Some experiments on setting the t-bit on SSD installed in PS3 might prove interesting. Time for system transfer and playing around in OtherOS soon I guess.
I just don't get Loonixes. Badly written and designed (hack upon hack upon hack, with nobody really on the know how the kernel works anymore.) Documentation - in the rare cases written one exists - is rubbish or even misleading. Ubuntu seems to be worst offender.
When I used to game on PC, I'd pirate PC games all the time, and some yes would crash often, maybe they were bad rips or something. I've had my SeriesX for over 2 years now and never have had a game crash yet, or any game breaking bugs. I have seen weird bugs like NPC walking thru floors or walls, but not often.
@BigOnYa PC games like to crash, satisfactory crashes every like 8 hours for me, there's some kinda leak with unreal engine objects so it hits the max object count and crashes
and minecraft had a memory leak, over time the game slowed down more and more and i saw the ram usage slowly increasing, eventually it would crash if i left the game on all night
There is also the issue of people learning programming on languages with garbage collectors - so when faced with C/C++ they just allocate memory and do not even realise they have to free the heap as well...
@lwiz, The issues with noobies who are trying to learn any programming language or modding a console, is that they say "Any x experts out here?". If they at least asked the damn question, then it wouldn't be riddled with confusing nonsense. I cannot fathom how nobody even has the ability to think when following instructions.
There are also tutorials and books that you can read which gives you a better understanding on the subject, even if you don't get it the first time, it does help to boost you up the learning curve.
I've just spent hours making new flashcart labels, one that is for a DS Fire Card. I have some good experience when it comes to art design. 7+ years learning Photoshop, now onto GIMP, it's a lot easier to facilitate.
I have to say that I prefer free/open source over commercial/proprietary garbage with questionable EULA and 10000 integrated anti-features (like spyware) of the kind "No problem, you can turn this off."
