Playstation 3 Phat Playing Super Nintendo, Genesis, TG-16, NES, Doom

[johneymute]

hey it would be super cool if it will be possible to convert graphics from whatever emulator into fullhd vector graphics sothat it will even look perfect on a large fullhd screen thus no pixelation.

and to top it off it would be cool if it is also possible to convert the audio from emulators into 24bit true hd audio with 7,1 surround simmulation for a much more dynamical audio experience.

if it will be happen i gonne replace all my old gameconsoles for this!!!!!!!!!

[Stickman1060]

lets see a 360 do this!

[xtremecoasters]

@Stickman1060 360 does all this easily. Just J-Tag your 360 console. 360 actually does all these consoles as well as Nintendo 64, PS1, Xbox 1 etc. This is only showing 8 and 16 bit consoles emulated. Lets see how the PS3 runs N64, xbox 1 etc games before we start the comparisons.

[efaustus9]

@xtremecoasters however unlike j-taging your console this does not require you to void your warranty or make any hardware modifications. This is all done using the other os feature that came factory on all ps3 systems up to firmware 3.15.

[strykah92]

Man Sony need to get off their fucking periods and bring back OS support. Their shit doesn't sell anyway so why in the flying fuck are they worried about hacking/piracy?

[alessandrobrr]

awesome dude.

[i10azns]

I wanna see if Mana works. Maybe Seiken Densetsu 3. I'll probly have to put it on myself to test it.

[brunnex]

i think we can still run emulators using swapmagic 3.6 or higher even with the new update 3.30 right?

[efaustus9]

@brunnex maybe if you have a ps3 with ps2 backwards compatibility.

[Akyla0177]

I can do all of these things on my macbook that's three years old.

[efaustus9]

@Akyla0177 the appeal of this is that opposed to being on your laptop this is hooked up to an HDTV and surround sound in your living room which is a bit more authentic to he original experience and more conducive to having your friends join you in some retro gaming.

[jpsplat]

I bought my PS3 recently and the firmware is way new... too bad

[Darknight1987]

very sad, it's not possible on the slim generation :((

wanna play old snes games :(

[hermetikkbox]

too bad they removed custom os on the phat

[efaustus9]

@hermetikkbox I still have yet to update. I would hate to lose this feature.

[GaryHellewell]

@efaustus9 New games insist that you update, so you're pretty screwed if you want to keep 'OtherOS' and play new releases. They should have never removed it in my opinion.

[cbpie14]

wtf i dont have linex

[PONYboy1up]

wii Emulator?

[drumatic86]

i tried snes9x on ps3@linux but my sound did suck so how you made that ?

[efaustus9]

see guide in the description.

[drumatic86]

i'm using ubuntu not ydl.. maybe audioport is the solution ?

[flameskull70]

can u use the psx emulator?

[playstatioNick]

PS3 already has psx simulator ,,, i mean u can play any ps1 games : )

[flameskull70]

@playstatioNick but i can't use roms.

[playstatioNick]

@flameskull70

yeah i know

[devan14smith]

do you hve to use the keyboard and mouse when you play these? can you use your controller on linux?

[efaustus9]

you can use your dualshock 3 or sixaxis wirelessly. see my other videos.

[LuchoLuchan]

Can i use utorrent and download stuff through it on ydl and ubuntu? and does ydl play hulu and other flash required websites? Thanks i love your videos it makes me happy to know that i could use my ps3 as a regular computer!

[suxatguitar1]

Have you ever tried running a n64 emu?

[efaustus9]

sony lets you install linux on the ps3 but they impose a few restrictions. One of which is a restricted access to the GPU and with out access to the GPU you can forget a playable experience with a n64 emulator.

[xboxmodder02]

oh wow your clever arent you i can run an emulator on linux on my ps3 nothing special the ps3 is crap for emulators anyway since linux on the ps3 doesnt touch the GPU its all run in software using only 1 of the 7 cores of the CELL BB.good luck on the ps3 running an n64 emulator for linux.

[BlackDrumm3rKid]

can i use the sony ps3 keyboard??

[efaustus9]

if its bluetooth then you can only use it after you set up YDL with a usb keyboard and mouse.

[Shqiptario]

can i install YDL on my ps3 40gb version?

thx for answer

[efaustus9]

YES

[InfinitiProject]

What is that clicking sound in the background?

