A Linux CD boot and Lunavader homebrew combo
Rerofumi, maker of the PSP homebrew games TGCS Block and TGCS Cave, has come up with a novel way to spread homebrew joy for the PS3. So, to save people the trouble of having to master Linux, he decided to add a CD boot of the Linux OS with the file instead.
As Rerofumi himself writes in his readme, “Anyone can enjoy homebrew software in it being easy to operate Linux in PS3. But installation work is difficult.” His English may be somewhat sketchy, but we can certainly understand the troubles with installing Linux. We also know that some people are just overwhelmed by those bits of code that scroll below that penguin, and therefore prefer not to tap into the PS3’s full potential.
Anyway, he’s also added a PS3 version of the Lunavader game he made for the PSP (which is a Space Invaders clone that’s just cute as heck, and fun to play, too) to the whole bundle. However, with a rather hefty file size of 80MB, it’s taking some time to pick the thing up from the internet. In the meantime, you can download it by visiting his webpage, and we’ll try to see if we can upload it onto our servers ASAP.
As a special treat, he also has a flash movie link on his site, showing the Linux boot in action as it starts his game up. Just be sure to check his readme for directions, and learn to partition your PS3’s hard drive for another OS while you’re waiting for the download to finish. Enjoy!
