Hacking questions about psxitarch linux

[xunsus]

So i'm on 5.05 and i use x-project 1.5.5
i'm very interested in the linux loader and what it can emulate (as in wii and maybe wii u)
but since there are multiple ones i was wondering wich was better for emulations (VRAM 1-2 or 3)
also since they require a usb stick how much does it need to be
finally i konw this is unlikely but has anyone tried breath of the wild on it with all the fps patches and all and is it playable
thanks

From personal experience, a full Debian Gnome desktop is around 7~8 GB of system files. I wouldn't use less than a 16 or 32 GB USB stick, preferably a fast USB3 model.

finally i konw this is unlikely but has anyone tried breath of the wild on it with all the fps patches and all and is it playable

You can find on YouTube (horribly filmed) clips of people allegedly using Cemu on PS4 Pro, so it's probably feasible but don't expect high FPS. As a rule of thumb, I would first try to install it on a regular desktop, then attempt on a PS4, unless you have a lot of patience and high stress tolerance (I lack both)...

Alright thanks for the info
as for cemu ihear you can emulate the low end games (2D stuff) still worth a try
still hope somone answers which linux loader is best (i have a ps4 fat by the way)

Install Psxitarch V2 Linux with the VRAM2 or VRAM1 loader and then after that use the VRAM3 Loader to run linux when it is installed.

The VRAM3 loader loads linux with 3GB video RAM and 5GB system RAM.
The VRAM2 loader loads linux with 2GB video RAM and 6GB system RAM.
The VRAM1 loader loads linux with 1GB video RAM and 7GB system RAM.

Do not use the VRAM3 to install linux.

hope this helps.

Also The faster the USB drive the better. A solid state USB3 would be ideal.

OK that's all i need to know (the rest is on modded warfair youtube channel)
Thanks for the help

Question, I installed psxitarch fine and it boots up but there's no option for games emulators or steam on the top left. What do I do?

Why not VRAM3 ??

Why not VRAM3 ??

I'm not 100% sure.
Since the beginning of Psxitarch it was said by the creators not to use VRAM3 to install. I just pass on their advice.

I think the install process requires 6GB minimum of Sytem RAM to install.
I think I remember trying to install with the 3GB Vram and it said "Not enough RAM availble"


EDIT:
I just checked in the 'install-psxitarch.sh' script inside the 'initramfs.cpio.gz' file and there are the following lines:

if [ $? -ne  0 ]; then
    echo "No enough space in RAM availble!"
    echo "Use this payload to install psxitarch: https://psxita.it/linux-loader-vram1"

Go to 'jwm Config' in the menu and there should be something like 'refresh menu' or 'reload menu'.

Very useful information. Thanks.

By the way. I read somewhere:

P$4 5.05/Offline/ PSXIT (ARCH LINUX) V.2/ vram3/

So I am not sure if it is possible.

I just checked out that video and it works there because Linux has already been installed.

You can use VRAM3 perfectly fine once Linux has been installed, Its just when you are initially installing it when you cannot use it and you Must use vram1 or vram2.

As a test I tried again to install PsxitarchV2 usnig the vram3 loader and it failed with this error:
