And might I also add thanks for posting this, you rock. Final question.. have you used both Ubuntu and Yellow Dog? If so which do you prefer?

I have not used Yellow dog. But from what I have seen. Ubuntu pwns the crap out of it.

Also, sticky this thread?

EDIT: BOTH MY LINKS FOR UBUNTU ARE DEAD
will update though.

DAmwake · 04-10-2009, 09:51 AM

Agreed, this deserves sticky. Consider it done. I will have to get Ubuntu then, I just need to back up all my crap before I do so.

Frey · 04-10-2009, 09:59 AM

Could you update the title to 7.10. I cannot find links for 7.04.

Still looking for a Kboot download link

Edit: found one

Report back if you have any problems please.

Good thread. This indeed can prove useful.

DrinkDog · 04-27-2009, 07:56 AM

...So what're the advantages, what can you emulate?
N64? 8D

As a friendly reminder about Emulation. The emulation of games and software from ROM's is typically an illegal act. The downloading of such ROM files is a copyright infringement. We like to keep away from such things. So please keep to legal uses of other software such as 3rd party software, and the like.

Thanks.

One that I have heard rumored about the internet is a PS2 Emulator that will give the back the backwards compatibility to the PS3.

i was just gonna ask that sniper.
If you do install ubuntu, is it possible to emulate ps2 games on it.??
i have been wondering this for sometime now,
i tried to find info on it and the only thing i got was that i was not possible due to some hardware problem i think.

Frey · 04-28-2009, 04:46 PM

I have never tried.

My PS3 is 80, so I have no need.

Plus, Ubuntu does not work with the 40, So unless you have a 20, there should be no problem.

Just a little reminder, the new 80 gigs have been changed and do not have the backwards compatibility feature. The launch 80 GB PS3s do have the feature, though. I dunno why Sony decided to jack that up...
Neither do the 160 GB ones, actually..so it's a problem for some people.

PS2 chips was main cause of the YLOD in PS3's
