Custom PS3 operating system in the worksDVDBack23 @ Sep 26, 2010 18:38 | 7 comments
The developer has dubbed the custom OS "PlayOS."
PlayOS is Linux-based, will run on firmware 3.41, and will take 730MB of external HDD since it runs off the Backup Manager.
The OS has a built-in dedicated web browser dubbed "PlayBrowse."
Because of hardware acceleration, the developer says users will be able to playback 1080p .mkv files.
Furthermore, the OS has support for .zip, .tar, .gz, .mp3, .avi, .mp4, and .divx.
It is important to note that you will need a development board, as it won't work with systems jailbroken with a smartphone.

Comment by: KillerBug (Sep 28, 2010 03:16) From the sounds of it, this is just a hacked-up linux distro that is designed to run the same way that games do. There is no reason why this should not be possible...personally, I am desperately waiting for someone to port Yellow Dog or Ubuntu to a "game". I would rather see a true CFW (with OtherOS support), but I know that will probably take a lot longer.

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Sep 28, 2010 11:35) Would it not be cool you boot up the OS and it runs games and is able to multi task while you play a game?
Until lobbying is a hanging offense I choose anarchy!
Ah modern gaming its like modern film only the watering down of fiction and characters is replaced with shallow and watered down mechanics, gimmicks and shiny-er "people". http://zippydsmlee.wordpress.com/ |
