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 people who use it.

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

Blackpool5685d ago

they never learn *facepalm*

MNicholas5684d 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-akaB5685d ago (Edited 5685d ago )

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

mrv3215685d 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?

kasasensei5685d 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?

mrv3215685d 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.

Redempteur5684d ago

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

Baka-akaB5684d ago

@mrv321

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

awesome!

Get your hacking engines ready!

commodore645685d ago

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

I guess the PS3 hacking floodgates REALLY are opened now.

saoco5685d ago

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

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.

solideagle15d 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

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.

DarXyde22d 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.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12522d ago (Edited 22d 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.

Cacabunga24d ago

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

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d 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.

neutralgamer199223d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga23d 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

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d 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.

medman23d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d 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_Box24d 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.

robtion23d 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.

darthv7224d 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.

Agent7524d ago

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

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

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

Lightning7724d 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.
