Linux on PS3 Questions

[bbbigbossbb]

If I were to install Yellow Dog Linux on my PS3, would I be able to install a PSX and/or PS2 Emulator so I can run ISOs or burnt PS2 DVDs from my Swap Magic Days? If so, please tell me how. Could I also install other emulators with Linux?

no ps2 emulator, you would be able to run snes and such systems. but nothing too crazy as the ps3 is limited to cell only in linux as of now.

Not true. If you havent updated to the latest firmware, you can get limited RSX support Not sure if theyve gotten it working in the latest though

Firmware downgrades are now being brought in for the PS3.
