ZeroGame v0.50 Multi-Console Emulator for PS3 Linux

Submitted by greg; February 16, 2010

While you're waiting ZeroJay (aka Jason Carter) has pieced together an optimized/streamlined MAME-like bundle for those with an OtherOS-enabled PS3. Slim owners, sorry -- them's the breaks. What is ZeroGame? Here's a little background quoting ZeroJay:

Over the last year or so, I've been tweaking and changing my installation of Yellow Dog Linux on my PS3 so that it would be more emulation-friendly. My goal was to get my install as close as I could to the friendliness of the Xbox emulators, with a game list and a few button presses and the game of your choice is up on the screen. It's been a long journey, but a fruitful one. ZeroGame is a bash shell script that will take a freshly installed copy of Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 on your PS3 and with a few minutes and occasional input from you will give you one good emulation box that you can boot up whenever you feel like playing some classics.

ZeroGame includes emulators for many classic consoles: Game Boy, including the Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Colour, SEGA Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Turbo Grafx 16, and of course MAME itself. Take a look-see:

What do you need?

Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 freshly installed on your PS3
A working internet connection
An HDTV that supports 1080p or 720p (480p/i and 576p/i support in the future)
A wired USB keyboard
One or more Sony Sixaxis/Dualshock3 controllers

Follow the install guide (zerogamereadme.txt) once you have the prerequisites covered. That file also details other things of importance. I suggest you give it a once over regardless. Good luck! Download: ZeroGame v0.50 Yellow Dog Linux 6.2 PPC - source: the zerogame project

Tags: Emulators, OtherOS, PS3 Linux

if you follow step by step in the guide if will work fine HOWEVER.. after you perform the "yum update" you NEED to restart before performing the next step.. It doesn't tell you to but you NEED too.. if you don't do this, the controller will not be able to sync properly since you JUST updated the bluetooth controller. after this, THEN you can start to download the zerogame package in the readme.. also if your gonna run the game in 1080p your gonna have to copy the *lay files to the 1080pb folder since for some reason they are missing in the 1080pb folder but are in the 1080p folder. (this is what gives you that blue background while shifting through the games). also the nes select button is incorrectly mapped to controller 2 so you gonna have to fix that too.. look it up on the forums.. and after you install the zerogame, to install the games, hit ctrl+alt+f1 then type "cd /etc/" enter then type "gdm stop". after this you get back to the root command and from here just type "root" enter and then type your password and you should be back in yellowdog and should be able to navigate to the rom's directory and install the files from a flash drive.. your gonna have to mount the flash drive before you can open up so figure it out.. not too hard.. okay later

# Wormcult 2010-03-05 01:58

ok i installed YDL and i got to the kboot prompt. i entered the url thats supposed to download the emu installer and it said it wasnt a valid link. now what? and also, is this how its going to be with linux? this kboot screen and constantly having to use specific terminal commands for everything? or is there some GUI i have yet to install that makes it all simple and easy to use?

I'm told i have to choose custom when i pick to format my hdd but i don't get that option i only get format yes no then after picking yes i get quick format, full format i can't find anyway of allotting memory for other os, could it be that its not possible on my ps3??????? as it was brand new in mid december, can somebody please shed some light on my problem.....Thanks.

# peepee 2010-04-01 11:31

aww shucks darnit if i new emulators were available on ps3 i never wouldve sold my 60gb. crap now i gotta find a old used one again and its so hard now.

# Tenspeed 2010-04-05 06:16

Hi, I'm having the same problem/issue. Have you found anything out since your posting? I've been googling all morning, and your the first one i've seen with the same problem.

# AntiFanBoys 2010-09-15 12:26

Oh God what fanboys around here. Both the PS3 and Xbox360 are good consoles and both have good games so stop tryin to say shit about any of them because you are all fanboys. Try to play both consoles and see that both of them are good.

# Japik 2011-01-29 03:41

(Try to play both consoles and see that both of them are good.)

Totally agree with you tho I only own 360 but play ps3 at my mates and I dont see the advantage of either one over the other apart from bluray. Graphically both are on par so stop the flame wars unless your a flamer then that explains all the rants.

# Stacey Stimson 2011-01-29 17:15

Nice great content keep it up :)

# Jim Bethey 2011-01-29 17:17

Love everything about this TV except for the sound. Volume sometimes not adequate or needs to be cranked up to hear what is being said. Great picture, ease of use and hookup and is nice looking as well. Would definitely recommend.

# Anh Colcher 2011-01-29 19:23

We already had a 58 inch plasma in the family room, but we needed to replace the old Sony CRT in the bedroom. We wanted a 1080p resolution, but we were finding it difficult to get that in a smaller screen size.

# Felicia Bracamonte 2011-01-30 00:29

Wow this information was extremely useful for my homework, thanks!

# Andrew A. Sailer 2011-01-30 06:10

As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you

# Jules Cumpton 2011-01-30 06:45

I shopped for this for my own Christmas gift so my husband didn't have too much input but when it was up and working he was more than impressed. The picture is the best either one of has seen. There was just one problem. The TV had a square type sound cable that did not match up with typical three pronged cable on our Bose speakers. Now we are in the process of calling both companies to see what they would suggest. I would rate it a perfect 5 had it not been for the sound cable.

This was an absolute traumatic case in my position, but coming across this specialised way you processed the issue made me to leap for joy. I am grateful for your help and even hope you recognize what an amazing job you were accomplishing training most people all through a blog. More than likely you've never encountered all of us.

Get two plants, and set both of them in two assorted locations. One flora should be put in a box with a igniter so it can grow. The different being should be put in a acherontic box so it give not colour.

# Akiko Ragin 2011-02-09 20:02

I may have a few screws loose, but for the longest time I have been thinking that perhaps the biggest favor we could do for the poor populace in Africa would be to kill off all the dangerous wild life. Africa is full of lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, black mambas and many other dangerous animals. All of these animals must force people away from enormous amounts of resources as well as making life excedingly dangerous. How free can poor subsistence farmers become bigger when even moving around the country is inhibited by an open zoo? I would also knock off every alligator on earth too (two legs good; four legs bad). They are a danger to children (probably not you) and pigs that the farmers might own. Think of how much more money you could make if domesticated herds could use the same vast natural resources used by useless to poor people's wild herds and their natural predators. I am perfectly serious about this even if I might be crazy, ill informed, or both.
