ydl ... emulate windows

[spawny]

ive ydl on my ps3 but how can i emulate windows on ydl ?

[robsmith]

yes, you can, but it would be extremely slow. personally I don't think it would be worth it. Use qemu or something of that nature if you still want to try it.

does someone has a tutorial for me iam not so good at that sort stuff

[uncholowapo]

There is a thread/tutorial on this at [Please register to see this link. ]. Just use the search button and type in something like "windows on ydl". I can't give you a direct link because I am on the Game OS side of my ps3.

ive i download games for on ydl(ps3) what must i have

64bits or x86

i dont understand it if you look at windows its exe

but what is it at ydl i download quake4-linux-demo.x86.run

its a run file how could i instal this

[uncholowapo]

In linux (well Red Hat based linuxes [lini?] ie. Yellow Dog) they use .rpm files while in Debain based linuxes like ubuntu they use something else that I can't remember.

In that run file you see x86 which means that it is mean't either for intel or AMD processors. The ps3 uses a PPC(PowerPC) processor which is totally different from the others. If it was ppc.rpm then you could install it and run it.

This is a little OT. I have been studying virtualization and from what I understand, hypothetically, it that ultimately it doesn't matter what your hardware is under your hypervisor / vm layer (e.g. vmware, ps3 hypervisor, qemu, etc.) since it is the "virtualizer" that handles all hardware calls as translations to the drivers that it provides for the operating system.

And please correct me if I'm stone wrong on this. I am still learning about it and some dialogue is appreciated.

Anyhow, it is the virtualizer that talks to the hardware and it translates the calls from the OS that is operating in it to the virtual drivers it has established. It seems obvious to me that these virtualizers can be nested in each other, like loading QEMU in YDL. There you have Linux talking to the ps3 hypervisor / virtualizer and QEMU is talking to Linux.

I am sure that if this is true, it is no easy feat and could take an amount of time that isn't worthwhile.

Like I said, if you have something to say about this, I want to hear it to understand virtualization better.

Why would you want too? The only windows that wasn't a resource hog was 3.1.............Holy shit I think I'm going to install 3.1 on my PS3

[robsmith]

Haha. You might actually get some speed with that. I wonder if I could find those disks.

I have a huge collection of MS OS games that would be great to play on the big screen. I was thinking about the old Fallout series and Torment the other day.
