I'm beginning to feel more comfortable on my PS3

Oh my god, this is the answer to my prayers Smiling

One thing that is going to make me happy soon on my ps3, is this nice thing I love from my PC, being able to play with my mouse. I was reluctant to move to a console, but I got used to it, the damn controller to play fps games, for Christ sake's, who ever think of a stick for that? Well there are many players out there that play really good with the standard controller, well, I don't. I suck!

But oh man gimme a mouse and (if possible too) a keyboard, well I could lose the keyboard if I had some type of keypad to program the buttons.

Ok for you fun guys owners of a PS3 or wanting to get one you can get the FragFX V2 for PS3, at http://www.splitfish.com/

It looks like this:



I can explain to you how Call of Duty 4 is played when I buy mine Smiling

Like this:




And soon on the PS3, 3D glasses:

STFU-Ender @ Tue, 12/02/2008 - 7:08am · #997 Well, we've looked into porting TremFusion to the Wii, which is difficult due to its severely limited system resources. I'm not sure if anyone has thought about the PS3, which would have the opposite problem...

If I had a PS3, maybe I would. You wanna donate one for development purposes? Has the PS3 been hacked yet? (IE, had another operating system put on it).

Fallen- @ Tue, 12/02/2008 - 12:29pm · #998 Well, I was thinking in something more legal, like doing a petition for a virtual machine inside the PS3 OS, with limited 3d hardware support, like a geforce 4 or 3 support, maybe a 1 core PowerPC so people could go into a light (Eeepc?) linux version with lets say 128 MB RAM and virtual memory support on the hard disk, like XEN VM's. We could then install it and use it without repartitioning the harddisk, and play 3d games like Quake 3 and related (with limited performance/resolution), do Compiz Fusion, and Sony could have more control on what can be done inside. You could do some work on your ps3 like use a real browser, open office documents, chat on msn/yahoo/google etc., use linux on a window or full screen, without rebooting the whole thing like it is now, just use it and close it like a game.

I will try http://www.ipetitions.com/start-petition/ or http://www.petitiononline.com/

Oh man, I would give you my PS3 for your tests, but I'm so deep into Resistance 2 and Farcry 2 Sticking out tongue

The_Me @ Tue, 12/02/2008 - 12:33pm · #1002 Meh I don't like it, It gives some players unfair advantages. I think all players should use the same type of aiming device. Not have some with a mouse, using a mouse on an FPS is much easier then a joystick.

Fallen- @ Thu, 12/04/2008 - 11:02am · #1014 Yeah, I have Gentoo Linux installed on it. I'm going to install Ubuntu 8.10 now.

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/

Right now Linux works via the hypervisor, my idea it's that works inside the game os aka XMB, as another program or game would, like VMWare or Xen. I sent an email to sony support, maybe I'll get an answer on this Smiling
