Swos on PS3?

super_hoops1967 · 19 December 2007, 19:40

I want to get swos working on my ps3...i'm guessing that if i installed linux on my ps3 and put an amiga emulator on it. it would work?

Has anyone successfully got swos 96/97 working on their PS3?

I've got the original PC version of SWOS 96/97 if there's an easier way of running it with that?

cheers for any help

I can't tell you much about Sensi on a PS3, but the PC version works fine with the DOSBox emulator.

nice so if i install dosbox on linux on my ps3 and just put the original disc in my ps3 it'll work?

oh yeah its ubuntu linux that i've downloaded as i've only got a standard t.v so yellow dog linux doesnt work apparently.

I don't know, but it works fine on a Windows PC. Tried it some month ago.

When linux is running fine on a PS3, why not. Give it a try, with this gentoo linux port of DOSBox.

If you are interested in getting the Amiga version going you may want to take a look at this -

super_hoops1967 · 20 December 2007, 02:48

sorry for the bad shots.

Retro-Nerd · 20 December 2007, 02:50

Maybe some digi-cam pics from your TV/PS3, running SWOS?

super_hoops1967 · 20 December 2007, 02:52

do you not trust me or something lol. brb

Retro-Nerd · 20 December 2007, 02:54

I trust you, but it would be nice to see some SWOS pics running on a PS3.

super_hoops1967 · 20 December 2007, 03:02

ok here you go

Retro-Nerd · 20 December 2007, 03:08

Nice pics!! Can you switch DOSBox to fullscreen?

super_hoops1967 · 20 December 2007, 03:35

no i could only run it in full windowed mode, wouldnt go to full screen unfortunately.

might do on a better t.v. i'm using a crappy 28" widescreen standard tele so the resolution is crap on it & it won't let me change the resolution.

I cant get it to configure the ps3 joypad either which sucks

Retro-Nerd · 20 December 2007, 03:46

You should swith back to a 4:3 aspect ratio, the image is stretched (or zoomed?). You have black bars then, but the image looks better.

The game uses only one button, iirc. You PS3 joypad isn't working?
