MAME on PS3 running Yellow dog Linux OS? Rumor or Possible?
« on: February 07, 2007, 06:13:46 pm »
A buddy of mine was speculating and I was surious what you would all think.

I recently bought a PS3 that can run a few operating systems. Most popular of which is the Linux Yellow dog. Can MAME be ported to play on the PS3 and thus run my cabinet eventually?

I just have one question: Why, oh why, would you want to put a $600 console into a cabinet?

You might get better answers in Consoles....perhaps this can be moved there?  :cheers:

As for your question, I found this thread.

And check out video.

So, it looks like a yes!

once linux is running i would assume a linux distro of mame would get you what you need.

As for your question, I found this thread.

I can't wait to see what Phil comes up with.  Right now he has a live CD that contains MAME, a simple front end, Robby The Roto.  You just insert the cd, boot into the OtherOS, and run directly from the cd without installing Linux.  I need to download and try it out myself.