[Romualdpsp]

yellow dog linux 6.2 XE Multi System Emulator working???

[efaustus9]

yes

[crispybacon100]

DOOM BEST FUCKIN GAME EVER!!

[UltraDOG17]

can i download it on my PS3 (the 1 im using)

i like 2 play sum Super Nintendo on my PS3

i dont have a computer

[efaustus9]

if you do not have a computer then you can buy a copy of ydl off ebay for a few bucks. you still need a usb keyboard and mouse however.

[adamrock133]

hey can u run other console emutors like dreamcast and stuff

[efaustus9]

not anything with 3d acceleration beyond starfox. at least not at a playable framerate.

[adamrock133]

ohh ok.. i hope my friend has enough storage devices for his shit that he wants to keep cause he has like 800 rockband songs LOL

[bobmarleypkr]

hmm does this void warrenty or hurt your system in any way? can it be removed? does ydl shorten the life of your system?

[efaustus9]

1st question no its a sony supported feature in the xmb known as otheros. 2nd question yes it can be removed. 3rd question using a system shortens its life span, be it playing games or running linux. If anything, if you use linux in place of gaming (not likely i know) it will extend the life of the system as it is not as intensive as running modern games. less load, less heat, equates to a longer life.

[amari2001]

By Pre-Slim you mean the original systems right? This is pretty neat. I can emulate alot of stuff on my PSP it emulates flawless. And I pretty much already have most of this older systems. I have a 360 now and Im getting a PS3 before Jan.

[videogameobsession]

ps3 rocks :) it seems some of the emulation is a tad off. ie: no laughing skull in devil's crush or music in doom. cool nonetheless.

[DanJohnsonrules]

idk about the snes games, but u dont need an emulator to play sonic 2. All u need is Sonic Mega Collection (or SMC Plus) and a ps3 that can play ps2 games (because it is for ps2). btw, was that Wolfenstein 3D?

[efaustus9]

how about you dont need a ps2 compatible ps3 with the sonic mega collection to play sonic. you can play sonic with any pre-slim ps3 and linux no additional purchases necessary. That solution covers a lot more people. The last game shown is Doom. THough Wolfenstein 3d is also possible.

[DanJohnsonrules]

for that matter, gonig by the newer PS3s (over 80GB), why not just download Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection from the PSN Store? Wolfenstein 3D can also be downloaded. try to trample on that one... lol

[efaustus9]

my method is free and includes any sega genesis or sega cd game you can think of. your method costs $30 dollars and does not include the best sonic game ever, SONIC CD.

[dingo931]

wow talk about a fucking computer/game nerd doing all this shit just to play simple games

[DeCyph3red]

would sony ban your console for doing this?

[efaustus9]

no. linux is a sony supported feature on pre-slim systems.

[DeCyph3red]

i meant would they ban it for using an emulator through linux

[efaustus9]

no they dont bother seeing what you do with the otheros. Further It does not use the playstation network or the xmb so you can be quite confident you will not get banded.

[MuffinMcFluffin]

Can you change the resolution after setting it once? Or the network settings? I'm in a dorm most of the time but I go home for breaks and bring my PS3 with me to a 1080p TV as opposed to a 720p TV here in the dorm, and I'd like to change it whenever possible. Same with the network settings... I use wireless in the dorm but Ethernet at home. Can they be changed afterward?

Also, should I restore my backup data before or after I install Linux? Or does it not matter?

Thanks a bunch.

[efaustus9]

Yes. In fact you can set multiple resolutions options at start up. my guide in the description details the method. I there is no real graphic acceleration so I wouldn't use a resolution higher then 720p. You can switch between wired and wireless internet. restore your data after you install linux.

[ovj4]

one more question? you think you could dl the os to ur ps3 through a memory stick with sufficient memory?

[ovj4]

when you are playing these games, are you using the ps3 constroller or the keyboard and mouse??? Thanks

[efaustus9]

wireless dualshock 3

[pauligii]

do you think you can run half life 1 on it

[efaustus9]

no u can not

[efaustus9]

no you can not

[mrpig286]

Devils Crush! :-D I have to get this working on my PS3 now...

[Davethawave1999]

can i do this on my 80 gb 2 usb port ps3 with no ps2 compatiblity?

