    only inportant code you might want to include for unbuntu loading would be

    install video=ps3fb:mode:X (3)

    Doesnt matter because if you go to the store it allows you to download it again for free.

    might be possible to make a firmwarez, firmware with ability to install linux

  20. Tsusuu1 says:

    I’m just curious, will most/all of the SNES roms run well? I know that on a psp and NDS there can be problems.

    I think it’s software only Open GL so it’s very slow

  22. hanxopx says:

    @heartaman2 Sony support this, MS don’t so even if you get it done it won’t be that good.

  23. hanxopx says:

    Does it support OpenGL?
