oh, and you won't find anyone here that can actually explain what really is supplied with the devkit unless they want to break their DNA they have signed (but frankly I don't think you would really find anyone that has the devkit to look through these forums).. sorry, but your typo made me laugh lo...

if you get quite some annoying bug building the toolchain like warnings because the return type was ignored, and those warnings are threaded like errors, it's probably due to the newest version of gcc (4.4.1 or somethin). fixing all those tiny issues takes really lot of time, I gave up after 2h. a s...

thx for sharing that, that's frickin cool. now all major platforms are supported by opencl, easy to write code once and get all the power from all kind of hardware.
I wonder if that will be also part of the cell sdk for ps3, just seen IBM server support so far.

Re: Sony explains PS3 Slim's loss of Linux option

Coding drivers too expensive? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/28/sony_ps3_slim_linux_install_loss/ Considering that most Sony engineers are on salary and probably spend most of their time playing minesweeper, the "cost" of drivers is just another excuse. Particularly when you realize...

Oh and rapso I call bullshit on the CCC presentation, the 360 was hacked for piracy, without that the initial stuff couldn't have even been booted.

rapso, I'm sorry I don't have the time to engage in a full discussion on this but your try is pretty good. * Linux can be streamlined to an embedded profile, but at the cost of many man hours initially and continually in maintenance.

Because when you look at what people really want for a homebrew development, Linux would not satisfy their needs.

Why porting another OS if you can use linux?
I think the point was to have something lightweight from scratch dedicated for this one and only purpose: homebrew gamedev on ps3.

The PS3 design is so refined that anything outside the otherOS address space is pretty much attack vectors for piracy. Finding anything for 'homebrew' outside otherOS environment and publishing it will be a certain prelude to piracy because of the way the PS3 is designed. that is and was always the...

I think they frown upon most reversing talk here. Actually, this is untrue. The intent behind the reversing is important to consider.

Under some logic it makes it cheaper to not boot Linux but still have the same hardware, any theory how that is feasible?

I had a thought on a legitimate reason Sony would have for pulling OTHEROS from the Slim: they cut the size of the flash rom again. The original PS3 had 256 MB of flash in it. Current PS3's have only 128 MB of flash. Maybe they cut the new Slims to 64 MB of flash. Remember that the OTHEROS loader i...

usually you had to have signed a deal with a publisher to get in touch with sony or at least have released some games, it's all about reputation... and of course you had to have enough money to pay for those devkits. nowadays it's slightly simpler, if you're an indie and you've released some games, ...
