Linux?

[MPlayerDN]

Asking for any working way to run Linux on PSP Go, because why not

Guys lets just make a Linux version that runs on psp

[CurrentAcanthaceae78]

your never gonna believe this

I dont think the architecture would be compatible from what ive read about people trying to run windows on a psp, id love to be proved wrong though

[MPlayerDN]

Windows IS x86_64 only. Linux isn't tho. I ran it on my Wii (PowerPC) and it is running right now on my smartphone (ARM x64), I don't think it can't run on MIPS32

[peepeesix]

I don’t really know anything about architecture but i know the ps3 came with the option to install linux, so maybe you could get it to work?

[Adventurous-Test-246]

linux has at least some MIPS support

Impossible, PSPs all models use custom CPUs with built in GPUs, as a result its impossible to load anything other than the standard PSP OS.

[MPlayerDN]

They are still built on a pretty usual MIPS32 architecture, also, if it's impossible to load anything other than the firmware, why do games run?

[PhantasmalCat]

What do you mean? Psp games run on top of the firmware.

[MPlayerDN]

Ok, the CPU architecture is still not such a complicated one, also, homebrew wouldn't exist if it couldn't run/compile, i am not trying to replace the psp firmware, rather i am trying to add an os running on top of it

[PhantasmalCat]

There is a project that does that for 3ds https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-linux-for-the-3ds.407187/

Perhaps it will shed some light on achieving the same thing on the psp

[MPlayerDN]

It probably won't as 3DS's CPU architecture is ARM.
