Do this, now:
The result: an awesome PS3 experience. At least that’s the plan. The software is beta so you may encounter strange behaviour or non-working functions. I’ll report back later with an update.
Megabox acts as a full-fledged media server with plenty of extra goodies. Software, including Firefox, emulators, P2P, VoIP, games, etc… Launch PS3 games (blu-rays, not ISOs) directly from the menu. Megabox is also compatible with a variety of TV USB devices. Radio/TV Internet streaming is supported, recording shows, etc… You name it. It’s quite impressive. Unfortunately HDMI out is not [yet] functional.

FIRST! great! finaly somthing!
can we see this confirmed with a video or something?
What?? How is it possible to play PS3 games from linux???
it doesn’t. it reboots–im sure. i’ll be trying it shortly.
well, yeah, thats what i was expecting. Is it possible that it changes the BD auto start setting then reboots to the ps3 firmware?
every fucking site ive seen this posted on has the same redundant double-pasted shit.
Does ANYBODY clean shit up before they just cut and paste anymore?
Fucking cretins.
What, no HDMI yet… guess I’ll have to dig out some old cables…..
so can this boot burned blueray discs?
I think I will wait till ther’s HDMI cus I dont want to set my HDTV options everytime I boot this.Anyway,is graet news somebody is working hard to give ”HOMEBREWS PROGRAMS” on PS3
Yea same, this is awesome, i heard the word emulator!!!
Woah “Emulation of games of almost all the platforms.” Finally i can use my ps3 for that, see this is something finally our community is moving forward! ^_^b
See now if only the interface looked like the XMB then we could use it as a designed PS3 OS xD
Also soli, it clearly says there it doesn’t…or atleast not now since its says theres a future possibility.
Finally, some advance in PS3 homebrew, more coming up, watch out!!! Great job, keep it up…
WOW someone rolled together a linux distro. LAME!
It’s pretty cool for those people that don’t want to fool around with a distro. Simple enough for anyone to use… even you LAME :D
so how do you go about running emulators?
Alright, glad to see some stuff coming out the pipe. Hope this is the first of more to come.
ARE YOU F**KING serious !!@!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG
Doy uo have to format the Hard drive?
i can’t get it to work. it just freezes when i try to boot megabox
Same…. 60GB composite cables 720p and 1080i I get the the main boot screen with the CD and the Hard drive click 2 or 3 on keyboard and nothing happens.
dude, 720p is HD. it wont work as far as i know, only standard def. BTW i dont know how you getting 720p on composite cable :O
i think he means component, and i’m having the same problem
sorry I do mean componet.
From what I understand this should support HD just not HDMI.
component = SD, not HD.
Component = SD + Analog HD. At least try to do some research before you make an ass of yourself.
It is called a d terminal cable
i have the same problem. does anyone know whats wrong
hm, good stuff. i wanna know how it records tv. if the ps3 could do that, it would be the ultimate media center (to me)
Great work juss gotta wait 4 more info comes out
Team ICE (Along with StreetskaterFU) has exclusively shared with PS3Hax.net of what all PS3 hackers have been hoping for. After a long journey there finally is a glimpse of hope of a hacking the PS3. Team ICE has found a method run SELF files in GameOS (on firmware 2.10!). In other words they have found a way to run an unsigned code on the RETAIL PS3 via RFOM exploit on the latest firmware.
i have loaded the boot menu. but how do i get back to the ps3 menu.
help!!
turn on the ps3 while pressing on the button for around 5 seconds or so, till it beeps again.
Yes! Finally…
Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated and enjoyed by all PS3 gamers all over the world.
Even Sony itself, I guess.
Now we can talk Console Wars.
I’ve successfully loaded the menu but it doen’t have any options, I can only quit back to PS3 system. WTF? Off.site says smth like it can’t find any boot options and smth like that. Downloaded otheros.bld, didn’t use the actual building soft. Pls help wanna try it out like hell =)
*sob* ..man I promised my self i wouldnt get emotional this day. =*O xD
Aint this something, nice find Mentality, that should be in the homepage.
i had to wait about 5 mins for it to load the screen then when i try booting megabox by pressing O it says booting megabox then freezes :S
impressive i would say. even though no iso loader has been out, people should at least try these things to make themselves happy. ps3 is a big entertainment system, now it the ps3 eye, it will be cool to have some homebrew for it, i guess wat programmers can do nowaday is to come up with a OS to install on the ps3 and we are all set to play iso games some day. good work
k got it to load the other os
but when the disc finally popped up
the only thing it did was boot to the ps3 os
did i do something wrong?
i did the above steps but when i press O to run the disc it just stayes on Booting and Megabox never shows up =”(
HOLY FUKIN SHIT…. HOMEBREW ARE ON THE WAT
WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT
booting megabox…..
I like many others can’t get megabox to load
it just sits there and hangs…
anyone get it working as of yet?
i tried to boot from CD-R n’ DVD-R, HDMI(720p) n’ AV, PS3 Controller (no keyboard)
still hangs…
please help =”(
booting megabox….nothing happens - freezes - other’s I see are having the same problem…Can anyone who got it working please help us…what settings are you using, please post some details!! thanks in advance!! i have tried all options…cd-r, dvd-r, both dvd/cd-rw mem stick, basic ps3 settings, etc….please help to get this working, thanks in advance for helping everyone to 0wn their ps3!!! from info docs sounds like a big step forward for p3s developement!!! w000T~!!
another wonderful developement here…
http://ps3.qj.net/Possible-RFOM-exploit-to-run-unsigned-code-on-PS3-FW-2-10/pg/49/aid/111946/act/success
after posting the link for the other homebrew developement I quickly thought, this is firmware / update dependant - thinking $ony will have this patched in the next few days :(
as well this maybe false and not even worth looking at - as the final result is a blank screen - proven to be false!!
