Now to see who will test stuff using 2.17 that's just out.

Splitting hairs perhaps but you can just use the powerswitch at the back unless you want to return to GameOS of course... Not really. Holding down powerbutton when system is off -> return to GameOS with default settings. Holding down powerbutton when system is on -> make hypervisor kill the power t...

>it is very likely that there exists an undocumented hypervisor call which creates the classes we need for accelerated graphics. It is known that games and linux run over the same hypervisor. So we ( probably ) can use all HV functions called by PS3 game SDK. Without restrictions. We might be able ...

That some kernels out there used gpu_mem_alloc( 0 ) is really not Sony's fault. Anyone can put any call to anything anywhere if they so wish. And really, using "0" to any memory allocation function is in my eyes never a good idea to begin with, so the kernels that don't work are simply bu...

I'll try to get that quote for you. First hand is a lot better than second hand I agree. The Sony kernel documentation from 2006-11-10, in "LinuxKernelOverwiew.html", the head states: Linux Kernel Overview Copyright © 2006 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Copyright © 2006 Sony Corp. and be...

One big problem is that Sony said from day one that they would disallow accelerated graphics (read : RSX access) and they haven't said anything to the contrary since then. So it's no surprise that they do this, for me there was never a question of "if", but of "when". That some k...

Well, I took the leap and upgraded my Gutsy + ps3rsx to 2.10. Petitboot came up but failed while attempting to start the X-server. Backing off to fbdev still works with the same old (painful) performance. Needless to say, the rsx is sorely missed. I'm ready to pull down source and start tinkering. ...
