→OtherOS: similar to linux distributions, i think we should create a bsd page.
===OtherOS===
:[[Wikipedia:OtherOS]]
OtherOS is a feature of early versions of the PlayStation 3 video game console, allowing user installed software, such as many [[:Category:Operating_systems|distributions of Linux or BSD ]] in a separate partition as long as they supported PowerPC. The feature was removed since system firmware update 3.21, released on April 1, 2010. Software running in the OtherOS environment has access to 6 of the 7 SPEs. Sony implemented a hypervisor restricting access to the RSX. However either thru a security vulnerability before FW 2.10 or by using some form of OtherOS++ CFW full access to the RSX, and/or the seventh SPE and other system resources is possible. See [[Recommended_linux_distros#Wide_range_of_platforms_focused]] or [https://t2sde.org/hardware/console/Sony/PS3/ T2 SDE PS3 page] for more information.
