John,
I suggest you do a little bit of research... Sony have indeed
announced they are commited to providing an international Linux kit.
Some simple google queries would have told you that :)
This list is more for low-level homebrew work on the PS2.

* John Thornton <jth...@ha...> on Sun, Jan 06, 2002: >=20 > Please do. I would like to know what you think. That us if you have the > time. >=20 I'm not much of a political person in that respect. I don't think politicians make good hackers, emotions get too muddled up, and it seems like your "issues" with Sony are more politically motivated rather than hac= ker motivated. That's not really my thing :P. Too bad you aren't in this for the fun of hacking the PS2. >=20 > This is great news. Do you have a kit? Has anyone gotten it to work witho= ut > a kit? >=20 Nope, I don't have a kit. I'm still heavily active in Dreamcast homebrew/Linux stuff, so I haven't dedicated myself to PS2/Linux projects yet. I do believe it's possible (using the homebrew boot methods and/or USB loaders available) to get a PS2/Linux kernel booting on a US PS2. The main problem I see is that a huge chunk of PS2 kernel code is binary only, Sony uses a bootloader mechanism called "SBIOS" from their kernel source, and this provides functionality for sound, CD/DVD, joypads, memcards, etc. I've started reversing this (mostly just RPC calls back to the IOP), but I haven't made a whole lot of progress. My main goal is to get a fully open-sourced version of Linux that's compatible with all PS2's. M. R. |

Hello M. R., You seem to be more aware of these 2 kernels than I, so are the 2 other Linux kernels being developed not integrated with the main linux trunk kernel CVS? Is there a planned merge at some point in the future? now3d "M. R. Brown" wrote: > > There are already two ports of Linux to the PS2 that aren't > Sony-sanctioned.

Up until a month or so ago, there wasn't a viable way to send code to the PS2 besides burning CD after CD. Also, if the PS2 homebrew scene takes anything from the Dreamcast one, it'll be a loooong time before anything major gets started. > It seems to me getting Linux running on a ps2 in the U.S.A. is really on > hold if/until Sony feels like it.

One of the developers of the 2.4.x port is on this list, GOTO Masanori. You will find its source in the linux2.4 CVS module of this project (ps2hacking.sf.net). The other lives in the linux CVS tree at linux-mips.sf.net. M. R. |

John-- I strongly suggest you wait until Sony releases the US PS2 Linux. It comes with online documentation explaining every programmable componenets in PS2, CPU, VPU, MPU, Controller ports, Controllers, demo programs with source codes, etc. I do currently running a linux on my PS2 and that's how I know. I've been hearing that US linux will be release very soon. Please wait. sincerely --- John Thornton <jth...@ha...> wrote: > Ok, lets get loud until we need a moderator. > > I would like to introduce myself.

Ok, lets get loud until we need a moderator. I would like to introduce myself. My name is John Thornton I'm a unemployed network administrator by day and a small independent magazine called Hacker's Digest by night. I'm in the U.S.A. If you are reading this email let me know and tell me where you are from. I have one goal as of now, to have Linux on my ps2. Why? So I can exploit it. Sony is a huge supporter of the DMCA and I want to do anything to hack my ps2. So my first question is, where do I get started. The information on getting this going is just about null. I found this site by luck and I can see why its so damn quite. It seems to me getting Linux running on a ps2 in the U.S.A. is really on hold if/until Sony feels like it. So if anyone is reading this, take the time out and go to. http://www.ps2linux.scea.com/interest_form.shtml And http://www.fakeroot.net/ps2linux/index.php3.en - Petition for the public Release of Linux for the PlayStation2 - Til reach to 10,000 - the total number of signatures is now 8,940, only 1,060 remained til 10,000. One of the other sites I have run across is http://www.runix.ru/pages_en/Downloads/Our_collection/. They have a "Linux kernel for Playstation 2 alpha 1 - Archive Linux kernel for Playstation 2 alpha 1. (Added: 30-Oct-2001 Hits: 1047 Rating: 5.46 Votes: 13) Rate It ".

