First Steps Into Linux with AsbestOS on PS3 Slim (27c3 demo)

This is what the fail0verflow 27c3 demo *should* have looked like. As it turns out, the reason why we didn’t have working video and had to fall back to an SSH demo was because this Slim is too new to run version 3.15 (what we tried to run), since it does not correctly support this particular revision of the RSX. It was bought about a month ago. The slim actually came with 3.40 firmware stock from manufacturer which is why it did not take the 3.15 too well. So here’s the same demo, except with version 3.41, which does work. Enjoy the video:

It loads right into our AsbestOS right away, totally bypassing GameOS. In the future you would be able to dualboot both GameOS and AsbestOS, but for now that is all we have. We will make it so that you can install it directly from an update file.

Hopefully when we are done somebody else will take over since we aren’t in this long term.
