Hello ,
I just compiled rpcs3 and it works
I own few PS3/fat
here is my cfg

Anyway thanks guys

Regarding Ethernet, every game/homebrew I have seen so far just uses the sys_net module, which is just a wrapper of the lv2 syscalls http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/LV2_Functio...t_Syscalls
We haven't implemented those lv2 syscalls either, but we are high-level emulating that module as well (it works just like "sys/socket.h" on Linux, just with few differences SCE introduced just to fuck with us). And it actually works fine for some games. For example, I remember some FTP server homebrew (there was a thread by @ssshadow about it afaik) that you can run on RPCS3, so that any computer in your LAN can access to /dev_hdd0/ via FTP. Sending files is slow as fuck though. Big Grin

Great , may tcpdump be useful to debug things ?

So yeah, connectivity between PS3s and RPCS3 vía LAN should be possible. However, due to RPCS3s slowness and poor RSX emulation, among several other issues, make that impractical for now. Tongue

Another question i have is i own few ps3 (fat 40/60) sata hard drives is it possible to use those as raw device for example ?

Nope, we do not emulate the harddrive encryption (it uses per console keys if I remember right)

is it possible to imagine something as using hdd studio to produce some sort of flat file
that can be an HDD image file and mount it as a regular drive or even fake it as an usb drive in rpcs3 ?

It may sound absurd but is it possible to build and run rpcs3 on big iron ?
(eg sparc64/mips64)

not without modifications

But that wouldn't serve too much of a purpose, inaccuracy and incompletion is what our primary issues are, additional hardware will sadly not solve that.

Of course, but what i mean is basically:
More power to understand more complex mechanisms Smile
8RISC CPU (8mb each) / 64gb RAM / 6 x72gb FC disks is certainly more powerful than modern PC Big Grin

Imagine a (really) powerful host , an attached usb to sata adapter with a ps3 sata hdd .
wouldn't it be useful for some purposes ?

What? I doubt there is anything important not understood about the ps3, and even if there was, how would access to a fast computer help?

This is all useless for all practical intents and purposes.

No, not at all. Technically slower than a normal SATA SSD too, not that disc I/O is important anyway.

FC disks are faster than sata drive (not SSD) at constant rate of 15krpm ...

Still fucking useless for rpcs3 and most people in general.

Lol so i will dd my own ps3 hdd (40gb) to my 6 FC array and try to handle an entire image file in ram .
I would have to add a module to your code to handle the dd'ed file Undecided
Anyway thanks for your help
