It's a 100% PS3 based emulation of Microsoft Windows Vista. Its super slow, but it works.

Song: Seether- The Gift
Installed On Xubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04

How To:
-Install Qemu 0.9.1

-Use vlite to shrink a Vista Image, and apply the 256mb memory patch

-Install Vista on your Computer using the vlite image with Qemu and Bochs Bios Rev 1.171 by sshwarts (It took my computer 12 hours.)

-Copy the .IMG Made from Bochs/Qemu to your PS3's HDD

-Open Terminal where the Vista IMG is located

-type qemu -hda vista.img -m 256 -L "Location to Rev 1.171 directory, Drag n Drop" -cpu pentium3

It will take about 25 min to fully boot (network connection and audio show up)

    Sony wont let people access the PS3's GPU, therefore Everything is supremely slow.

  • As much as I agree ...

    As much as I agree with logical support that the Xbox 360 is the superior console, putting Vista on a PS3 is a fun learning or hobby for some folks.

  • The PS3 is more ...

    The PS3 is more than capable of running Vista. It's being emulated thorough Linux, so in reality it's running 2 operating systems. The PS3 is far powerfuller than your average Home PC. It has the most advanced processor to date.

  • You have no F**king ...

    You have no F**king idea what you're on about. "512 gigs" of RAM? You mean 512MB of RAM. You also need a good processor and graphics card to "Do loads of S**t " or "Play big games". Come back when you have a clue. Asshat.

  • Linux has an option ...

    Linux has an option to extend the ram onto multiple usb sticks, its some weird setting, but its not really worth doing as this is mostly just a proof of concept. And it really wouldn't speed it up that much as pc3200 ram(slow in today's standards) moves data at 3.2GBs a second, while usb has a theoretical capacity of 60MB/s, so it would be about 53 times slower, than old standard ram.
