a fact.

Only console which had Linux? PS3.
Only console without a web browser ( incuding dreamcast, iphone, dsi etc )? 360

Sony removes feature no other console has... how come that a big deal?

kasasensei5645d ago

Of course there is no web browser for the 360! How can you charge people for stupids facebok/twitr apps if you do so?

mrv3215645d ago

The web browser would be gold only.... of course because of erm the erm server.. JUST PAY!

Alos it'd be depressing to see the amount of people using google over bing on a 360.

the thing with linux on PS3 is that you can use the CELL processing power to do lot of calculations.

Baka-akaB5644d ago

@mrv321

Ps2 , dreamcast and even the ps1 had linux ...

awesome!

Get your hacking engines ready!

commodore645645d ago

yeah... the jailbreak thing had become very quiet, until now.

I guess the PS3 hacking floodgates REALLY are opened now.

saoco5645d ago

It's because of the fucking hackers that linux got erased in the first place. fuck hackers and their supporters.

SEGA Believes Not Catering to ‘Western Tastes’ Helped Sonic Music Go Global

In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.

I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.

Eonjay2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.

shinXseijuro2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “

Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.

Profchaos2d ago

The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson

But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free

drizzom2d ago

Please. Doesn't hold a candle to Chemical Plant Zone.

Stopac2d ago

Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.

NotoriousWhiz2d ago

Inspiration and trend chasing are not the same thing.

Eonjay2d ago

I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

Authentic japanese spirit is the right path

Yet another "article" based on a copium post from reddit...

jznrpg11d ago

Seems a bit late but you never know. Lies of P got a dlc way later

MayorPauline11d ago

I don't see Capcom revisiting the game outside of a Switch 2 port. It under-performed and generally when that happens any potential future content goes bye-bye.
