Rebug Team Releases Boot OtherOS++ and OtherOS Prep Tool

If you've been craving some Linux action on your PS3, the Rebug team has released a few tools that will make it much easier. The two tools are known as Boot OtherOS and OtherOS Prep Tool. The Boot OtherOS tool does exactly as it's name implies (Boots OtherOS) with one easy click. The OtherOS Prep Tool is used to prepare your system vflash and installs petitboot, making your system ready to install Linux.

Boot OtherOS++ does what it says. One click easy.

OtherOS Prep Tool is used to prepare your system vflash and install petitboot ready to install Linux.

IT DOES NOT INSTALL LINUX. For tutorials and videos on how to install Linux head over to gitbrew.org. OtherOS Prep Tool is based off of graf_chokolo’s and glevand’s source and is a one or two step solution to getting petitboot up and running and on your way to installing Linux on to USB or PS3 Hard Disk. At the moment it only supports 3.55 but we will add support for lower firmware soon.
