- Thread starter Carl
- Start date
Does it? I couldn't get more than 240p when I tried it.
Can anybody try to run Futeremark's Peacekeeper browser test on the updated PS3?

Any idea on when the update's gonna show up on the PS3 US site so I can get it via storage media? My PS3 can't download shit worth shit. :|

Better yet, Final Fantasy VII remake playable on Flash over the browser!
All part of the plan.

Ok, enough with the Jeff Rigby shit.
What are the stealth updates and what does it break?

You can call up the XMB while the browser is open.

Well finally an update to the broswer ...now give me the option to have more than 6 tabs and i'll be perfect ..
or maybe a simplified broswer version for in-game (

i know i'm dreaming
Yup, it's a webkit browser now. Keep in mind only the browser's been upgraded, the flash plugin hasn't really changed and is still on 9.0, I checked. So youtube in 240p only, etc.
Javascript might be much faster, but the drawing operations are apparently done in software on the PPU (as predicted), because it's slow as hell scrolling around.

What is the link to that PS3 Youtube HD again? I cant find it on Google.

Thats the one indeed. Thanks!
This should be the number one hit on Google when searching for PS3 Youtube HD, but for some reason it isnt.lol.
Anyone knows if there's a thread here in GAF containing the very first FFVII Remake begging/request post?
148, 1/7 HTML5 tests (the sprite one worked). Lots of "codec not supported" messages popping up, which we knew already, webgl doesn't work, and it's slow as hell at drawing operations which I'm sure surprises no one that's used the new browser. There's probably not any kind of hardware drawing acceleration at this point.

It worked ok but there's alot of unsupported stuff.
Can you see this?-

Yay!!
Tested with FGTVLive
Thanks guys. So its basically runs like 2009 Atom netbook with Firefox 3.
Yea, it was hard to expect any kind of hardware acceleration. Its 2006 hardware after all and browser is running on very tight memory budget. Still, there is a clearly still some room for improvement here.

If it's a plugin, I think I can safely say no.
Thats more an issue with the Flash Player than the actual browser, what i meant is that it doesnt freezes anymore.
At least for the one or two minutes ive tried.
Thats the one indeed. Thanks!
Strange, number one hit for me when I searched it.
But everyone complaining about 240p YT should use http://www.ps3youtube.com/ instead of regular YT.

It looks like it's only using pixman not Cairo yet which would figure since WebGL isn't supported yet. If you zoom 100% you see the Pixman/Truetype2 (halftone AA) and with Cairo it should look nearly as good at full zoom.
My understanding was CairoGL which included Pixman and Glitz was supposed to be openGL rendered. Pixman as a separate library is something different from the descriptions of the GTKwebkit OpenGL Cairo-Pixman
So androvsky, you think this is a quick and dirty patchjob to get a working browser (without GTKtoolkit or Cairo or Gstreamer or glib) or is this the final browser front end but we might get some more features down the road? Hint: Remember it's a .1 upgrade.
I tried it, and I've used the site before, but none of the videos work. I'm getting some sort of "accessed denied" error message.
Again: This means nothing. Not in Sony language.

Yeah its still a shame that youtube does not work properly as it only gives crappy 240p quality as an option. So really its no better than the horrible XL tube.
and that site is a ducttape solution thats bloated with ads, i don't want to go through 5 steps of instructions to get a single video to work in HD :/
You only have to do those steps about once a month or so, it remembers the cookie.
My wireless stereo headset stopped working after this update.
Do I have to thank Jeff Rigby for this also?

It must be my Internet, but I cannot get this update to finish downloading. Every time I try, it gets to about 18 percent and says there is an error. I've never had this problem before...
Well, looking forward to the improved browser whenever I can access it.

I only get youtube.net as a result on Google, but that is a completely different site :\
I had always hoped for in game browser support.. where you would get updated recipes/schematics/treasure hunts/etc from the web for information to be used in game.
Go to an in game terminal, bring up whatever site is related to the game, interact in chat rooms, bbs style even get your info or passcode left behind for you almost demon's souls like and bam, continue on your single player adventure.
Or linking Resistance.net to Resistance 3 via in game browser.
Ahhh to foolishly dream

Props to Jeff for not letting the haters get to him. I was one of the few Gaffers that admire is research and contribution. This is just the beginning......
Update seems to have mess up my controller. >_<
Has anyone had any issues with the update?
My controller randomly activates XMB, D-pad right doesnt works now and left randomly works. left analogue stick works and doesnt work at times. Pressing both sticks might activate the XMB. Controller turns off and on.

Hmm, unfortunately the closest we have come to your dream so far is stuff like Burnout Paradise, where you had to wait until "commercial message of the day" loaded up and tried to sell you shit before you could play. It was plainly a web page though, had those PS3 browser fingerprints all over it.
EDIT: and to be fair, it did have some game related content too. My memory is hazy!
Try resetting your controller, theres a small hole on the bottom where you can insert a pin to push a button.
Not working either keeps doing the stuff -_-

I can never get that site to work. I followed the instructions and i still see the green text.
Edit- Im dumb. All this time i was copying the page instead oflink.
The site runs real slow now after this update though. Many sites i visit run a little bit jankier. Is it the memory used for this update?

I agree 100%.
The browser definately renders a lot of websites better now. There seems to be some refresh issue though if you scroll up and down. The previous browser crashed my ps3 frequently so i wonder if that issue is resolved too.
Such a pity we still can't select a better quality for youtube. I always hoped that one day i could stream movie or game trailers with youtube but the 240p resolution looks crap.
I wonder if maybe we will see more updates for the browser in the future. It took them a good while to do something about the browser but maybe the new browser (engine?) will allow for more frequent updates.
