 Rebug Team has brought 2 new realeases for the Sony s playstation 3:
Boot OtherOS++ & OtherOS Prep Tool
These are essential for installing an new OS on your playstation 3 

Note: Below are excerpt from rebug.me
Requirements:
  • 16MB NOR PS3 (Model CECHH or Higher)
  • 3.55 OtherOS++ enabled firmware installed
(If you want to use REBUG 3.55.1 grab PS3MFW Builder 0.2 Portable
from here with the tasks pre-selected to add OtherOS++ support)
Features:
  • One Step Prep if installing OtherOS to USB Hard Disk
  • Two Step Prep if installing OtherOS to PS3 Hard Disk
  • Resize vflash to 6 different sizes
  • (Original, 11GB, 22,GB, 43GB, 65GB and 83GB)
  • Create or Delete vflash region 5, 6 and 7 separately
  • Create or Delete ALL vflash regions at once
  • dtbImage.ps3.bin included in pkg (no need to have it ready on USB)
  • Install different dtbImage.ps3.bin from USB
  • Checks that vflash region 7 create matches vflash size
  • Detects and displays current vflash size on start up
  • Auto matches new size to current size on start up
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE BLACK SCREEN IS NORMAL
In most cases when the PS3 auto reboots you will get a black screen telling you to plug in your controller and press the PS button. THIS IS NORMAL. Press the PS button and on the next screen press the PS button again. The PS3 will continue to reboot.


*****************
IF INSTALLING LINUX TO USB HARD DRIVE:
STEP 1: COMPLETE VFLASH AND PETITBOOT INSTALLATION
(PS3 Hard Drive WILL NOT be Formatted)
Run OtherOS Prep Tool
Press START+SELECT.. You’re done!!
(PS3 will beep when it starts and again when it finishes)
(System will auto reboot)
Run Boot OtherOS++ to launch Petitboot

 We are done folks, happy booting, and btw.:

  4. Breaking Ba dis the best show on TV.

    Is there any reason to put OtherOS on my PS3 other than roms? I've had a full set of SNES and GEN roms for about 10 years now, and they can run on anything. No point to put them on my PS3 as well
