After Effects On PS3?

Postby Ardak2 » 06 Nov 2010, 21:01

Hello, I would like to know that would it be possible to run Windows through emulator on Linux installed to PS3, and on that Windows run After Effects, and utilize the processing power of PS3 that way? And another question, is the hypervisor protection already been cracked to unleash the full power of the RSX?

Yes, using qemu's full machine emulation.

No, not unless you were running a really old version -- then maybe and slowly? Using qemu to emulate an x86 PC running Windows you get the speed of a 90Mhz Pentium at best, and without any video acceleration.
