PS3-Hacks.com / questions about YDL and what it can actually do

sonny482 · 2008-07-06 12:21:01

erm..never used linux before and have no idea what it can actually do...besides having YDL on a ps3 im just curious to what can i do if i put ydl on my ps3..ive done some googling and seen emulators around but never came across any that said they worked

can anyone tell me what ydl can actually do? what emulators currently work

i know steam (some may know what steam is) runs on linux..and can be used to make a dedicated server ...does this work with YDL on ps3? also steam working on linux doesnt just support dedicated servers you can run games too? therefore meaning maybe the ps3 can play some steam games?

im just really confused as to what linux can do really...i know steam can run ..no idea if it would work with YDL on ps3..even if it did are games possible? what emulators work ect...

thanks in advance

did do googling but...barly got any answerers and tbh i really dont know what i should be googling to find my anwers...decided id come to a place where i know people know the answers

u might possible be able to use run a steam server but the PS3's Hypervision blocks out RSX(ps3 gpu) access in linux so u wont be playing to many steam games if any at all

HYPERVISOR

You have to be specific, because then he'll ask what Hypervision is, and then you would give the definitaion for the hypervisor, when Hypervision is a few things:

A web design company, Videos, and a Samsung Television....

steam cannot run on linux, without a windows emulation. and Dedicated server can run on linux but not on a ppc linux. If wine does somehow come out with wineppc, then you'd be able to run steam, starcraft, and whatever tickles your fancy.

also can you get decent Game boy and game boy advance emulators on it? And ontop of that can you play pokemon yellow?

I am deadly serious. This is the deciding factor if i get Linux or not...

Over all, 90% of the programs that you would want to run on Linux is blocked by the PS3
This means that the otheros is just a waste of HDD space and you are better off using a pc

you could try it and if you dont like it just re-format your hdd so linux goes off the HDD and doesnt take up space anymore.

i wouldent say that i use my Linux as a very viable way to play games just not in the way your all thinking i stream them from my computer.... i am playing wow on my ps3 now more than on my PC hell even crysis works well enough to want to do it on the nice big tv i have so if you don't mind streaming then this is the way to go

oh and you can stream anything so you could play your pokemon yellow to
