Is this possible? I went to a PCSX2 website and there is a download for Linux. I haven't installed Linux in my PS3 yet, but I'm really thinking about it. Well, thanks. :D
yeah you can play snes nes and mame on Ubuntu, although mame requires compiling the source code for the frontend.
games like marvel vs capcom and the street fighter games are better on mame in my opinion.
you can also get the sixaxis pad to work with bluetooth but im still trying to find a way for the emulators to recognize the controller so i can map the keys.
also im trying to find an open source gameboy and sega emulator so i can compile the source code to work with the ppc architecture the ps3 uses. if and when i find a good one i will convert it to a .deb file and upload it on rapid share so Linux Ubuntu beginners can install it fairly easily.
any software that is open source and has the source code available for download can be compiled for use with the ps3, there is however no 3d graphics hence no n64, ps2, etc emulators.
you can use the sixaxis with the usb cable instead of bluetooth which would probably make it easier to configure with emulators.
also my ps3 is miles away from my sofa so using the usb cable isn't practical for me because its too short.
there is'nt a site as such for linux apps, you either install them from the synaptics package manager (sort of like firefox add-ons you select what you want and install) or through a command line terminal.
you do have to make sure however that the program you use will work with the ps3s cpu, its ppc.
open source apps can be compiled as i said before.
heres a good starting point:
http://psubuntu.com/forum/
when you try any of the tutorials on the site its best to log in as root before starting, using:
sudo su -
in a terminal.
many beginners get errors with permissions when installing software.
