Title: PS3 Homebrew?
Post by: UPRC on March 22, 2008, 09:20:31 pm

Hey folks. I'm posting this from my PS3 and have a few questions... Does anyone know what the PS3 homebrew scene is like or if there even is one? If there is, what is currently possible, what can be modded, etc? How about emulators and the like? Also can I get IRC on this bad boy?

Install another OS like Linux Yellow Dog. Easiest way to get 'homebrew'

That leaves a few I haven't been able to run successfully:

Atari Jaguar (almost runs in sdlmess -- not fast enough or 100% accurate)
Intellivision (should be working in sdlmess, I think, not sure why not)
Nintendo 64 (if possible would probably require accelerated video)
Nintendo Gamecube (if possible would require accelerated video)
Nintendo DS (desmume might work eventually?)
Sega Saturn (yabause runs very slowly, not playable)

Okay, that sounds pretty great. Is there a tutorial or anything for how to do that, theHunter?
