Kmeaw: Dual-Boot Custom Firmware Coming Soon?

[Dulousaci]

It may be possible to get it to connect with the wireless dongle for windows, if you can write a driver for it

Sorry i missed it

No worries. For anyone else wondering, it would be much easier to get third party controllers working, since that is just changing an "if" statement to always return true.

really helpful of you there..

How to Use a Flash Drive As Memory With Linux OS on a PC | eHow.com



Im simply throwing ideas out there, how does your comment contribute?

I dont pretend to be a guru, If its not possible, or it wont help, explain why..

"lol" doesnt help anybody does it, its not like I had a dream about it, theres info on the net stating that it can be done, doesnt mean it would work in this situation, or in fact that it would be any good, but 256Mb RAM is poo compared to todays standards.

Like I said, I dont know, maybe you actually do, maybe you could actually explain whats so funny about the idea?

Or anyone else who would like to tell me the reason its laughable..

cheers

While possible, the maximum theoretical throughput of USB 2.0 is 480Mb/s (megabits per second), or 60MB/s (megabytes per second). In real life, you probably won't get more than half that (and even then, only with a really high end thumb drive). Unless your hard drive transfers data slower than 30MB/s, it is better to just have a swap (virtual ram space) partition on your hard drive. This is over simplifying it a bit, since hard drives have longer latencies than flash drives, but the gains are still probably more trouble than it's worth, especially considering how fast that would destroy the flash drive with writes.

Using the graphics ram, on the other hand, will yield significant performance increases, at least when you don't need it for graphics stuff, of course.

this is great but we need a rsx driver for graphic and speed someone needs to work on this, is there anyway of getting the old rsx drivers to work before the killed it with FW 2.50

Thanks, that explains it better.

new function in cfw !!!!! a browser that alows to play gaikai.com on ps3

If Kmeaw, graf_chokolo and rebug would work together and make a new firmware THAT would really really be nice

Just a thought I had bouncing around...

For those that wish for a dual-boot OFW/CFW combination (and therefore PSN)... even if possible, it would probably ultimately fail... because Sony could (and WOULD for sure) implement a way to detect the presence of this in an updated OFW and therefore continue to keep such users off PSN.

Linux/CFW would be where it's at. People that are not currently excited for such a thing probably will be, when the potential for this is fully realized. This Linux can and will be much more useful than the old official (and crippled) OtherOS... especially if RSX drivers and full SPU access can be achieved... and it probably will.

Screw PSN... this is about a bigger, badder, richer homebrew scene. A PS3 optimized Linux distro with full GPU and (hopefully) SPU access, and a world stuff ready to use.

This.

Dual-boot Linux/Game OS (hopefully with a way to play newer 3.60 games) would be heaven. I'd settle for just the better Linux tho.
