A More In Depth Look at PS/2 Linux

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the select-start-b-a-start-ctrl-alt-del dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I have yet to see a GOOD review of the Linux (for Playstation 2) kit... until now... " The article takes awhile to get to the point, but covers a lot of information about what you can and can't do w/ the kit, and more interestingly what the author thinks the kit is intended to accomplish.

  1. Huh? PS/2 has had linux forever.. by deathcow · · Score: 4, Funny

    PS/2 Linux

  2. Crappy article by Aceticon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Where is the human side in this story?

    Where is the tale of long nights hacking way, man against machine?

    Or the vivid descriptions of cafeine induced allucinations?

    The joys of finnaling figuring out the function of that last pin in the Sound Synthesis Chip?

    The humble confession - "After 5 days straight hacking i fell asleep on my keyboard ..."?

    But NO!!! The author does use half the article to tell us about his phylosophical doubts in relation to Sony's posture, but that is a far cry from the moving story of A Man And His Penguin Against The Machine.

    The children! Please think of the little children!!!

  3. For XBox by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, can someone quickly write a PS2 emulator for XBox so I can then run Linux on it and collect my $200 Grand. Thanx!

  4. What's a PS/2(tm)? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    When did PS/2(tm) start to mean Playstation 2(tm), and not Personal System 2(tm)?

    It's so confusing. I tried to play a Playstation 2(tm) game on my IBM(tm) 286 machine, and it didn't work! I just don't understand it. Maybe the disc is scratched, or something. It fitted in the 5.25 inch disk drive OK, but I think the hole in the middle was too small, because it made a funny noise when I shut the drive door. Now the 5.25 inch disk drive doesn't operate, and small pieces of shrapnell fell out when I tried to put a floppy disk in it. Admittedly I had to cut a bit off of the 8" disk, but I thought it would still work.
