xPreatorianx, need some help ( or anyone else who might know)

Well after that whole trophy fiasco and not wanting to go with new CFW not being able to play my backups on multiman was getting to me. You can only play the old emulators for so long before wanting to play something fresh So last night i bit the bullet and now am a happy memeber of rebug other OS++ ( after having problems with getting reguylar rebug to work without the trophy error i finally got the rebug 3.55.2 otherOS working great Everything is fine now. Didn't lose any of my roms/emulators or back upped game discs. I reinstalled reboot pkg, and boot otheros pkg and my debian install is still there as well. PHEW! load off my back.


Well now reading up on red ribbon it sounds great and really wanted to give it a shot, only i figured since i already did all that "resizing this parttition" and all the other steps we had to do for the original glevand otheros i thought i would just be able to install it along with my debian install i already have, or if worse comes to worse delete it and just have red ribbon. But it looks as if the only way to install it ( or any other linux distro is to go back through all the hopes and redo EVERYHTING again with the reformating the HD, losing emulator saves and the works. Would be so much easier to just be able to install it right over the old linux distros we have on it, but i guess it's not possible? I really don't feel like going through all that again especially since i haven't done it in so long i'm sure it would be a pain in the butt again.

So i guess my main question is is it worth it? man, the ability to use the built in ps3 wifi is really making me want to do it. Still no way to get wireless up and running on the regular debian install we had from a couple months back with the first gitbrew release?

Anyway, sorry for the long post and hope all is well.

Aww I feel all warm and fuzy inside! I've actually got my name in the title!

Anyways down to business, you can't simply create a blank partition while in OtherOS++ on rebug and than install red ribbon? I remember seeing people like Oozic who had 4 distributions on their machine. So it should be possible.

As for whether it's worth it to you or not, in all honesty I haven't used Red ribbon yet as I haven't gotten around to reinstalling OtherOS++. But it does look like a pretty slick OS. If you can't simply setup another partition on your PS3 and install it along side the current distro, I would look to switching over.

I'm not entirely sure if Rebug would allow you to use multiple distro's but I don't see why it shouldn't. All you should have to do is simply follow the instructions to create a new partition but replace the example CUI commands with the newly created partition you made. But I'll look into it tomorrow while I'm installing Ubuntu on my linux box. So hopefully by tomorrow I'll have some more information.

Have you tried manually creating a blank partition and than trying to install a new distro? If so what is the error message?

I got a Pm from ptearion, tried Pming him back but it wouldn't allow it. He also gave me his email and i emailed him so waiting on a reply ( since for some reason the site he said he was going to was "starred out" and i couldn't read it. Thanks Oozic, yea i'm stull usuing vflash method but guess what? the damn trophy error came back again! and i don't know what have those rebug settings do, and which there was a more detialed description somewhere but the other day i got the RSOD from it without even knowing it lol thought it was a bunch of jibberish written in spansih and thought nothing of it. Hopefully it was a glitch as all i had to do was hit the PS button on the controller and i was taken back to xmb. Don't remember what i did to get the RSOD, soemthing with the rebug selector, so now i leave it AS IS. PS3 seems fine though and no problems since.

so unfortunately i'm back on the the regular rebug 3.55.2 and update , as thats the only one working for me without the trophy registration error. No worries, since i know i can always go back and my debain install will always be there.

I may get some fallout for stating this, but here goes anyways. New and juvenile sites want to link their urls to a site as big as psx-scene, but it's not justifiable. They eagerly want traffic at all costs, since they don't know how to truly promote themselves, they try to spam a site like psx-scene with their links--since psx-scene has been established successfully for many years, they do this to hopefully gain more members. It's a power struggle. And it should not be allowed and they should not do it--they should learn to gain members the old fashion way--and that is have productive topics and clean up the dirty tactics and also ridiculous topics.

In the past, I've gotten asked and invited by PM to follow them to these new sites. I go over, I see a replica of forums like this site, but nothing new. Plus some of these sites do something I don't appreciate. They allow them to talk dirt about other sites--its usually from ex-members that were banned from this site--I guess they are hurtful and want nothing more than voice off and retaliate--pretty shallow and childish if you asked me, but it's allowed over there--I guess they think that is how to gain more quality members? If only they knew that truly backfires.

Obviously, it's not a productive goal they have in mind and I would strongly discourage our members to be led by people that have dark "unhelpful" agendas. And that's unfortunate, because some of this guys are pretty talented, too bad that their ego and abrasive personalities gets in the way--if only they showed a bit more matureness and politeness. We all could be a large and united group. And be a very productive scene. But they rather just fight than help us.

So now it's up to us to pick up the slack and continue where they left off. Hopefully some day they see that living in the dark side isn't rewarding and being among several grunting individuals isn't much fun. But if you like that kind of drama, you can go there. But if you like progress, then just stay here at psx-scene.

I checked out that site and it seemed pretty dead at the moment maybe it will pick up. I think a better idea would set up some chat site or if there already is one in the works. This way we can all keep in touch and chat about the latest info. I'm also one for not bashing on other websites, they all want a piece of the pie and need to compete.

I heard that there was issues associated with the current administration and how they have treated ex-members with regards to criticising their methods in dealing with issues associated with the PSX-Scene and certain (legitimate) threads "disappearing" - Mr. GoodFrag was recently being given "the red card" by the current administration of the PSX-Scene because he effectively said that "this forum is going downhill" but the administrators said they're "working on improving the forum", but with increased spam and a reduction in helpful posts, I think it is starting to become more and more evident that the PSX-Scene is starting to go haywire and I hope the forum returns to its former glory

Speaking of spam, here's one example

Where's the moderators who are supposed to be dealing with this sort of bullcrap?

Also, I've noticed that there are wayyyyy fewer registered members on this forum than there was back when I registered (Feb 2011 - before the buyout by Caputo Media http://www.caputomedia.com/psx-scene.html ), so clearly something is REALLY MESSED UP!

It's pretty dead as it's obviously not as well-established as PSX-Scene and it will probably pick up largely thanks to the ex-members joining over to other sites, including that particular one

As for the chat idea, it's not a bad one actually, and it also scraps out the drawback of segregation (which is what you get with different forums with different approaches/mindsets)
