Ahh. I think it was 3.41 you could put linux or other homebrews on it. Maybe 3.40 been awhile man. Honestly not sure anymore!
Because even though we could still install another OS on the most recent CFW, Sony had disabled the RSX chip if you install Linux, so no hardware acceleration. I don't think that it was disabled on v3.41 and prior when the other OS feature was still natively supported. I'll give it try and see if running emulators with Linux installed works just fine.

Oh, I actually did not know that. I ran emulators on mine. I also ran emulators on my Wii back in the day. Let me know how it goes and I'll update the thread some.
NVM, I just found out that it needs to be OFW v3.21 and older. Sony had already disabled and removed the other OS feature by then. Running the homebrew emulators on CFW is hit or miss with the games that I want to play, especially MAME ROMs. And having my PS2 games backed up on ISO on the PS3 is pointless for me on CFW because there's no way to unmount a ISO like CodeBreaker and then mount the actual game ISO with the cheats. CFW also breaks the PS3's ability to read my actual CodeBreaker disc and no one can tell me why that is LOL. I have a CECHA01 so it's hardware backwards compatible.
