SO basically I want to know how to combine back-up data from 2 different PS3 hard-drives to one new hard-drive. A friend of mine put a different hard-drive in his PS3. Well, now he wants to format the one hard-drive that''s in his PS3 (let's call it HD2), but he has data on it that he doesn't want t...

Well, I finally managed to install YDL on my PS3 and it seems to be working fine. Thank you all who helped. It takes me directly to the command prompt and, as I am a Linux noob, it took me a while to figure out I had to type "startx" to launch the GUI part. Now I am having a problem with t...

So I want to do some simple game development for the PS3 on YDL 6.1. What would be a good 3D graphics engine to use? At work we use OGRE. Will that work on YDL?

Also, what are some good software development tools on YDL? Is there something similar to Visual Studio?

Here's a summary of the steps: 1. Backup your game data because it will be erased by the disk partitioning. 2.

I started out on YDL 5.02, then Fedora 9 and recently moved to YDL 6.1. Fedora 10 is out already and is great if you're going to be hacking away at the kernel or the apps that come with it, the reason being the fast development cycle those guys keep. I had a hard time getting Ubuntu 7.10 to install...

maybe this helps: http://linuxonps3.wordpress.com/ This has instructions about installing Yellow Dog and Fedora. What I was looking was something more of a comparison between the 3 versions of Linux. Why would I pick one over the other sort of thing, in the context of developing simple games on the...

Hi, I am a total newb at PS3 development, but I want to learn. Here is my question, which flavour of Linux would be the best for home brewn game development on the PS3? Yellow Dog, Ubuntu, or Fedora? And second question is: I've been reading instructions about installing Linux on the PS3 and it says...
