It's easy to forget that the PS3 is a fully-equipped PC in your living room attached to your house's best monitor. Installing Ubuntu can help you remember, and play SNES games in the process.
It still kind of surprises me (in a good way) that Sony was, from the start, very OK with PS3 owners tinkering with Linux on their PS3s. A modified release of Yellow Dog Linux was available from the very beginning, and some very handy hard drive partitioning and dual-boot utilities are baked right into the PS3's XMB; Ubuntu gets installed on an entirely separate partition of your PS3's hard disk, so your default system doesn't get touched and switching between Ubuntu and the XMB is a piece of cake.
Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.
There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.
lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
TheGamer Writes "The only way to preserve gaming history is through emulation."
How do you preserve a game that requires a persistent internet connection? Many future games will be online-only even for single-player. We'll only be able to stream games and you'll have to be connected at all times. That's the disgusting future of gaming.
That's true, MK11 for example require there server and online for even single player content. Some people out there did make a server etc for some games on a emulator I think. Maybe one day they'll upgrade emulators to be online for todays way of gaming. Also for companies to not be like nintendo
It's possible. Take a look at PlayStation Home, it was shut down years ago and now through PS3 emulation, and emulating PSN, they've brought it back online.
Many of those games aren’t worth saving to me.
I’m sure some will be but I try to stay away from anything online only. There are old online only games that are up and running for the ones that are worthy but some will die like they should.
That's like EA and Maxis how they lied and said SimCity 2013 required a server to play because it was too powerful for our PCs but then like a couple months later a hacker made a crack to play it offline and ea shut up about it and finally made an offline mode. 🤣
Persistent internet connection is DRM. Plain and simple.
Emulators are the future of gaming because console makers aren't going to do squat imo.
Yeah, they totally aren't going to maintain BC support for past-generation games on current-generation consoles. I can say, definitively, that this is not happening at all.
It's like I'm waiting for all nintendo console games on the switch 2 I understand licensing and stuff like that but they gotta make effort or ppl will do it for them.
ugh…unless they own their game outright, that save/preservation bs you are spewing (the flavor of the month club) is not on them.
This is some sticky territory because I don't buy current gen consoles for games I played yesterday. I move on. Phil Spencer and Xbox design and make THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE like they have Napoleonic Syndrome and then they want to use all that power to backward compatability and games that look like they should be on the PlayStation, that's why you want the worlds most powerful console? I buy new hardware for new gaming experiences and new games. I'm hearing a lot of current gen gamers (that are older) now talking that with the elimination of physical media for a more digital audience and not letting up on DLC, microtransactions, loot boxes, and season passes, we're smarter than all that and can mic drop and leave at any time. We don't want remasters and remakes. Sure, its fun to remember when we were kids and how much easier life was, it was a simpler time, but we don't want the same old experiences, thats what nostalgia is for, no, we want something new. We want new games that push hardware and promote innovation. Not the same experience repeated over and over. Pushing emulation is just going to force developers to have to remake games over and over because they'll get pirated otherwise and then they can't focus their energy and attention on new experiences and ideas to create nostalgia for the current generation of gamers either, they'll have nothing to look back on. And all the DLC, loot boxes, microtransactions, season passes have got to stop. Maybe its just like my parents use to see when the things they had disapeared and theres just never anything I'll be able to do about it, but there was a time when you bought a game and you got everything with it. Now, before the game goes gold, they dissect it, the game goes gold and then they sell you the rest of the game to pick your pocket for more money. You really think Capcom didn't think ahead with Street Fighter 6. That they thought that at some point they'd integrate Rashid and Akuma and 4 other characters into the game when they got around to it? IF you really think that then you don't deserve to play games, their Season Pass DLC characters are already done and sitting on a HDD waiting for someone to press the upload button, it's all done and has been done and SHOULD have shipped with Street Fighter 6, but because we've gone to GAMES AS A SERVICE business models, this is what we get. Street Fighter IV on the PS3, you played and unlocked additional characters, thats how it used to be, now Capcom wants to sell them too you, but the same is said for Dead or Alive, Guilty Gear, Blazeblue, Mortal Kombat. Theyre selling you games with content you should have already gotten, but they've picked it apart to sell you the rest later for more money, That's dispicable!
When I install a bigger HDD, come Summer...I might consider this.
Wow, any idea if i can install PC linux compatible games on the PS3 if i have Ubuntu? wouldnt mind putting BF2 or SC on my ps3 and putting in my Mouse / Keyboard.
YDL is the way to go if you want to play SNES on PS3 well it runs better on YDL as i tried both but i prefer Ubuntu over YDL its just looks so clean and simple :D and thers some windows game you can play like diablo and starcraft need some extra work tho
ohk
Haven't used much Linux.. But, I must say, with some tweaking, that logo could actually work.. Hell, it's got the three-theme to it. Wouldn't be straying TOO far from the color scheme from the psx logo either.
