The PS3 scene has been so dead lately that all the news about it is in regards to Sony and their failures of security of the PSN. Well, we have the next big news here! Thanks to Geoffrey Levand who probably has worked long hours to bring to us PS3 dual-boot GameOS/Linux CFW. Hopefully with this big news, the PS3 scene will get another jump-start. With this, you will be able to boot OtherOS or GameOS. However, it is a bit more than Sony’s OtherOS. This time around, OtherOS will have full access to GameOS, access to HV SS services, full access to all System Manager services, and much more. With this, you will be able to downgrade without usb dongle or service mode, ability to activate and deactivate HDD/VFlash encryption, support for ps3 utils, and much more. Read more to see all the awesome features.

PS3 Dual Boot GameOS/Linux CFW
Note: Currently to start OtherOS. boot_otheros.pkg then reboot.pkg and that will load petitboot. Slim users (Version 1.0-r0) you must unload the slim usb drivers in order to boot.


Features:

Into HV integrated OtherOS bootloader loader (compatible with OtherOS bootloader on 3.15)
OtherOS bootloader is booted directly from HV, no GameOS is involved.
Process of booting OtherOS bootloader loader is very similar to 3.15 method
Booting Linux from HDD/USB/BD/Network
Linux with GameOS rights
Full access to all HV SS services (Dispatcher Manager) from GameOS or Linux
Full access to all System Manager services
Ability to create/modify/remove repository nodes in LPAR 1 (e.g. with ps3dm-utils or ps3hvc-utils).
This ability gives you much power over the whole system because many layers of PS3 use repository nodes to exchange information.
Enabled QA mode in Update Manager
Downgrading without USB dongle or Service Mode
Ability to deactivate/activate HDD/VFLASH encryption (e.g. with ps3stor-utils)
Support for ps3-utils. You can flash new OtherOS bootloader from Linux e.g.
Update #1: We’ve added download mirrors for this dual-booting custom firmware–for those having issues downloading from the main links.

Update #2: Gitbrew.org has been updated with the following information:

Official IRC channel for OtherOS++ – irc.gitbrew.org (ssl) #otheros
Petitboot is now able to boot Linux from the CUI menu – updated dtbImage.ps3.bin
Updated how-to page with instructions for auto install and experienced user install – VISIT OUR FORUM FOR HOW-TO
Automagic script to setup a full linux install – initimg.sh
Updated source code at git.gitbrew.org
Update #3: The guys at Gitbrew has released dual-booting (GameOS/OtherOS) Custom Firmware v3.30 and enabled, “raw access to VFLASH region 0 – dbtImage.ps3.bin”.
