PS3 UAE

Hungry Horace · March 03, 2009, 05:12:10 PM

there's a universal script on the Amiga side of things, although the linux scripts and uae configs have to be changed manually to account for different folder locations. Nothing much though.

I have had a few enquiries by PM on youtube, so i think i'm going to make a tutorial video.

i now have a "PS3UAE" playlist on my youtube channel:

I added a 3-part guide to setting up e-uae with single-booting WHDload setups. I'd do a similar thing if PSPUAE ever had HD support (although i might, in that situation, do something even better)

UAE on the ps3 really does look sweet!

If i ever do get a ps3 in the future this will be one of my main things to sort out on it!

I agree Baboon, it does make the PS3 more desirable, when its under 200 quid I may take the plunge

i would have thought the Battle Squadron video was already enough for you to get one

hmn

youve made me want to get it done myself! .. damnit!

/ ... if it wasnt for the small 20gb HD in my PS3 at the moment... and the lack of money to upgrade, Id DEFINATELY install that.

thanks for your time in making the vid, horace

Been reading my Game magazine and they have a feature on the consoles that came out during the early 90's. 1990-1995 to be precise. I had a good laugh at the price of some of them, especially when people moan about the price of the PS3 when it first came out.

To play one of the FIVE(!) Sega Mega-CD 32X games, you would have to buy all the different components and plug them into each other and the total price of all those was a staggering $1000! Mega-CD was around £190 at launch if my calculations are correct.(49,800 Yen in 1991)

As you probably already know, since most of you are all old farts

, Commodore's CDTV came out with a price tag of around £600.

There were a few more that were pretty expensive, I am not going to list them all now. As you can see, nearly every console that came out with a high price tag did not fare well, not just because of the price, but also because of the lack of good games at launch.

The PS3 was fairly expensive, but has already got a ton of games, good and bad. Its still steaming ahead, which could be down to Sony's big wallet, but probably also has something to do with its technical power and longevity of the machine.

I am not ranting

, just thought it was a great article that shed some light on why consoles fail.

I think the PS3 is a great piece of kit, I'd love to purchase one skate but I've always waited for price drops, I only got my PS2 slim 18 months ago! lol

My first PSP phat was 1.5 firmware off ebay for 80 quid.

Xbox360 was free with missus mobile contract with carphone warehouse.

I've always made my own PC's since 1986, although this isn't cheaper than buying any longer.

Infact, I paid full price, plus 20 quid for a DS lite!

what a muppet lol.

And a full priced psp2000 which I love

I'll get a PS3 someday that's for sure, I love what Horace does with his! it's just a matter of time

Hungry Horace · March 09, 2009, 09:33:12 PM

i use my PS3 every day, but i am not even playing games that often. in fact, i still only own 4.

My MacBook has Vuze bittorrent client on it, for which i have some RSS feeds set up with subscriptions for auto-downloading some of my favorite shows.... one of the great things is, this is then instantly shared as a Media Server which the PS3 picks up without any kind of setting up, so i just copy my downloads to the PS3, and watch on my HDTV

Coupled with Blu-Ray, DVD, Picture viewers, music playback, all of which can also come from the networked media server, oh, and along with the option of Linux, it's a genuinely a great bit of kit and has completely replaced my PC.... the 1TB HD i attached tends to help there too

not a bad little xmas present i must say

mighty cool stuff Horace - MaCTooba!

Good Quality video, good gameplay. That water release is a *unt to get past, me and my brother spent ages trying to get past it all those years ago!

Dont know how many packets of choccy biscuits it took us to complete the whole game but McVites shares sored at the time lol.

Anyways, stop baiting me into spending oodles of cash on a PS3!

Tell him FOL, this is definitely baiting surely? LOL

Cheers mate. Obviously had a "bit" of practice

about 3 years ago i was able to complete the entire game in about 30-45 minutes.

the water bit is actually fairly easy, i just cocked it up, but knew it was my time to stop playing anyway!

one of the hardest bits is when that bloke grabs you, you kick him in the nuts, roll and grab the gun. If that bit itself isnt hard enough (depends on the controller you use), the screen just afterwards with 2 guys shooting from each side is!

skateblind · March 18, 2009, 06:38:42 PM

Yeah, shooting those two guys is annoying. The bit where you have to run away from the water is very easy, bit of tension, but still easy.

I usually hate those things on the floor that start chomping when you get near by.

Its all about knowing what to do when.

@ FOL

I am going to have a bit of a break from coding on AMOS i think.

I would very much appreciate your help with trying to tweek e-uae for use with Linux (and, ultimately, the PS3) , so i have some questions!

1 - Do you have Linux set up in some form for compiling native linux versions of e-uae?
2 - How is your familiarity with inputconfig.c in PSPUAE? It is mostly functions from here I would like to tweek, but i suspect it is only some parts that would be needed (for us to discuss)
3 - Do you have some time to give me some help, maybe on some weekends?

Anything you can do to aid me would be wonderful, and appreciated.... you know i hate C! I do have a program on

It's such a shame that the slim PS3's do not support 'OtherOS' ... perhaps this will mean hackers will be more determined now though!
