Right, but you could use QEMU for launching WINE on non-x86 platforms.

What trade secret? Published keys were already "published" by Sony, because a defective security implementation. It is like writting a number in the box and forbidding you to tell it to others. Geohot just told others what was the keys for his console, and the fact that these keys were the same for all consoles is just Sony's fault. In my opinion Sony deserves this and much more, because of fuking their customers (I still hold PS3 firmware 3.15, for using Linux, but not being able to play new games, because the *requirement* of firmware update). By the way, I have no intention of buying anything produced by Sony, including their media brands (e.g. Columbia Pictures).

You're wrong. 32-bit is 4 bytes, so 1920*1080*4 is 7.9MiB/frame, 474MiB/s at 60FPS. With 20GB/s memories is not such a big problem. Of course, a dedicated bus and memory is better.

Quite ironic to help against themselves. If there was no actual "enemy" no missile barrier should be needed at all.

I no longer buy new games since Sony blocked new games to work on PS3s running Linux (I'm stuck in firmware 3.15). Take that, you greedy overlords!

Yet.

A big problem in 1994 was the poor quality of DRAM used in graphics cards and/or tight DRAM timmings (many SVGA cards had overclocked DRAM, specially the ones running in VESA Local Bus 32-bit bus for i80486 CPUs).

Same here: total boycott to anything related to Sony until they remove the Other OS option and recognice they were wrong when fucking paying customers (!) (DRM rootkit anyone?). My boycott includes Games, DVD, BluRay, non watching Columbia pictures movies on cinema, bitching about Sony Corporation stocks, etc.

I also discourage family and friends for doing the same. Screwed once, my fault, twice is being idiot.

I don't doubt about organic storage capabilities, I was asking about random access time, capisci?

Parent comment was mine, I forgot to log in. I'm glad to see you here (I posted as 'aragon' in the PS2 Linux forums). I keep the PS2 Linux kit, but I'm no longer using it (2002-2007), and the PS3 with the last update before the one that banned Linux, as I like exotic CPU architectures (although I'm a long term x86 Linux user, since 1994).

Ok, and what about random access time?

Forgive my question: It's Sony, the PS3 Linux killer company, removing features and fucking paying customers.

Past benefits doesn't guarantee future income. In my opinion it makes no sense unless for "dumb devices".

Economics is full of ad hoc models, many of them in clear contradiction. I agree also with your signature: yes, debt is slavery (I can not yet believe people accepting 30-40 years mortgages, being some kind of neo-feudalism).

I wanted to say "vertex shader" and not "pixel shader". As you point, the PS3 has both vertex and pixel shaders, while the PICA200 seems to have just vertex shader support.
