Coming Soon - The zerogame Project for PS3 Linux

New website: http://www.thezerogameproject.com

EDIT: Skip this and head straight for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3-YUh_2BXo for a full preview!

It's 3am as I'm uploading this... I apologize for the low quality cell phone video, but I wanted to quickly show you what I've been working on.

This is an early beta of what I call the zerogame project. It is a bash script that will take a freshly installed copy of Yellow Dog Linux 6.1 and transform it into an excellent emulation box, complete with a nice frontend, custom frontend backgrounds at 1080p and 720p, Sixaxis/DualShock3 pairing, easy menu-based setup, video previews and more.

So many people have watched my previous videos and have asked so many questions about how to have a similar setup on their PS3s... and after losing two installs that I worked hard to create, I decided to create the script to automate getting it back to the way I had it and to help all of you have the same thing.

What we're seeing in this video here is Wahcade using a custom background loosely based on the Wipeout HD menu system. As you can see, I have Wahcade set up to display title screen images which it then replaces with full-on video previews if they are available.

I expect to release the first version of the script to the public within a month or so. You can subscribe to me here on Youtube or get up-to-date info from me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/zerojay).

So... got any questions? What do you think?

How do you get the preview on each game? I don't get them :S

[zerojayzero]

You have to have them already. You can either make them yourself or download some and change the filenames to match your ROMs. I suggest looking up EmuMovies which is where I got mine from.

can you put the window in the center so that we can zoom our Lcds to make the screen bigger if we want? or is there a fullscreen

[zerojayzero]

The way the scaler program works, it will upscale only to 2x, 3x or 4x... so it won't exactly fit fullscreen on an LCD like that, but yes, you should be able to use your TV's options to take the image and MAKE it fullscreen if you so wish.

I'll be hopefully posting another video tonight.
