That's fucking sweet. Trying that tonight. Latest version of Ubuntu should install just fine I take it? 32 and 64bit work or just 32?

 

[joinmeindeath417]

You have to get the specific PS3 version as it comes with the correct drivers and stuff, i'd say go with yellow dog it has the biggest support right now and the ps3 version was optimized for the ps3.

But yea do some web searching first man theres different versions and what not to mess around with and tutorials for emulators and stuff too

Any PPC linux will technically work. However, it is best to get a version specifically for the PS3.

That is a very good source of info, especially if ubuntu is what you want to use. As already stated, YellowDog is also a very good version for use on the PS3.

The ps3, Sony has been making video game systems since the launch of the psx (also known as ps1..etc) and they are very good at it i might add, the ps1 destroyed sales for its time, took the life of Sega's Saturn, just did everything right for its time

PSX and PS1 aren't the same. They play the same games and have similar hardware but the PSX was gray with an expansion port on the back while the PX1 was light gray, smaller, and had no expansion port.

Ment it as the first playstation, i put ps1 because sadly some people dont know what psx means. i would've expected to see someone say Playstation 10?!

Sorry for the confusion.

Actually, PSX was never officially a term for the original Playstation. The originaly Playstation was referred to as the PSX by a lot of people, but the officialy abreviation for it was PS1. The smaller version that came out towards the end of it's life cycle was called the PSOne. Also, the larger grey versions had the expansion slot removed in the later revisions of the console, it is believe Sony did this to stop GameShark/Action Replay use, and to stop the use of plug-in mod chips which allowed people to play imported and burnt games.

The fact that the 360 is already pushing and has pushed its limits in games is scary, why else would they concentrate on some motion control shit to keep people "entertained" there running out of options and running out fast. I solely believe that the reason that MGS4 never made its way to the 360 because the system just could NOT handle it.

Because Wii slaughtered Xbox360 and PS3 combined in sales. Judging by the numbers alone, motion sensing is the future of gaming. Sony and Microsoft have scambled to take a page out of the Wii's book. All next generation consoles are expected to mirror the Wii.

MGS4 is PS3 exclusive because Sony made sure Konami wouldn't release it on any other platform. Seeing that MGS4 is really the only great, exclusive game for the PS3, had Sony not brokered a deal with Konami, the PS3 wouldn't have sold near as much as it did.

 

[joinmeindeath417]

i don't know man i still have yet to see a game compared to MGS4 for the 360, and until them i am convinced IN MY OWN HEAD that it's because it couldn't handle it

Why would they be making an entire new engine for the next metal gear if it was possible to port MGS4 to the 360?

hm?

xbox360 and ps3 are near identical in graphical capabilities. Only main difference is the processors used in each and ram etc.

I totally agree. You must be completely blind that I'm posting facts and not really choosing a side. I'm with powerspec. I prefer a mouse and keyboard. I could give two shits less about which is better.

Who cares which is best? THE PC PWNS ALL!

The next metal gear will probably be an exclusive title for PS4 (or whatever next console is). Since it will inevitably include more motion sensing, the old/current MGS engine won't work out very well. Instead of trying to patch it, they are starting from scratch (as they should). Games made from scratch tend to be better overall but cost a lot more to develop. MGS is a gold mine for Konami so they feel it isn't a risk to go big.

yeah but CPU power? i don't want this to get into an argument but i honestly think the cell CPU is what gave them the advantage.

The next metal gear is a ps3,xbox 360 and pc release....

The cell is almost another GPU on top of the RSX. Just in it's architecture. The Cell is more powerful but MGS4 isn't remarkably demanding just looks like any other game to me.

 

[joinmeindeath417]

i don't know man i don't know if it is just me but metal gear wasn't just another game to me it was like watching a cg movie to me especially the cut scenes ha

 

[Nighshalo789]

Whats the point of installing linux on the PS3 anyways?

I never understood the point of it either.

But threads like this should die. Ps3 vs 360, dsl vs cable, Mac vs pc. People usually like one or the other and there are equal amount of people who have there opinions.

Try running Crysis on the PS3.

IBM POWER PC in the Xbox360 is a tri-core, hex-thread processor. PS3 has higher FlOp performance but not necessarily much more than that. Since the GPU usually limits games more than the CPU, the GPU is more important. The Cell processor is pretty much overkill--useless unless you fold on your console.

Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch.

Konami has said that the only way MGS4 wouldn't be PS3 exclusive is if it sold miserably.

It also doesn't matter if its more powerful or not if no one can program for it. Activision is considering dropping the PS3 all together. Not enough base to justify the development cost. That means no more Call of Duty for you!

FYI Im no 360 fan ether. I hate all "next-gen" consoles.

 

[joinmeindeath417]

Try running Crysis on the PS3.

i know the pc is better than both but tell that to developers who are siding with consoles now?

i wouldn't play cod on my ps3, i'd buy it for the 360 first controller is better for that game in my opinion.

PlayStation eXperimental = PS/PSX
Playstation One = PS1/PSone

The PSX was a DVR with PS2 hardware included. It had nothing to do with the original Playstation, other than backwards compatibility with the original playstation games thanks to the PS2 hardware built in. It is known for being the first public use of the XMB.

PS/PS1/PSOne are the only abbreviations that were official. Many referred to the original Playstation as PSX because of the early Playstation eXperimental internal name, but Sony actually repleased a PSX console and never referred to the original Playstation as PSX. It was PS at first, then PS1(for the older style)/PSOne(for the newer style).

Try running Crysis on the PS3.

There really isn't a reason that Crysis couldn't run on a PS3. Graphically, it wouldn't be nearly as nice, but it could run. Console users don't seem to care that the consoles provide worse graphics anyway...

The only "official" abbreviation is "PSone." They can't trademark three letter "words" because they aren't words. They are trademarked under "PlayStation," "PlayStation 2," and "PlayStation 3."
