I've got problem with pdaXrom-ng-ps3-20090417 otheros loader - when I want to run linux from usb or cd (that Sashz's compilation) ps3 freezes! I want to come back to ps3 os - how to do it? I've tried pressing x but that doesn't work. Help me please! Switch off your PS3. push and continue to hold th...

Any chance of a PS3 controller icon in the bootloader rather than a SNES one? :-)

Use sashz's bootloader, it's like petitboot on speed!!

(there is really no advantage in using that new compression method 99)

I think "compression method 99" is when the unzipper does not understand the zip compression used. I will use legacy zip methods in future.

Did you get the distro booting?

7Zip self extracting 7Zip posted.

Yes, tried it with Winzip 11 SR2 and latest 7Zip from Sourceforge.

I have done a SFX 7Zip file, i'll update the link on my webpage when it's uploaded. If you still have problems, wait for that.

Just checked the file I uploaded:

MD5: e384b5734e6719d98bcf907600ceab69

Winzip should decompress it, as that what compressed it. password is: st0rmbr1nger (which you tried).

Sounds like it may be a corrupted download.

It´s nice to see collaboration from the community, sashz has done a excellent framework and with this new developments, this will surely serve to start up new things. mgillespie, can you share your work? sashz has done an amazing job with this. I have posted my "work" (not really work, mo...

If you are talking about the PS3 game partition, forget it, the partition is encrypted, and only the PS3 that created the partition can read it from within the PS3 OS. Use the backup/restore utility to back the contents to an external drive and restore from that again if you need to change HDD. It c...

Can I assume that because the emulators include is commented out, that it's because there is currently no patch for sdl? UPDATE: Everything compiles, and for the moment, I have included the binary version of SDLMAME in the image, and lo and behold, I can boot PDAXROM and run FIREFOX and SDLMAME (onl...

My problems with lxpanel were caused by missing libtool..

I hope you don't mind, I have added the missing dependancies to the Wiki:

Never managed to fix that problem, seems like a problem with Debian 5. Moved my build to a different PC, that's got Ubuntu on it (64bit), and it sailed past the curl part without any problems... However it's now stuck on lxde-lxpanel... target arch powerpc-linux build arch x86_64-unknown-linux *****...

Still having problems. There are some additional dependancies that need installing: zip, libgtk2.0-dev which Firefox and Xchat fell over on. However now it's complaining at curl.. configure: WARNING: This libcurl built is probably not ABI compatible with previous configure: W...

Hi, fancied building a boot cd with some emulator stuff in, but having trouble. Building on a PC, running Debian in VirtualBox. My first bit of confiusion: sudo ./build-crosstools.sh i686-linux or sudo ./build-crosstools.sh powerpc-linux PS3 is PowerPC, but my build PC is i686. Should I select the c...

Likely to head Gentoo way, because it's far more customisable (and I am more familiar with it), unless you can tell me otherwise..

Being totally hacked off with the onboard PS3 browser, I was thinking, what I need, is a very stripped back Linux, that provides nothing but essential networking/Keyboard/Mouse/X and a single browser support. I want to boot a minimal Linux to a single user X session, which opens Opera web browser (a...

Thanks, thats' working now...

A couple of questions however.

1/ Is this loading the IRX module via the network, or from the local media (CDROM in my case)?

2/ Is there a way to get this module to autoload from my CDROM, (so I don't have to connect using PS2Client and upload/start it?

Thanks.

Forgive the newbie questions, but I am trying to upload/download my game saves from my memory card. My PS2 is chipped, so this removed most of the complexities getting homebrew software to load... I have downloaded PS2Link 1.22 and using CDGEN created a bootable CD. Before burning, I configured the ...
