(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Anyone looking to run Linux on their PS3, regardless of model, should read up on this right here. Just recently the "automagic" install method was deprecated, meaning there is a much better way to install Linux now, and not only that, these tools and this method now work with all PS3 models ... VFLASH, NAND, Fat, or Slim.

The wiki page covers the prerequisites, downloads and step-by-step instructions. It's all there: firmwares, packages, petitboot images, scripts, tools, guides, video how-to's ... everything needed to get up and running.


And just to recap the full feature list of OtherOS++:


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.


Well, it was a good fight, Sony ... but in the end it's OtherOS++.