Well back to my hopes of megabox!!!! please help yall :)
good work! just a little more…
Hey my friend used this kind of thing and managed to load an iso for a ps2 game of a memory stick anyone no how to do this ?
I installed this os and burned the disk, i cannot use my sixaxis controler in the menu. do I need to have a usb keyboard?
you have to ahve the controller hooked up to the ps3 with a usb cable for it work, and it works with a mouse to
ok thx.. igot that to work now, except now it just says booting megabox and then it freezes and doesnt do anything after that.. i tried reburning the iso and also tried to burn it on a dvd. anything on that?
I had the same problem, it just says booting megabox… and doesnt change, its disappointing really
i saw a video on youtube of some guy doing it
does it have anything to do with the linux version?
ok for the people having megabox booting…but loads nothing and freezes the system - I am in the same boat, it is sad :( This looks very promising!!
I have noticed - I assume you all can get to the petiteloader boot screen and have the cd-r or dvd-r show up on the menu then go to boot by pressing 0…and nothing happens….I have noticed that the directory - path it reffers to is different then the one on the official megabox website in the install pics….refer to http://www.megalandia.com/megabox-tv/foro/viewtopic.php?t=174 to see pictures of the install ad the actual path it should be installing to - look half way down the page for the correct path ? If somone can edit the iso to point to the proper paths needed then the problem maybe solved and we can boot - please test asap to see if this maybe the problem!! - i have no time now or I would - good luck - post back yall have a good one :)
also people having problems booting megabox….have you made or have a partition for a LINUX SWAP partition ??? - maybe 10gb is good?….I have to much to lose in a format to see if this is the problem…..Another user did comfirm this was his problem though….he tried to boot off the live cd and no boot - after making a SWAP and load megabox it booted!!! :) plese someone also try with this method as it maybe the solution…post with your resluts please and thanks and lets get this b%^$ going! whOoo!!!
To create a SWAP, you need a LINUX LIVECD and from the console you can create it with a tutorial of the hundreds that exist on google or from common sense ;)
Okay, I formatted leaving 10gigs for otheros. However, when I go to boot to otheros “without installing petit”, it goes to my partially loaded linux that I already had on there…
How do I wipe out the system entirely?
then I can just install peitit, run megabox and have fun.
I have tried formatting the harddrive and allotting 10GB for otheros. Still no result. I get freezing while lauching Megabox in PetitBoot. I feel a lot of potential though. Keep up the good work.
i allready have yellowdog installed inside,and i read somewhere that Fw 2.10 cant boot otherOs so i didn’t try it yet.can someone confirm thet linux is working on 2.10 Fw?if you cant return from otherOs(linux) to Ps3Os will b a problem.
i got petitboot running from fw 2.1. and i can get back to the GameOs by pressing Del on my usb keyboard while in petitboot.
however, my ps3 just freezes when i try to run megabox
there is always a way to get back to ps3os.
when you turn on the power, keep pressing down on the power pad, constantly, until it boots to ps3os.
all in the name of progress good job
cant get it to work does somebody know what to do dont gat past megabox booting
cant get it to work does somebody know what to do dont gat past megabox booting help

hi there,
i’m going thrue web sites and i cant get a easy anwser for my question: can i download games (torrent or any other p2p) and run them on ps3 ? what i need to do to run downloaded games for ps2 on my ps3 ?
thanks for your anwser
Yes just download the other petitboot and KABLAZZER it works ;)
Looked up that KABLAZZER, didn’t find anything…
do you have anymore info?
Thx
any links to tutorials ?
I think this is good, but probably like Sony, I’m a little paranoid that this will eventually lead to pirating ps3 games. As easily as it can be done on the psp. That is my (and probably sony’s) worst fear. If you promise to not let that happen I will support this as much as I can
Hmm, is there a possiblity that this could lead to launching region locked PS1 and/or PS2 games? I’m in the UK but have a HK PS3 so the lack of backwards compatibilty is a bit annoying for me, if this could potentially offer a solution that’d be awesome.
what firmware is this compatible for?
so is it safe to say that this doesnt work
can some one upload the other petitboot carn’t seem 2 get on the ps3hax site
HELP ME! I have No USB KeyBoard and I CAnt Get back to the PS3 MENU :( :( It loads up on MegaBox all the time PLEASE HELP
Hold the standby button down for five seconds that will boot it up into ps3 mode
great…so Megabox sucks Mega Cox….has NOONE been able to get this thing running yet?
Well, it looks like a few people can, however, I cannot. Just like most people, it freezes when loading.
I did find another megabox iso to burn, and it opened up a few different directories when I went to load meagbox.
It had megabox 1,2,3,4,5,6,7….. Nothing worked though.
got it from a link in one of these comments, think it was DJM’s gameblews or whatever link.
GL
Why would any1 release this thing if it doesnt cum with proper instrustions or doesnt work right?
Here is my action:
http://www.stream.cz/video/6/32402-ps3-megabox
