Hi sashz, there´s a scaler for mame that makes games look nice on hdtv it takes not impact on performance because its cell accelerated i think.. this is the link if you are interested. http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/bodega/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=100&sid=b4bc32d9b7bea8c7561a10e38177736a&...

Nice update thank you!

As most guessed OtherOs is not being removed on PS3 models before the slim, with firmware 3.0, here´s confirmation directly from developers of the firmware at SCE JAPAN, it includes details of other upgrades etc.. however its in japanese. Google translated link http://translate.google.com.mx/transla...

there´s some sort of extraoficial explanation at ps2 linux forums. I guess that with enough pressure we may see it implemented in the future.. http://playstation2-linux.com/forum/message.php?msg_id=51037 BY: sarahe DATE: 2009-Aug-21 22:23 SUBJECT: RE: Why no Linux in PS3 Slim?

It´s sad, but it´s true... here´s the link, look almost at the end of the article, http://es.playstation.com/games-media/news/articles/detail/item229872/Entertainment-on-PS3-has-a-new-look/ Maybe it could be incorporated back on firmware if theres enough demand for it, or not. Anyway i got 2 ps3, th...

sashz,

i´m glad to see you!, Thank you for this, it´s a nice gift!
will try it now..

YDL 6.2 uses kernel v2.6.29 (64 bit), between other upgrades that boost performance, you can download it now from the public mirrors, this is one location:

This has some time but i had not seen the news here. I hope to try it when it gets released to the public mirrors.. YELLOW DOG LINUX v6.2 OFFERS XFCE, USB INSTALL, EPEL, MORE THAN 600 UPDATES LOVELAND, COLORADO, 29 June 2009 - Fixstars today announced the immediate availability of Yellow Dog Linux v...

Thank you Jim for the reply, i thought the new kernel was needed because they blocked PS3VRAM.

I hope they release in the future a new version with compatibility, or a new ps3vram.

It seems that on 80GB PS3 (Model Number 98015 and later) and the 160GB PS3 (Model Number 900006 and later) you cannot boot the system if you have the PS3VRAM enabled at least on YDL 6.1 What changes in the hardware could cause this? more info http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/update_k...

I have a PS3 US NTSC with FW 1.36, it has YDL 5 installed, i could set it up, to do some tests if anyone wants me to do it, but im not really sharp using linux. The other option is that i could set it up so you can use it via Rdesktop, the problem is that i have no Public IP, if someone knows how to...

Really nice, i can see it coming in the future, a customized linux with a XMB like interface, that lets you access everything emulators, etc, needing only the sixaxis, humm, just daydreaming, thank you for this new release, it´s really appreciated.

Congratulations!, will test it ASAP, thank you--

It´s nice to see collaboration from the community, sashz has done a excellent framework and with this new developments, this will surely serve to start up new things.

mgillespie, can you share your work?

I did try the new version and it works now with YDL, and noticed that it boots to the menu a lot faster, bluez isnt implemented yet, i guess it will come as a loadable module option in next version... Thanks again.

Nice! Im downloading it right now, will use the new features, yaboot parser, bluez, thank you!!

Hi sashz, did you manage to update ps3boot binary? i have been by your site but it seems the same version.

Thank you.

I tried to boot it too, but it didn´t start up..

Indeed the YDL 6.1 dvd uses yaboot.conf, i hope it could be added in the future (i guess petitboot sources could be helpful for this), i will be waiting for your new ps3boot as its very useful, its NICE that you managed to add bluez!
Thank You!!!

Of course! Its not my build it is from a nice guy named Phil, he worked in this sometime ago, now it appears he will find sometime to update it to the latest version, currently with this boot loader, and this live cd, you dont need to partition the internal hdd, and dont need a keyboard or mouse in ...

Hi sashz, thank you for your excelent bootloader, i had successfully booted a live mame cd, i tried to boot the new YDL 6.1 but it doesn´t recognize it, do you know what could be the reason? With the otheros.bld included in the distribution it boots, and also with petitboot, (but petitboot doesnt bo...

Well if you do not believe me, then i guess you can believe terrasoft.. (well actually they were bought by Fixstars and they released this new version) as they posted this: Yellow Dog Linux v6.1 supports: - Sony PS3. - Apple PowerPC G4, G5. - YDL PowerStation. - IBM System p (JS2x, 510, 520, 540).

I think new Yellow Dog Linux has native support for Sixaxis.
