 - PlayStation Portable had pandora battery recovery mode long undiscovered - (Pandora battery’s EEPROM serial number makes the boot ROM enter service mode and load the Initial Program Loader (IPL) from MemoryStick). It was discovered because modified battery and MagicGate MemoryStick were still inside when someone had received it from manufacturer repair. <insert good link> \\
 It came up with the [[https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/Nintendo_PlayStation|"Nintendo PlayStation"]] project, a CD-Drive for upcoming SNES-console and became it's own console by Sony. \\

 - All PS3 with CFW are able to run backwards-compatible PSX and PS2 games with official emulator. Phat PS3 has PS2 coprocessor.\\
 - the CFW story behind PS3 Cell (+PSP) hacking is entertaining *keyword golden firmware, golden times*; fully hacked; read the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable_homebrew|short version on wiki]]\\
+- PS3 had OtherOS to boot Linux (no RSX GPU acceleration). The U.S. Air Force even built a PS3 “supercomputer cluster”. OtherOS was removed with FW 3.21 (April 2010) due to security concerns: George Hotz (Geohot) gained hypervisor-level access through it. Sony removing OtherOS lead to a lawsuit in US (and lost it) and actually accelerated hacking efforts of PS3. Hacks introduced OtherOS++ with unlocked RSX GPU but there are no 3D drivers for it. \\
+- There is [[https://github.com/CodeAsm/PS1Linux|Linux on PS1]] since 2019. There is official and unofficial Linux for PS2 (but no GPU acceleration, framebuffer only). \\
 - The Logo of PS1 is a standing 'P' with a lying 'S'. \\
