Everybody's golf for Wii???

I though Sony is the publisher for the game...how come Wii can have it?

Guys...

a fast one...

If I backup my PS3 hdd coz I want to format for other os partition....do I have to re download all my demo and purchased games via PSN? or does all my games are backed up together with it and I can just re-load again later...

what do you mean?

this part

I've been trying to find that piece of info but unable to.....need help from you here

thanks rx

I'm tring to find it also..but to no avail

thanks

I really hate sony's official board...they load up really slow....

Added on June 26, 2007, 7:46 amANOTHER UPDATE 0741 HRS...

Upon the successful installation of Fedora Core 5 and VLC + Mplayer....I then continue to perform the restoration of my PS3 os...remember back when I said I performed the back-up utility from PS3 system settings....

Well....upon restoring the content..again using the function in System Settings....they restored all the game demo and also purchased PSN games...together with Game Data System (Update files, and also oblivion game date, etc) and also my Save game files...not to mention the usual pic, mp3 and video files...

so that means I don't have to re download all them games again....Great one Sony...I really really love my PS3 now...

I never register for anything...that is wierd...

maybe ther's something wrong with their server/website...I can view the pages fine last night....damn...if only I printed it out....

everything is pretty straight forward except for setting up networking...the command line is quite long....which means we need the link to be working.... :dizzy:

Added on June 26, 2007, 10:38 amFound some info...apprerantly...only Fedora Core 6 support wi-fi...though it is not yet stable...unless you really need wi-fi I suggest you better make you ydl installation works because Fedora Core 6 installation will take up all 10GB partition and you will need to uninstall most of the stuff that you don't want like openoffice and etc to free up space.

Added on June 26, 2007, 10:44 amIf you want to try and install Fedora Core 6

you can go here

http://forums.qj.net/f-ps3-linux-283/t-how...-ps3-88431.html

don't be surprised on just how much you need to do as the installation in the thread is minimal + some of the more important items rather than install full then uninstalll them...

the better choice is to do minimal and then add the things we want...as per the above link...

Nope not me...

what...the...heck....four in a row....

I don't know what to say.... :dizzy:

@rx330

any luck with Fedora Core installation?

aik kerja.....

hmm....nm then I thought everybody on block leavk like me..can enjoy playing games everyday for 9 days straight...hahihuheheho

susah/senang??
Take my word...Fedora Core 5 is so easy..pejam mata pun tak bleh buat...hehehe

reformat???
When you are at kboot:...and you type 'install-fc sda' it will ask you to confirm and unpon installation...all previous data on the other os installation will be wiped out..so no need to format first...

otheros file???
I just download the "CELL-Linux-CL_20061110-ADDON.iso" and then take the other os from there as per the instruction...the file from Sony website is no longer needed with the latest firmware....

basically once you install the other os file from the cd iso...you can boot linux 'kboot prompt' already...from there you can start installing FC5...

hope that clarifies

HAH!!!!?????

If you looked properly...the guide jumped from page 3 straight to 5....it's missing its fourth page but never fear...Captain Bajunid to the rescue...

you can refer to another guide here....

http://fedora-ps3.com/Installation_Guide

Use it in combination to the previous step-by-step guide...and you'll get the hang of it...

Oh and yeah..it will clear up any previous Linux installation..

p/s: now I really am hooked to learn more about Linux.....since last night 80% of my PS3 uptime is spent on Linux....hohoho


p/p/s: Regarding all my PS3 downloaded games and demos and game data...Apparently...the Back-up function under System Settings will also backup all our downloaded games and demos and also game updates apart from the usual save game data and music/photo/video....

That is what I call great back-up program....

You need these....

1) Fedora Core DVD ~3.4 GB - Burned
2) Addon CD (I used this one - CELL-Linux-CL_20061110-ADDON.iso) to 'PS3'fied the Linux kernel - Burned
3) 'otheros.bld' file on a thumb drive

and the most important thing.....do not forget this....

A Big size Popcorn and a movie for you to watch while the installation is on-going...

not using hdtv???

then it gonna be hard for you to read the text...can your tv recv progeressive input?

if can, then it will be better.

for the add on..it is advisable for you to use the ond I mentioned above...and I used to otheros.bld from there also.
