Kernel patches and documentation for PS3 Linux: Boot any PPC linux distro on your PS3!

The day of the Japanese PS3 launch came and went. And with it, it brought along a ton of news. But you still haven't seen the best bit yet! You see, before Sony even released more info about Yellow Dog Linux for the PS3, Power Developer has already released kernel patches and a bootloader so that you can try out Linux on your PS3.

playing games is just a tacked on feature for the ps3....

I think Sony's new philosophy is to just tear up the damn playbook and start over. All of this free-range applicability's got me feelin' a little giddy (sorry)! Unbuntu --- woo-hoo! But how about Windows Pro!? This is the perfect excuse for me to tell my wife why I need to take the P3 on all business trips instead of the vaio. If only there was a built in printer. heh-heh

Here we go!

Let's start the hacking guys... Enjoy the virusses and trojan horses on your 'gaming' system.

I would buy this machine for installing a OS and playing movies if BR became the standard and play games on my 360 and futured Wii...

That the X360 runs on a modified Win2000 kernel, right?

That Linux is about as popular as a webserver platform as Windows making it a prime target for hackers and virus-coders.

Still the number of Win2000 viruses, trojans and worms are leagues beyond what are in the wild for Linux.

I'd say because of this (in a totally unsubstantiated and unscientific way -- just like you) that an exploit for X360 is far more likely than for the PS3.

In fact, since the standard PS3 OS isn't AFAIK related to Linux, I can't see this in any way opening up for viruses on any PS3 without Linux installed.

I have to ask -- Are you just a MS fanboy passing time slandering your favourite console of hate with unfounded allegations?

If so... why?

Marty83706366d ago

The PS3 has protection on it's chip's to stop viruses/trojan horses etc.Just like the X360 it will be hard to crack.

scriptkiddie6366d ago

I thought the PS3 was a game console

lalaland6366d ago

Which explains why you only see games on the store shelves (atleast for now) and not productivity applications.

It has just a couple of added perks like mediafunctionality, webbrowser and the possibility to install a complete OS if so desired. But games are its main priority and where the PS3 excels.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
