Release: PS2 Linux Live DVD Version 3

**gamewarden56** · 08-20-2012,12:45 AM

Mega Man,

I would like to express my gratitude, for making Live DVD Version 3. I've waited for a long time to see what kinds of awesome features this newest Linux brings to us. I will report back after I have completed my backup of my hdd and re-installation of this release. So far I'm curious about the vnc viewer feature.

Hi Mega Man thank you for your great work. Can you say me how can I play a divx Video from USB Pen drive with mplayer please? I Have a PS2 V10.

Divx video is very slow on the ps2linux or near to impossible
But you can use the SMS Media Player it works perfect with avi.

This can only be done by command line. You need to start xterm and enter the commmands:
su
mount -r /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
exit
mplayer /mnt/sda1/filename
su
umount /mnt/sda1

You need to replace "filename" by the file name of your video file.
"-r" means read only.
Umount cleans up when finished.

Well I said that I would report back after my backup and I must say that I'm very impressed with this new version. This dvd is cleaned up more than previous release. It was so easy for me to reinstall this release on the hdd and it took me only a couple of hours. I've been experimenting with the vnc viewer and wow is all I have to say. I never thought I would see the day that vnc would be working on ps2. In fact I didn't even know it was possible. Once again very nice work to all who built this great release.

Well, since I cannot run Linux on my slim console, is there a way I could test it in PCSX2? I tried slim modchip and no modchip and fat modchip and I do not get any results, ISO just wont boot...

PCSX2 can start kernelloader, but it can't run Linux. Linux uses virtual memory which is not emulated by PCSX2.

Hi guys.
Some comrades from other web-source found maybe useful links about linux for first PS1 (PSX);
View topic - Runix - PSX Linux (Caution: WAREZ INSIDE) - Windows, Apple, Application, Abandonware and Game Beta Downloads/Repository - BetaArchive

Can it be of any use to the community, at least for PSX-community? Maybe somehow possible to run it in embedded Psx-emulator of PSP ?

**gamewarden56** · 08-29-2012,03:24 PM

Maybe someone could use this too improve ps2psxe or something. Skynet that was a very nice find, thanks.

Maybe we could have luck trying this on a psx emu in the near future?
