But i need your help. I wrote ps3dmproxy driver from my head. You have to test it please and report bugs to me.
Unleash your Linux on PS3 !!!
Later i will code a small program that will show you how to use ps3dmproxy driver. It’s very powerfull, now you have access to Update manager and Storage Manager e.g. on Linux. It means BD drive access guys.
