QJ.net reports that "some hackers have announced that they've discovered a way to access the 3D contexts on the Graphics Processor Unit of the PlayStation 3. If what they say is true, then this will allow homebrew developers to create their own 3D applications for the console.
CNLohr posted a video on YouTube of the PlayStation 3 running some code in Linux. Allegedly, the hypervisor is talking with the nVidia RSX video card of the console to render the three animated quads in the foreground and the triangles in the background.
According to CNLohr, the demo being used is a modified version of IronPeter's libps3rsx from ps3dev.org. For those who want to try replicating his setup, the PS3 is running using a patched 2.6.24 experimental, unofficial kernel on Gentoo Linux".
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
Even 10 years after release, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online's player engagement has risen drastically compared to last year.
if that happens then the ps3 will sell into the roof and the ratio of games bought to console sold is gonna get very interesting.
ps3 already struggling on that ratio already. hmmm
Homebrew development kicks ass... What you saw on the PS2 is only a fraction of what they can do with the PS3 now.
Whatever happens, these hacks always help ps3 sales and finally there is some good sales figures to look forward too
that would be great.. can't wait until the PS3 becomes the home ground for homebrew like the PSP is... I would buy a PS3 on day 1... imagine playing all the old Nes, Snes, PSP, N64...
Seriously this will have no affect on PS3 ISO loading x_x. Thats a completely different animal for those who are saying that. This will simply mean GPU support in Linux nothing more nothing less. So emulators will work but it will have no affect on the actual PS3 OS...
