A petition has started, which might be of interest for Playstation 3 users:

We, Playstation 3 users, ask Sony to allow the use of the RSX trough Other OS.

Right now because of the PS3 firmware limitation we can’t…
– Easily watch movies in various formats
– Correctly use 2D applications
– Friendly run lite 3D applications

Useless when it comes to fight against piracy, this limitation is a trouble for honest users but not for pirates: it makes operating systems as Linux not interesting enough and this fabulous project of Other Os on PS3 seems to drown. A huge number of disappointed comments in many forums are proving this.

Dear Sony, you made us dream, please now don’t leave us alone with lost hopes.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

fMSX-PSP is a port of the fMSX emulator to the PlayStation Portable platform. It is based on version 3.1 of fMSX and should run on any PSP with firmware 1.50 in user mode. The emulator uses GU (Graphical Utility Toolkit) for rendering and runs at 100% speed for most games.

Changes:

* Added support for cartridge type selection in the System menu. This adds support for games like Zanac Ex, which are not detected correctly
* Preliminary ZIP file support. Emulator will load ROM or DSK files from a ZIP file, provided there’s only a single compressed file per ZIP. System ROM’s must still be uncompressed (or GZip compressed)
* GZip file support – emulator will load cartridges and disk images from .gz compressed files. Save states are also much smaller in size
* GUI changes, wording changes
