Installing os to ps3

There should now be a Red-Ribbon-default option at the top of the list now instead of it saying "live" that indicates that it has indeed successfully installed onto the PS3's Internal HDD. Linux is now installed on your PS3 System! Now do whatever you want with it! Last edited: Aug 9, Hey bud, question. Can I do that on stock? I read your other post about having to run it through mfw builder 1st, im confused on what you had to change?

I'm hoping to do this without losing my gbs of data lol. LuanTeles likes this. Nice guide. Going to follow it when I set mine back up.

Might be worth mentioning that user needs to be converted to DEX before starting. Maybe include instructions on how to patch themselves. In case they want to reserve a different size for the Linux partition. What size is your patched D-REX? I didn't see, unless I overlooked.

I've been looking for one that was updated. I'm unsure if either program will mess up PS3 partitions? So it's setup to run live version of otheros stock, but for internal you have to patch the cfw to make and format proper partitions lol ok I'm no longer confused.

Thanks alot. The process consists of four main steps:. The following steps show how to obtain it. The following steps explain how to acquire this. This ISO file contains many Linux-related utilities for the PS3, but for our purposes, two are particularly important: otheros. The second file provides a miniature Linux environment that makes it possible to install the full kernel on the PlayStation.

Choose between Quick Format and Full Format. I recommend the quick version, which only takes seconds. Select Yes to delete all data on the formatted memory. Press Enter to restart the PS3. The procedure is as follows:. The video parameter is optional and identifies your display p, i, or p. The p setting works well for most displays. Note: If your keyboard sends gibberish to the command line, it means it was designed for Windows. When the installation finishes, Linux will automatically load when you turn on the PS3.

To go back to GameOS, restart the console and press the front power button until you hear a beep. Installing a foreign operating system on a game console is no small task, and you have every right to be proud. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and works as a software developer. Because I want to learn programming and I don't have any computer except a pentium 4 who's motherboard is gone.

I know about raspberry pies but can't buy them. Any way to install such operating systems on a PS3 console or it's just a dream? Thanks in advance to everyone. Last edited: Jul 5, CFW you can do this. Also albeit very limited you can run Windows 3.