Trolling, trolling trolling !
Notice that the list isn't called "PS2Linux-devel" ?
You're always welcome to start one ;) I'd be happy to join!
However, this list isn't entirely dedicated to running Linux on PS2...
Much if it is concerned with developing and running
cross tools (and dicussing programming techniques)
hosted on standard wintel platform Linux - much more
useful than focusing on those very few that have access
to PS2 Linux. Though PS2 linux is useful for investigation
and prototyping, it is not a desirable target for mass
applications or games. The tools that have been deveoped
by prominent list members allow a PC USB link to a PS2 to be
used for program download and debugging - a HUGE step
forward from the compile-burn-repeat cycle developed before
by those same people;)
With the release of a revamped PS2 Linux for US machines,
(soon!) and the standalone hard drive kit coupled with
a supported USB-nic, many more people will be able to
use native MIPS Linux on "there"/their PS2s, using the commercial
kit or homebrew variations. Review the list histories and
you will find much useful information of pS2 Linux
as well as valuable links. Please spend some time become
complaining;)
Regards;
Heinz

Hello, During my venture in rewriting the r5900 MM code (look for it in the linux-= mips CVS sometime soon), I became a little bit curious about a specific portion = of the code.. namely the r5900_flush_cache_sigtramp() code. The R5900 is the only processor that deals with flushing both the beginning= and the end of the icache and dcache regions.. everyone else simply flushes out from the start address, is there any reason for this? Ideally, replacing the whole thing with something like: protected_writeback_dcache_line(addr & ~(dc_lsize - 1)); protected_flush_icache_line(addr & ~(ic_lsize - 1)); where the icache and dcache line sizes are fixed at 64 bytes, should work. If this isn't the case, can someone shed some light on the situation? Or am I just totally missing something obvious? Regards, --=20 Paul Mundt <pm...@mv...> MontaVista Software, Inc. |

well it ain't compatible your machine, your machine is pal scee, like all from euro, the america kit won't work for you because it is ntsc scea, and the jap won't work because it is ntsc scei, eg you will have to want for the eur kit like me. well you can get around this limitation. first of all the xbox is going to have a 8 gb hard drive down graded from 10, and secondly does 30 meg really that bad.. only when running bloat ware like windows does GBs of memory are required..

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc will launch a = Linux-enabled version of its PlayStation 2 in the U.S. market, an = executive from the company said Monday. Is it just bad wording and did they mean to say that Sony will launch a version of Linux for it's PS2? What they actually said was that they will launch a ~version~ of PS2 for the US market which will be Linux enabled, whatever that means! Does that imply that existing US versions of PS2's won't run it? Notice that it doesn't say they will release the PS2 linux kit for US PS2's... so this could mean an cdrom/dvdrom only version of a product or an entirely new PS2 variant, perhaps with a built-in HD to compete with X-box.... A hard-diskless PS2 Linux doesn't make sense, and as most of the world's PS's don't have hard drives, they=20 will have to address that issue, probably by bundling a HD with the kit. Early PS2's with PCMCIA slots would require the slower PCMCIA-IDE interface (non 32 bit cardbus) ext HDs. In any case this puts it in the 200-300$ price point, well above Microsoft's offering ($300US) which includes now a 20 Gb HD (downgraded from 40 Gb)... assuming no pre-Christmas price drops, ie ~$300USPS2+~$200US HD. For that price range, I'd rather see a 128Mb ram machine=20 (32 Mb is really too little!) with a GS containing >4Mb video RAM. I'm not sure how the wording was for the announced German=20 release...but it might be similarly deceptive. Any have a link? Interesting will be if Sony actually fully "productizes" a Linux=20 distribution with upgrades and support, instead of "as-is" like the buggy Japanese PS2-Linux Kit which sold for $207US (but was widely scalped for $300-$800US on Ebay and Chinese stores.) The major issue you will have to deal with for the Australian machine will be the region code. A US region code 1 DVD disk may not work on a region code 4 machine. In addition to the usual Sony proprietary authenication scheme on all legit PS2 CDs and DVDs, the Japanese=20 PS2 Linux does not work on a US PS2. I don't know if any of the many bogus modchips (int or ext) or swap trick will work around this. im worried about shelling out for the kit and it not being compatible = at all with my machine. its a scph-30002 its australian, what do you guy = think? |
