Yeah you might be right man, it might be an alias...

[Amendment01]

Ya, but for the sake of anonymity... We should refrain from speculating who the alias actually belongs to..

My question is "Does this version of linux allow you to use emulators like ps1,
N64, or any others like Dolphin?" I saw in an earlier post that the graphics is restricted, but on an other site I read that this version of linux unlocks it. Sorry for the noob question, just new to Linux and the hardware inside of the Ps3. If no, is it because this Linux doesn't have the drivers for the graphics card? Thank you for any info

Even if it does have full RSX-acces, it doesn't do you any good until someone writes a driver for it.. Since the RSX is based on an Nvidia GPU there is already an opensource driver for that, will take some time to modify it, but I think people were already trying to do that, adding RSX support to that specified driver..

Still, the emulators will run under Linux, but they aren't optimized for the PS3 (standard it will run everything on the PPU instead of also using the SPU's), and people are already converting those emulators to run under GameOS.. Since you have to use a CFW for Linux, you might as well use the GameOS version opposed to the linux version..

Ok so I'm not new to this and I too am having the issue inwhich I cant find the update. Im on help and before you ask I already renamed the the pup and created the proper folders PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP but get "No applicable update available" . I should also note I had the paths set on root of my d1 with OFW and on the root of my flash drive with this CFW and neither were recognized. So now I'm wondering if the fact that i already have Ubuntu installed on my hdd and have actually used some of the function in the HV debugging pkg. has something to do with it lol anyway maybe its for the best whatever ill keep looking at it .

S/N: I have a 320 GB slim and it seems to match what scristopher has listed and looking at gitbrews instructions it says something about unloading the usb driver ? anyone got a clue?.................and last but not least is it only when creating the vflash7 region that it wipes your HDD?

I have a slim = not backwards compatible but again not really interested in PS1. PS2 is what id like to see as well as N64
