Developer’s note:

 

The project is a confluence of a number of different programs working behind the scenes on top of an optimized install of yellow dog linux 6.2. The great aspect of this project is that the only effort required by you is to install yellow dog linux then install The Zerogame Project; that is it. No hunting down various emulators for various systems then tweaking and configuring each. No configuring bluetooth for the sixaxis or dualshock 3. No need to learn a new operating system. Just follow zerojays txt guide. After the install you dont even need to touch a keyboard every thing can be controlled from the 6A/DS3. Note: the program is in beta at 0.5 so it still has kinks and is a work in progress.

 

What is zerogame?

Over the last year or so, I’ve been tweaking and changing my installation of Yellow Dog Linux on my PS3 so that it would be more emulation-friendly. My goal was to get my install as close as I could to the friendliness of the Xbox emulators, with a game list and a few button presses and the game of your choice is up on the screen. It’s been a long journey, but a fruitful one.

zerogame is a bash shell script that will take a freshly installed copy of Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 on your PS3 and with a few minutes and occasional input from you will give you one good emulation box that you can boot up whenever you feel like playing some classics.

What do I need?

• Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 freshly installed on your PS3
• A working internet connection
• An HDTV that supports 1080p or 720p (480p/i and 576p/i support in the future)
• A wired USB keyboard
• One or more Sony Sixaxis/Dualshock3 controllers
