PS3 Hacking Has Begun - TechAmok
PS3 Hacking Has Begun - [gaming] 07:41 AM EST - Nov,26 2006 - post a comment Believe it or not,
people have already figured out ways to make backup copies of their PS3
games:
Console hacking enthusiasts have already taken the first steps towards making
the PS3 backup friendly, installing LINUX and using it to dump a 7.08GB ISO file
from Madden 07 onto an external hard drive. Pool Boy over at
PS3News points out that
this is exactly how the PSP backup scene got started, and that the PS3 file
structure closely resembles the one used in PlayStation Portable games.
In the same forum post he mentions a new AdvanceMAME binary for the PS3 that
allows the system to emulate arcade games through Linux, and links to a tutorial
on how to install a 750GB hard drive into the console.
It's kinda funny. This is the most excitement I've seen anyone drum up for the
PS3 since the system launch. There might not be much in the way of new games
coming out for a few months, but the potential for the system as a set top Linux
box is quite intriguing, and an angle I hadn't considered. Now we just have to
see if Sony unleashes regular BIOS upgrades to quash the homebrew scene like
they've done on the PSP.
Update:
Gadgetell have posted an article with a 15 minute video of some bright spark
getting Windows XP to run on his PS3 via Linux. |
