However this was simply so we can make things like ps3vram driver some day.
perhaps a GPU vga framebuffer or something that doesnt use 9MB of XDR ram
Where do you publish your work?

it is not dead.. working on new more "mature" approach to scaling and csc atm.. What's the best way to keep up with your development progress, other than monitoring IRC 24x7? I can't help program it, but I'd like to keep up with it, testing with bug reports if welcome. I'm running Ubuntu ...

I am going to assume that mattruby is correct and that this project is dead? It's a shame if it is seeing as how xbmc is running on linux and if it could be ported to use all spu's then the ps3 could be a real viable media hub. Actually, I heard from one of the developers in email that they hang ou...

Is This Project Alive?

I've been tracking this spu-medialib project , especially forum posts by unsolo. But most of the links to the project's pages are now dead, and though this forum is still up, the last post was 4/14/08, including one that day by unsolo, and the PS3 dev forum 's spu-medialib (and othe SPE) topics are ...

You can't piggyback BGA chips, so unfortunately that trick won't work very easily.. Plus, DRAM (and particularly XDR) is more complicated than SRAM, it's not just a simple "write an address and read the data". Is the PS3 XDR controller chip able to address more than the 4 chips soldered t...

Is there anything in the hardware stopping someone from say, desoldering the RAM (hot air?) and then using the toaster oven reflow method to put larger capacity chips on there? In the 1980s, we used to expand Apple ][+ RAM (and some other 6502 PCs) by just piggybacking extra RAM chips right onto th...

Hi newbie here. Perhaps something like this (http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/thumbraid_1) would be in order... What about making the PS3 Linux boot from a network drive over the 1Gbps ethernet (which wouldn't be a lot slower than the SATA), and then replacing the SATA drive with an i-RAM with 4GB...

Any note on the status of the SPU drivers (X, MPlayer), and maybe a projected delivery date? And any discussion of what exactly people could help you with? Have you considered opening your project, maybe on SourceForge or just someone's SVN, even if you remain the sole committer? How about checking...
