Today rickylyh let us know Fixstars Corporation of Japan has released a free https://codecsys.fixstars.com/ja/trial.html of CodecSys CE-10, an H.264 Software Encoder for use with Sony's PlayStation 3.

Thanks for the quick guide Ricky.. Google/Babelfish wouldn't translate it for me because it was a https address.

I grabbed it and added it to the download section. As Ricky stated, for the moment it's Japanese only so unless you can read Japanese you may wish to wait for the English version to be released. If anyone does give it a try, feel free to share your results here!

As i read this for the second time a lamp goes on !!!

So we need full access or the full power of the PS3 via OtherOS to realize a project like "PS3 Cluster Hacking" thingy.

So this programm runs on WinXP Machine but could access the whole power of PS3 via OtherOS... ding, ding, ding, ding, ding BooOOooOOooOoOOmMMMM.

I think to hack a Win App will be more easyer than to hack the PS3 itself.

Could you follow what i mean?

[Nairb]

cfw I was thinking this when I saw it but I didn't post anything.

I mean if you think about it if you can get a program like this to run over ethernet there's a way.

There's a way to hack anything, just have to find that hole.

[overtaker2005]

if i press okay after encode settings i get an error =/ but i cant read it XD

[speedxl]

Its still the same situation that with linux, you always has had access to the cell-be and spus, the only thing you cant access its the acceleration of the gpu, and with this app its the same, its only optimized to work more efficiently having more RAM at its disposal etc..

The problem with linux on Ps3 its not lack of power, its lack of custom programs that use the Cell-BE.

[cfwprophet]

Ok but than we now have a option to work on. Even if the program just calls or better use the cell-be we now have a way opened.

Or maybe not.Its hard for me to say it because im not a coder but what i know is that every really good coder will not support the thing we want to have to be done.

But with this program we maybe have a option to moddify and use it for our idee's.
