DevkitPRO Addons v0.03 for PS3
To quote: The DevKit PRO has been put together by tons of his work as well as from the work of others particularly in PSL1GHT sources, of course. Well, that's how the all new PSL1GHT-V2 comes to light.
[01:08] its a devkit with psl1ghtv2, using an installer on windows
[01:08] psl1ght-v2 we are still working to port some things
[01:09] but the rest is rock solid
To make it clear this is an excerpt from DevkitPRO-Addons git.
This project aims to create a set of addons for devkitPRO, to be released in an installer application for windows and possibly linux later.
DevkitWIN:
A customized install of mingw right inside the devkitpro folder and preconfigured, for compiling or cross compiling in new toolchains or tools.
DevkitPS3 comprising of :
PPU toolchain
SPU toolchain
PSL1ght-v2
PPU Extended Libraries
SPU Extended Libraries
These compnents are based on on shakgur's toolchain script which was refined from ooPo's ps3toolchain, shagkur's psl1ght-v2 derived form psl1ght and my extension and adaptation of ooPo's ps3libraries.
Well, with that in hand, you can expect some exciting homebrews coming to the scene from them.
[01:10] ps3gui (port of libwiigui), a proper lv2 patcher, ps3flow etc.
[01:10] maybe some adding of sprx plugins ^
[01:10] like the custom prx on psp did
[01:11] http://pastie.org/private/mpzijpn5eiy9thffgyfw6q
[01:12] pune has libwiigui completely ported to ps3
[01:13] http://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiXplorer
[01:13] the gui can look like that
[01:14] he has it functional, im sure he is buttoning things up
[01:14] he wrote a connect4 game that shows it off
If you are on Windows and also want to develop something for the PS3, DevkitPRO-Addons is just perfect for you. Just in case though, if you don't want to install PSL1GHT-V2 you can always compile the old one. Further explanation from Miigotu himself below.
[01:21] they will just have to set $PS3DEV and $PSL1GHT because we dont use those variables, but old psl1ght does
[01:22] heh i put alot of work into getting git to be proper on windows
[01:22] they should remove all mingw and msysgit or w/e too
[01:26] also, if you browse into a git repo it will show what branch ur on
[01:26] (requires one shell restart before it works)
[01:27] bleh everything git just works xD
Alright, enough with that, let's get straight to the downloadable installer that you've been waiting for. Just a reminder, the installer is still in BETA and as you can read above, the PSL1GHT-V2 is still not 100% functional yet.

To quote: PSL1GHT is a lightweight PlayStation 3 homebrew SDK that uses the open-source PlayStation 3 toolchains to compile user applications that will run from the XMB menu (GameOS homebrew).

Environment
A GCC toolchain that supports the PowerPC 64bit architecture is required to build PSL1GHT and its samples. It also requires the toolchain to provide a patched newlib environment; at the moment only one toolchain does so: ps3toolchain
The SDK also includes a few standalone tools to help compilation. A host gcc is required to build raw2h, ps3load, and sprxlinker requires libelf. ps3load requires zlib installed. Python 2.x is required to run fself.py, sfo.py, and pkg.py. Nvidia's Cg Toolkit is reqired for compiling vertex programs. The signing tools require libgmp.
Most of the PSL1GHT samples included in the samples/ directory require various libraries from ps3libraries to be installed.
Building
Run make install in the psl1ght directory to build it all, and make sure to set the environment variable $PSL1GHT to the folder where you wish to install it to, for example...
cd /path/to/psl1ght.git/
export PSL1GHT=/path/to/psl1ght.git/build
make
make install
... for a local build of it. Ensure that $PSL1GHT is set when you are building any of the examples or other apps that use PSL1GHT.
Current Status
Graphics
PSL1GHT supports hardware acclerated 3d graphics. Vertex shaders are a work in progress and Fragment shaders don't exsist yet.
Input
PS3 controllers are fully supported, and pressing the PS button brings up the in-game XMB menu, assuming the framebuffer is working.
Quitting from the XMB requires the application to register a callback ot handle the event. An example using this is the camera example.
Filesystem Access
Full filesystem support is available, with access to the internal PS3 hard drive, game disc contents, and external devices like USB drives. Only directory iteration is missing, though it can be done using the lv2 filesystem interface directly (see include/psl1ght/lv2/filesystem.h)
Networking
Berkeley sockets are available for use in PSL1GHT, though some of the implementation remains incomplete at this time (hostname lookups, for example).
STDOUT Debugging
By default, PSL1GHT applications redirect stdout and stderr to the lv2 TTY interface. Kammy's ethdebug module can be used to retrieve this live debugging information over UDP broadcast packets. See Kammy for more information and a precompiled ethdebug hook loader.
SPUs
PSL1GHT provides access to running programs on the raw SPUs, and communication with it from the PPU. See sputest in the samples directory for a simple example.
SPRX Linking
Any dynamic libraries available to normal PS3 applications can be used with PSL1GHT, they just need to be made into a stub library and have the exports filled out. See any of the examples in sprx/ for information on the creation of SPRX stub libraries.
The following libraries are currently supported:
• libio
• libpad
• libmouse
• liblv2
• libsysutil
• libgcm_sys
• libsysmodule
• libpngdec
• libjpgdec
• libgem
