Emulation and Linux Gaming on the PS3

Do you think XP would run smooth on the PS3?

Have you had ANY luck at all with diablo2 running on the PS3? - Could it be the OS you used?

I got the Java plugin working for firefox but what I want to do is to be able to run Java apps from the YDL 6.1 desktop.

Hello billb:
Sorry for my poor english, but i don’t control your Lenguage.
My Nickname is Piollotorm and I’ve use your install guide to compile SDLMame that you posted in http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/bodega/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=sdl+mame#p28. It’s very good.
I’ve translate (freely) to spanish by petition of one user forum (www.elotrolado.net). I´m a simply user.
I tell you if you don’t want to make it public and you want i erase it.
A lot of thanks.

Hey bill, I am having some issues. Now I am pretty much a noob to YDL in general, but here is the issue I am having. I went to do this sudo revisited stuff, and it kept saying sudoers was a read only file and wouldn’t let me change it or anything, even in root. So I made a new file, copying all the content of the original, then named it sudoers, and erased the old one (probably a stupid move lol) but now I get this error when I try to enter sudo, it says “sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0644, should be 0440″ and it doesn’t allow me to enter sudo. Is there a way to fix this? or am I screwed? Again, I’m new to this stuff so all help you can afford would be appreciated! Thanks!

Any chance you could attempt to run Grim Fandango using this method? Running that would be my only real reason for going through this process and I don’t want to bother if it won’t work. Thanks.

What difference is necessary for run on Linux on PS3 ?

Hey Billb , I’ve been using ydl for about a year. Still no good at running outside gui. Since 6.1 I can’t find any p2p programs that work. Will never get Usenext on this thing due to the mono issue., but do you know of anything?

billb, do you know if anyone tried compiling snes9x with IBM’s Cell xlc compiler (aka Octopiler)? I am curious to see if the emulator can be enhanced with xlc’s automated SPE offloading.

I was thinking of taking a shot at this myself, but I wanted to check here first.

Hey billb. I’ve installed YDL 6.1 on my PS3 and then updated it with as much stuff as I can get my hands on (via yum). I’ve also installed the port of VLC and I’m able to play movies and mp3 fils quite sucessfully. What I am having a problem with is sound (and video) in Firefox. At this point I’m unsure what to do–I’ve had a look at the the available plug-ins, but none of them, seems to have anything to do with sound. Any ideas what I can do to get this part working?

You know what that means - pumpkin guts. They’re gooey, they smell a bit funny, and they’re an easy way to quadruple the weight of your garbage can.

Stickiness aside, what CAN you do with pumpkin guts?

I’m due to inherit shortly a PowerPC based Mac (well at least I think it is as I’m sure it’s over a year old) and I was wondering what my hope of running games on it might be.

I would idealy like to run Ubuntu on it as I like it as an OS. It looks like I wont be able to run games using Wine, are there any other options?

Yes that’s exactly how you would do it. However most software has been written to make use of the environment variables so that files can be stored in the users home folder such as save games etc. If you go to the terminal and type set you can see the entire list of environment variables for the current user.

Have you got the fluendo mp3 codec installed? that should get sound working in firefox but videos (youtube etc im guessing follow the sfwdec tut on http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3712&start=120&st=0&sk=t&sd=a, sorry if this isnt allowed on forum rules but im new to ydl net :-/

Do certain emulators work better than others for various systems?

i.e. For Genesis, does XE work better than sdlmess? For 2600 does stella work better than sdlmess (not listed but I saw in a post that it does work)? Does the order the emulator is listed (when multiple emulators are listed) indicate a preference?

Basically is there a way to tell which emulator is the best to use for each system on the PS3?

PS: I couldn’t type in the anti-spam word on Chrome, it wont let me type in that box (it goes back to the website box).

can anybody try fallout 1 & 2 on qemu?because i really want to know if it works, specially fallout 2…