[efaustus9]

this works on all versions of the ps3 except the slim.

[camarada911]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! you have to pay for that on 360!!!....still the game sharing will keeps us alive...

[bigbadbosc]

where is the description..lol

[efaustus9]

its the first link in the description. click more info then click the very first link shown.

[bigbadbosc]

hey man where is your guide i skimmed thru but did not see it. if i can pull this off .....

[efaustus9]

1st link in the description.

[Anorchan]

3:48 Wooooooohoooooo!!!

[subtenko]

strangely I never thought about putting emulators with YDL on ps3! Ima do that soon!!

[ilovemaryam08]

can you install linux using a usb drive????

[ilovemaryam08]

yo,

it sounds like you have to use a key board to play. thats wack. is it possible to with a dual shock 3 controller. i know you can use it for the emulators on ubuntu for ps3.

[efaustus9]

I am using a dualshock 3 in the video for all the games except for doom.

[NewElita6]

looks like somebody still in 90-x

[CStarz608]

can this get Double Dragon? and does this also get 2 player?

[efaustus9]

yes and yes

[xcrossx86]

doom O_o

[dylansmall]

wish i could set emulator up on mine but its to hard

[yoonvsaechao]

you dont need to install any other OS on the ps3 to run emulators

just get ulaunch elf for ps3 then you can run emulators off a usb drive

[efaustus9]

sounds like a psp exploit. anyways the xmb emulators got locked out by a firmware update a while back.

[yoonvsaechao]

no, its a homebrew program fir the ps2 but also works on the ps3

you can launch any ps2 homebrew on the ps3

which means...

super fast emulation!!!

hahahahah

star fox runs fast :D

[efaustus9]

that's good for thoughs of us with a ps2 compatible ps3 then. For most of the other ps3 users ps2 homebrew will not work. PSone home brew could possibly work however.

[yoonvsaechao]

yeah, i guess you're right

so i guess you dont have a ps2-ps3?

sucks man :[

[efaustus9]

I do but many do not.

[yoonvsaechao]

well yeah you have a point

you should try the ulaunch then :D

[ilovemaryam08]

hey how do you do this on a usb drive??? PLEASE tell me how.

[yoonvsaechao]

hey!

umm

you have a ps3 right? O.o

[ilovemaryam08]

ya i have a 60 gig ps3, why???

[yoonvsaechao]

ok

it has 4 usb ports, and can run ps2 games right?

[ilovemaryam08]

YA, WHY DO YOU ASK?

[yoonvsaechao]

ummm

you'll need to order something though O.o

[ilovemaryam08]

tell me what do i need to order???????

[yoonvsaechao]

seriously ?

lol wow

ummm

you have to order something called swap magic 3.6 or 3.8 dvd for the ps2

PM me once you get that done

[TiktaalikRoseae]

Hi, I'm grateful for your post. My kind regards and thanks to your work. I have a question about installing Ubuntu vs Yellow Dog. Ubuntu dl is only 700 megs compared to the roughly 3 gig of YDL. For the size is YDL that much better or worth it? Wouldn't it be better to go with Ubuntu or YDL is just a lot more efficient on the PS3? Thanks.

[InfernalApocalypse]

Cool, efaustus. I just have a question, is the ps3 controller supported by those emulators? Is there any way to use third-party controllers via the usb ports on the ps3?

[efaustus9]

yes and yes. The ps3 controller is supported out of the box wired and wireless as well once you configure bluetooth (note: bluetooh does not currently work with ydl 6.2 only 6.1 or lower). You can also use most usb pc controllers. I for instance use a ps2 to usb converter as a second controller.

[dylansmall]

i like the noise in back like keydoard typeing

[Lachlant1984]

Can the PS3 run Ubuntu Linux? Do you need to do any modifications to the system in order to install Linux?

[efaustus9]

yes you can run ubuntu. No this does not require any system modifications. It is a sony supported feature.

[bohemiangrove]

it will ask to make a partition, so will probably delete. so first make a backup via usb

[scooterinnc84]

dude u are the shit at computers. I know my way around computers a little bit, but not nearly as much as you do. U know how to hack into NASA, or anything big. If, so, can you show me how?

[Cactus32]

Does it play Famicom Disc System games?

[Macks101]

is it possible to use a N64 emulator on a PS3?

