Loading homebrew on ps3

[Dariusc123456]

Ok, now I know this is stupid for me to ask, but how can I load homebrew on a ps3? Do I need linux, or does it load on the ps3 without it?

[J.F.]

It depends on the homebrew. Is it a PPC linux program? If so, just run it in linux on the PS3 like you would any other linux app.

Is it stand alone PS3 OTHEROS (probably based on the OTHEROS demo code)? If so, there's two ways to run it: gzip it and install it as the OTHEROS.bld; then telling the PS3 to switch to otheros will run it. The second way is to run the elf file for the stand alone app from kboot.

J.F., do you have a link for the OtherOS demo code ?

Okay, I outed myself as a non-search newbie now 8).

Thanks!

I don't mind when the thread is on page three or so, but when it's on the FIRST page, that's when I start wondering. :)

Of course, you could claim to be using a small monitor which bumped the thread to page 2. :D

No, my monitor is too big and I did not wear my glasses... must have skipped line 1 8)).

You need glasses to see the entire monitor? Now THAT is a BIG monitor. :D

That's XP running on a high res with non-scalar fonts and too much beer in my early years which made my eyes swallow and see everything foggy, I think... 8)
