Hey, I don't come here that often for the Linux anymore. But, I would recommend looking for the Tutorial on installing Ubuntu Linux on the PS3! I think it is so much better, and it supports the WiFi that is built into the PS3. So go to the search bar, and look for the Ubuntu Linux for the PS3 installation!

What does this have to do with installing YDL? To answer your question though yes it transcodes on the fly(converts while streaming).

Dav ... thanx for the info. i've tried ubuntu ... am getting the same thing.

what am i missing?! please help! thank you.

was wandering if you can advise me on my ydl installation problem in my ps3. i got 40gb version with (system v.2.01) 2 usb ports. burned ubuntu iso (lastest) burned YDL (5.02) & (5.0) both burned in 4x also tried maximum speed when burning the ISO. so i got a lot of DVD now with linux on it.

i was able to install the bootloader. but then when i get to kboot. that's where am stuck. i tried install & installext but nothing comes out except for - g ... then tried ydltext still same thing - g ...

what am i missing here ... i did my own reading already but some guy with the same case wasn't answered. hope to hear from you soon. thank you kindly.

email me (f4rr3ll@front.ru) or pm me on this board.

A few questions...

Will only a USB keyboard & mouse work?
Do you have to burn it as an ISO?

Heres what i did

Install it with the control pad, followed it etc

It gets stuck on kboot then resets itself now i cant do fuck all with my PS3, whenever i turn it on it goes to the install screen and gets stuck on kboot so i insert the cd it saying something failed then it turns itself off.

So how the hell am i supposed to play my ps3 games now?

You should read more in to things before you jump straight in and do them...
Yeah, you have to use a keyboard and mouse.
And use Nero or something to burn as image on a DVD.
If you want to get back to the PlayStation XML then hold the powering on button for 5 seconds when the console is off, wait till it beeps twice and then it will go straight back into the PS3 XML.

hey thanks playin games again now


Just bought USB keyboard & USB Mouse

Mouse works fine

It recognises the keyboard from accessory settings but i cant type anything with the keyboard, any suggestions?>

also i burned the DVD from nero as a data DVD, and i extracted the files instead of burning it as an ISO, that make any difference?

the controller won't work, you'll need to use the keyboard and mouse, but why would you want to use the controller on linux? it just defeats the object of making it into a pc

Hey guys I just managed to install linux with a keyboard only. I'm getting a wireless mouse soon but how do I return to the normal ps3 dashboard! I'm sitting here and I want to play some games. My xbox live ran out so till I buy some more I want to play resistance online lol.

there is a way by running command, but the way i do it is by holding the on button for 5 seconds and just pop straight back to the xml! i never use linux, i cant get the wifi working. it was pointless thing to install but ... im a messer i guess! merry christmas folks