[masterofmass1]

you lucky bastrad JK

[waterheart95]

can do it on a wii easy

[master9716]

Thats just a Pc emulator you ca hear the keyboard

[efaustus9]

In this video I am using the otheros feature of the ps3. As you might infer the otheros feature lets you install alternate operating systems on your ps3 so that it operates like a pc. In this video I am using the operating system yellow dog linux and the emulator snes9x gtk. I have both a keyboard and mouse for the ps3 but the game play im using a ds3. google ps3 otheros to learn more (or watch my other vids).

[ryougadeka]

Hmm I may as well ask you, I just installed YDL but the picture is kinda shrunken and it needs to be shifted to the left, on windows my graphics card manufaturer lets me do this, how ca I do this on YDL? And do you have any experience with EPSXE on YDL

[moneymeng1988]

can this been done without installing another OS..

[MrEmulation]

yeah i think so, look on google emulator on ps3 without linux.

[moneymeng1988]

i know, you have to burn everything to disc and then use that to play it on the ps3..which i think is dumb..i wanna play it from my harddrive, not by disc swapping..theyre just nes/snes..etc games..not next gen games..so i would prefer to play them from my harddrive like psn downloads

[efaustus9]

once again you do install it to the harddrive there is no disk swapping. You burn yellow dog to a single disk then install it and now you have an operating on the ps3 harddrive. Now you can install apps to it just like your computer there is no disk swamping. The emulators work just like PC emulators.

[moneymeng1988]

i already know that, but like i said i dont wanna install another os into my ps3, especially when it isnt even that great..i hear its really slow and u cant even play pc games on it, so whats the point..im not gonna use it to do homework or surf the net..i'd rather do that with my labtop..and besides i can surf the net just fine with the regular ps3 os..downloading another os just for last gen emulators like nes, snes isnt worth.unless ur tellin me i can play games like shemue1 n 2, i wont do it

[efaustus9]

Quote moneymeng1998: ..I wanna play it from the harddrive not by disk swapping.. This is what you said erroneously and that is specifically what I corrected you on.

[victorisda69king]

not for nothing.. but ur horrible at this game! lol...

Good times though..

5/5

[SuperNesGuidex]

check out my channel for some old SNES gameplay videos... all the classic and the archive is growing

[Papajohn0125]

can you teach me how to do this, what are the commands and shit

[efaustus9]

you will find a guide in the description.

[Gameplayer77]

You cant emulate a PS2 and Newer Systems only PS1 And Older systems no matter how much people try it is impossible.

[senecito]

can u play killer instatinct 1 arcade through mame????'d love to know it

[efaustus9]

its too slow to be playable. snes version works fine though.

[Purkillah2036]

IDBEHOLD: S, V , L , R ...

IDSPISPOPD

IDCLEV + episode number ...

But I prefer make the tour at ultra violence without cheating

Can We play for real with PS3 At DooM 1 ???

!?!?!?

[Arqui3D]

IDDQD IDKFA

[lordghoda]

Also, why dont u use 6.1? is 6.0 better?

already started downloading 6.1 lol.....

srry for all the questions, got to get going on this thing asap.

[efaustus9]

go with 6.1

[lordghoda]

how do u install the rpm files i see for snes and stuff. Are we supposed to dl straight from our ps3 using linux lol, or we put it on a flash drive?

[MiracleKD18]

Doom on PS3?

Sony stole my idea.

It was my idea to make a console which is compatibile with PC games

[SSjJesus]

I'll take the case!

[achraftriforcepower]

No it wasnt... The pc can also be used as a console MiracleKD18

[leeBillington]

you can bind the controller buttons to act like keys on a keyboard... so its possible to use a ps3 contoller on any game, even flash games on the net haha

[HatakeKakashix]

Sonic!\o

[Arkturasbalboa]

I saw you post a picture of you playing Doom on Yellow Dog, can you use your PS3 controller for that?

[123simonresok123]

i look on google i need to click on the scissors and switch to gnome but i have a sdtv plz help me

[123simonresok123]

how do u switch e17 to gnome??

[deg089]

can you use a PS3 controller to play these emulators or do you need a wireless keyboard to use this

[efaustus9]

you need a keyboard and mouse to install and use linux. You can use your ps3 controller for games though.

[chevvok]

does linux have controller support without the use of keyboard and mouse yet for ps3?

also, is wireless still not supported?

