Quoting directly from IRC: [18:22] (Figarocool): hi! [18:23] (Figarocool): is someone online? [18:23] (@gigaherz): yes [18:23] (Figarocool): you a developer? [18:24] (Figarocool): a loader was developed for a few days to load linux on ps4 [18:24] (Figarocool): https://github.com/fail0verflow/ps4-linux [18:25] (Figarocool): would it be possible to port this to start rectos? it would be something of great visibility for the reactos project [18:25] (Figarocool): loader [18:25] (Figarocool): https://github.com/valentinbreiz/PS4-Linux-Loader [18:25] (Figarocool): on firmware 4.05 [18:25] (Figarocool): ps4 runs on x86 [18:26] (Figarocool): would it be complicated to do this for you? [18:26] (@gigaherz): I don't own a ps4 and I'm not an expert in the reactos booting process, so I'm not the right person to ask [18:27] (Figarocool): could you open a discussion about this? [18:28] (@gigaherz): well this is IRC, just talking about it is already a discussion [18:28] (@gigaherz): but if you want something more "official" [18:28] (@gigaherz): you can post this information on an email to the ros-dev mailing list [18:28] (@gigaherz): (subscribe to the mailing list if you want to see the replies) [18:29] (Thedarkb1): You probably could. [18:33] (CatButts): hmmm [18:33] (CatButts): unlike PC, PS4 is single hardware configuration [18:33] (CatButts): getting ReactOS on a PS4? hmmm, that wouldn't hurt [18:34] (CatButts): [19:25] <Figarocool> it would be something of great visibility for the reactos project [18:34] (Figarocool): check: https://github.com/valentinbreiz/PS4-Linux-Loader [18:34] (Figarocool): loader to load linux (x86) and driver [18:35] (Figarocool): however, since reactos and open would be a great novelty for the knowledge of the os [18:35] (Figarocool): so it could give a lot of novelties in the media aspect [18:35] (Figarocool): you could think about it [18:36] (@gigaherz): the loading process of NT is very different from linux [18:36] (@gigaherz): but as I said, because I'm not the right person to ask [18:36] (@gigaherz): it would be best if you put the information on the mailing list [18:36] (@gigaherz): for all the people interested to read [18:36] (Figarocool): could you open the discussion on the mail? [18:37] (@gigaherz): I think it would be best if someone who is actually interested in it would do so [18:38] (Figarocool): I also say this because of the media aspect [18:39] (Figarocool): since they are now installing linux to use the console as a PC [18:39] (Figarocool): this would be great using reactos [18:39] (Figarocool): being x86 all windows games and more would be compatible
