PS3 homebrew is possible through yabasic

YouTube - PS3 running homebrew without Swapmagic explained

It will only work with 40 60 and older 80gb ps3's because you need ps2 compat..

yabasic homebrew is extremely limited. There's a reason it didn't catch on on the PS2. And IIRC the disc wasn't even supplied with the slimline.

That would explain why the psp port has such low download numbers.
When was yabasic made. is it like ps2's version of lua except official.

It's a BASIC interpreter for Windows and Unix.

I don't think this is the kind of homebrew we're expecting. The fact it's using the PS2 backward compatibility means it's using the EE not the CELL for homebrew. Plus, the majority of units are the 40GB or 80GB without backwards compatibility.

You can never expect anything good to come out of BASIC. It's even worse than lua.

You can already have all the homebrew you want on any PS3 model thru linux.

But it's all my computer teacher knows. How else will he ever hack the PS3?

 

[BlackBurd]

I just realised yabasic is almost the same as basic and freebasic.

But with swap magic you can still use ps2 homebrew. Can anything good come of that.

Wouldn't this be more like "PS2 HB running on PS3 in emu mode"?

Pretty much.
