ps3 otheros question
I just had an idea but I'm not sure if it would work
just thought I'd put it out here
The ps3 allows for installation for other operating systems
and the Ps3 blu-ray player can run dvd's as well.
could it be possible to install the xbox360 firmware
an another os?

Re: ps3 otheros question
NO
the OtherOS relly just LINUX type OSes
and
xbox360 firmware CANT run on the PS3
an OS is NOT the same as firmware
firmware is for hardware

Re: ps3 otheros question
only linux?
what about installing ubuntu then installing xp through that?
It's off topic but it's possible right?

Re: ps3 otheros question
2 systems, both PowerPC instruction set, different memory maps and BIOS->DRM configurations, and different chip interfaces.
OtherOS runs only Linux because windows has never had RISC support outside the CE platform, and Sony/IBM/Toshiba didn't go to anyone else and provide house engineers and kernel code for the hyper visor interface. It was actually smart on their part, because it officially isn't socially acceptable to attack the PS3 because it runs Linux; reminds me of another vector of IT security....
