Is legit. Not sure is ready now, but you probably load it thru Bare-metal loader. So it mean that Vita OS is not even booted when running it.

Anyway latest commits for linux loader are quite old. Not sure that is still active project.

Edit: But of course will be best if @xerpi explain how it (gonna?) work.

<sandungas> xerpi http://www.psx-place.com/threads/xerpis-vita-linux-loader.16561/
<xerpi> yeah, lost too many hours on that shit
<xerpi> (on trying to get linux running)
<sandungas> is instalable at this point ?
<xerpi> no
<xerpi> I've talked a lot about this on freenode #vitasdk
<xerpi> if nobody outside noticed it's not my fault
<xerpi> doesn't help that it doesn't work heh
<xerpi> basically I'm having some kind of stale data on cache issues
<xerpi> so linux frezees at a random point after it enabled the MMU and data cache
<sandungas> well, it would not be funny if it was not a challengue
<sandungas> and the concept is how kozarovv mentioned in the forum ?... by using a custom bootloader or something like that ?
<sandungas> or is repurposing some parts of the official vita bootchain ?
<xerpi> uses the same trick as baremetal-loader
<xerpi> triggers a soft reset
<sandungas> oki, sounds good

@sandungas maybe in the future will be running android? xD

Finally I've managed to get it working. Check the HENkaku #development Discord channel for more info. (btw I've moved the loader to github: xerpi/vita-linux-loader)

This is really cool man. Im surprised no one has worked on this at all for vita. Why dont you have a dev badge @xerpi
