Hello ,
I just compiled rpcs3 and it works
I own few PS3/fat
here is my cfg

Just wanted to know how to start homebrewing
is it possible to communicate with real ps3 with usb / eth ?
Anyway thanks guys

Regarding Ethernet, every game/homebrew I have seen so far just uses the sys_net module, which is just a wrapper of the lv2 syscalls http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/LV2_Functio...t_Syscalls
We haven't implemented those lv2 syscalls either, but we are high-level emulating that module as well (it works just like "sys/socket.h" on Linux, just with few differences SCE introduced just to fuck with us). And it actually works fine for some games. For example, I remember some FTP server homebrew (there was a thread by @ssshadow about it afaik) that you can run on RPCS3, so that any computer in your LAN can access to /dev_hdd0/ via FTP. Sending files is slow as fuck though. 
Great , may tcpdump be useful to debug things ?
So yeah, connectivity between PS3s and RPCS3 vía LAN should be possible. However, due to RPCS3s slowness and poor RSX emulation, among several other issues, make that impractical for now.

Another question i have is i own few ps3 (fat 40/60) sata hard drives is it possible to use those as raw device for example ?

Nope, we do not emulate the harddrive encryption (it uses per console keys if I remember right)

is it possible to imagine something as using hdd studio to produce some sort of flat file
that can be an HDD image file and mount it as a regular drive or even fake it as an usb drive in rpcs3 ?

It may sound absurd but is it possible to build and run rpcs3 on big iron ?
(eg sparc64/mips64)

not without modifications
But that wouldn't serve too much of a purpose, inaccuracy and incompletion is what our primary issues are, additional hardware will sadly not solve that.

Of course, but what i mean is basically:
More power to understand more complex mechanisms 
8RISC CPU (8mb each) / 64gb RAM / 6 x72gb FC disks is certainly more powerful than modern PC
Imagine a (really) powerful host , an attached usb to sata adapter with a ps3 sata hdd .
wouldn't it be useful for some purposes ?

What? I doubt there is anything important not understood about the ps3, and even if there was, how would access to a fast computer help?

This is all useless for all practical intents and purposes.

No, not at all. Technically slower than a normal SATA SSD too, not that disc I/O is important anyway.

FC disks are faster than sata drive (not SSD) at constant rate of 15krpm ...

Still fucking useless for rpcs3 and most people in general.

Lol so i will dd my own ps3 hdd (40gb) to my 6 FC array and try to handle an entire image file in ram .
I would have to add a module to your code to handle the dd'ed file 
Anyway thanks for your help
