depends on what distro you pick. For yellow dog linux you need a DVD-R. That is the distro I am using in the video. Other distros can fit onto a cd-r e.g. ubuntu. As for speed, the hard drive size is inconsequential to that aspect.
I press alt+shift+1 usually i would only have to press it twice on the keyboard to configure. but it takes like 90 presses on my ds3 to configure i just gave up. something to do with ds3 being pressure senitive and all buttons being on axes. Any advice with that I wanna play metroid fusion with my controller.
the config file that you placed in the .mednafen folder already has the ds3 configuration by default. you may have messed it up by trying to configure it again. If it does not work by default replace the config file.
Hey, thanks u were right, it worked great. But still i'd like to know how to configure it myself. I guess i'll have to mess with the config file for that right? Can you point me to a tutorial on how to do it. Thanks for all ur help btw that guide of yours is awesome.
Its a bit of a pain but yes since I couldnt get the in emulator controller config to work I had to edit the config file. You can open the config file with gedit then scroll down untill you find the input for the emulator you are looking to change. associate the long code for its respective button and mix it up as you desire.
I followed your guide exactly and installed the snes emulator and i was able to get my ds3 controller working but mednafen is a pain in the ass. The mednafen folder thats supposed to be in the home folder is nowhere to be found even after i click show hidden files. i downloaded the mednafen.cfg file but it's just on my desktop doing nothing since there is nowhere to put it. please help this is so annoying. Everything else on your guide worked fine for me except mednafen.
I figured out why it wasn't running. I needed to log in as root :
su -
password:
i was installing it by just logging in as:
su
password:
my big problem now is launching games through the terminal. It won't load them for shit. Only way I could roms to run is by right clicking and typing in "open with mednafen"
Metroid fusion seems to work flawlessly with sound and all but configuring my bluetooth ds3 is a problem.
well if i could install all this i be the happyes guy ever!! but the sad thing is when i install umbatu then i probaly muct config all the emus and not only that i must learn how to use a linux based software...
just wondering is ubuntu linux alryt for this 2 use? and also could i use one of those keyboards that attaches to my controller or do i need a proper computer keyboard????
mednafen has no front end and entirely command based. To run the emulator type mednafen in the terminal then type the rom path or drag and drop the rom into the terminal. In the video you see I do the later.
yeh i know how 2 do that but does it imediately go 2 the xmb as the default or do you need 2 type sumthin on the keyboard everytime? and also have you found any bad things about having linux on there when playing games on the ps3 or is it pretty good and you reccomend it coz you get all the old snes games?
when youve turned ur ps3 on after being in the linux part does it go back 2 xmb straight away or you need 2 type boot game os? then after that do you do that everytime you turn the ps3 back on?
good cuz i only have dualshock 3... I read on the site that they said it's pre-installed on PS3s made after november 2008. Is this true? I have one, i got it shortly before x-mas, and now i'm wondering if I've got that OS. I haven't played around yet.
Also did you have to do any tweaking to the graphics in the emulators?
Hi just installed this, I got it to the open the game but the problem is how do I do I select options during the game. I can't go anywere from the main menu. What are the keyboard controles?
linux does not replace the the game os, once installed its an additional option that you can boot if you so chose. So yes, you can switch back and forth between the two. See my video ps3 and linux coexisting.
of course it fucking touch the cross media bar. windows has a gui os x and linux have a gui. a gui is only a way of reading shit off an os the xmb is an os. linux has a cli (command line interface) that can do alot more than it's gui thats why i put the i know linux cant touch the xmb becasue the xmb is installed on an eprom on the ps3's mobo it is encrypted it cant be touched by virtualy anything
I would say yes, had sony given full access to the hardware in linux. But when you install linux on your ps3 it operates under a hypervisor which limits your access to the hardware. One important aspect that is restricted is the RSX, with out that you cant run wow.
I havent tried to play any mkv files. though flv's, divix, avi and many other formats run just fine. You can play some old 3d games like Quake 2 and Duke Nukem 3D but with out access to the RSX in Linux your options are limited with 3d games.
look at the guide in the description for an iso. No gametap will not run, however you can run a good number of games available on gametap for free using emulators displayed in my videos.
