[ydl-gen] PS3: low resolution text console (4th posting attempt)

[John Goche]

Thank you for your reply. However I am still encountering the problem
that when I turn the PS3 on the screen is a blank blue screen. I have
never seen a proper PS3 screen anywhere thus far and I am not sure
what to do to achieve this.

Thanks,

John Goche