[efaustus9]

yes you can use a wireless 6A or DS3. See my other videos where I demo that feature. Wireless works and has worked for some time.

[chevvok]

that's good to hear, thanks. when I'm on my computer i mainly just play classical games anyway.

[BIGDADDYJOHNSON27]

i have a question how do you install yum on ps3 ?

[efaustus9]

yum is available by default if you use yellow dog linux.

[BIGDADDYJOHNSON27]

just wondering because i have version 6.1

[BIGDADDYJOHNSON27]

if yum is available by default then how do you install snes on ps3 ?

[vesh88]

where did you download the super mario kart rom from? every rom site I go to it has no download link coz it's protected with something esa or something like that

[CoBrA2168]

Alright...so what exactly do I need to do this? I got a 60GB PS3 with about 45GB left, should that be enough?

Also, what is "gnome" you speak of? And I heard that with YDL wireless doesn't work? Is that true? Thanks man.

[efaustus9]

you need 10GB of free HD space, a USB keyboard, and a USB mouse. gnome is a desktop manager for linux which is the default for ubuntu. YDL defaults to E17. You can chose from a number of desktop environments. I for instance typically use fluxbox on my ps3 linux install. You heard wrong wireless works with YDL. see my guide in the description for more help.

[CoBrA2168]

Yeah, sorry about asking all of those questions, I noticed most were answered in another video as a FAQ. So installing is pretty simple? I was thinking of downloading a copy of YDL, throwing it on a DVD, and then installing it on my PS3 next week. Is it that simple?

[kitengir]

you can't do this no more right???

[efaustus9]

you sure can.

[Geolan1]

thats a pretty good emulator. Super Mario Cart runs like crap on the psp.

[student908065]

back in the day when racing games were original :)

[XxIxaxxX]

old times :D

[cheat123]

you have a ps3 and your playing old snes games

[efaustus9]

yup when the mood strikes or in between gamefly rentals.

[Randysteele1992]

So fucking what? Games were much better back then,everything is the exact same thing over and over now adays.

[cheat123]

im not saying its bad i still play thoughs games too on the wii

[enriquetnt]

of course he is, im also doing it (not to many truly good ps3 games anyway) and mariokart on snes is still better than 99% of other recing games old or new gen

[illadelph12]

Thanks for the guide. I've ordered some peripherals (keyboard, mouse, 500GB HD, router, etc) and intend on giving your guide a try this week. Can I post questions here if I have any issues?

[xjamanta]

maaan you are bad on maio kart,geez!

[efaustus9]

im in 1st am i not

[flatlandryan]

K i see that you have snes and it runs SUPER smooth....

i have YDL 6.1 and same emulator but it doesnt run as smooth.... what can i do in my settings to make it run faster????

[efaustus9]

1st off are you using snes9x 1.51 GTK or are you using some other iteration of snes9x? That can make quite a difference. See my guide in the description for performance optimizations.

[flatlandryan]

i have the exact same one you have (gtk)

i dunno what "use SPE scaler app" and where to find it...

I also dont know how many multi threaded scaling and filterings I am supposed to use... just 2?... or 3?...

[efaustus9]

In the video I am not using the fscaler but it does help especially if you installed using 1080i/p. Which brings me to the next question, what rez are you running at? In the video I am using 720p. The lower the rez the less the emulator has to work to scale the image. My guide will tell you how to add multiple rez options at kboot. I'll also send you a message regarding where to get fscaler.

[mugenguy5050]

does anyone know if n64 can be used in this?

[efaustus9]

as of right now it can not as there is no graphic acceleration in linux for the ps3.

[emuholic]

it's a shame YDL is too damn slow and crappy to be practical for booting up emulators whenever you feel like a go - can't beat wii for homebrew

[efaustus9]

Its plenty fast and plenty functional. as you can see in this 5 min video I jump between a number of emulators rather quickly. I agree the wii has a good homebrew scene . However unlike the wii homebrew development software development on the ps3 is not limited to the console. you can use a bevvy of applications designed for the linux os. you can put apps on a wii but you can put a whole computer OS on a ps3.

[emuholic]

Try MAME :)

[efaustus9]

I have a video for MAME where I do the same. check it out.

[maxellace]

What version of YDL are you using ?

[efaustus9]

6.0
