Linux,homebrew,piracy

[g00chy]

for a change thought i would post something for discussion rather than seeing pages of crap,repeat,dumb request for favourite games to work

just an observation, looking at the forum if as stated when the ps3 was cracked wide open it was done for linux you would have thought there would be a massive amount of posts in that section (unless you guys really are that good )

or is noone being truly honest and it was done for piracy?

homebrew emulators although totally legit require you to obtain roms to work
and dress it up how you will, without permission from the owner, its piracy to duplicate them even if you hold a physical copy of it

geohot - now before i say anything else... top bloke for what your doing
and releasing a CFW that allows only signed homebrew not piracy is spot on.

but, is this your idea or your new boss ??? wouldnt blame you if you are now working for sony, you have demonstrated your skills and can have some "control" over how things pan out at the start.

there we go, should be at least something there for a constructive reply!!
that doesnt include can i go online with backup of GT5 yet lol!

I think g00chy has got it right. I personally could care less if "insert backup manager name here" works or not. I mean really, Blu Ray games are 40 gigs, even with a terabyte drive you could only store maybe 25 games and backing up just one game takes hours...

I think the devs need to focus a little more on what the original hackers intended for the console...i.e. installing linux.

Here's what I'd like to see...

- Native Linux support (OtherOS sucks)
- App to read the HRL off the BD drive so I can fix Blu Ray on my Fat
- More useful apps for the XMB, like a better browser, youtube app, facebook app, Media Center (XBMC anyone?), etc.

Seems like all anyone cares about these days is getting something for nothing, i.e. pirating games. I just want to be able to use my PS3 to its full potential.
