To quote from his page linked above: After about a month of hacking I'm happy to announce that Showtime now can be run as a native "homebrew" application on the PS3. See PS3 usage guide for more information of how to get started.
If you have any questions please use the
PS3 forum on this site.

Getting started

For a full featureset of Showtime see http://www.lonelycoder.com/showtime
Most of this should work except for playback of high res. HD videos (basically when the PPU runs out of cycles). There are a bunch of strategies for how this should be handled but I've not had time to start digging into this yet
Video output
Showtime on PS3 has been tested with 576i, 720p and 1080i video resolutions.
I've tried to set reasonable defaults for overscan compensation. But if it not correct for you it can be adjusted under Settings -> Display and UI settings
Buttons on controller
✕ Activate (Enter) currently focused item
○ Navigate back
△ Bring up options / playcontrol menu
□ Screensaver (Until something better has been figured out)
► Play/Pause
▬ Home menu
✜ Navigate
L3 - Bring up playback info (During video playback)
R3 - Bring up log console
Keyboard
- Plugging in a standard keyboard in the PS3 USB port works and is currently the only way to input characters.
- No virtual keyboard is supported at the moment.
Other stuff that does not work
- TV-style remote controller (whatever that's called) has not been tested. No idea if it works or not.
- BD/DVD/CD Discs - No idea how that works
- Digital pass thru audio (AC3, DTS, etc)

I compiled it with my changes and it should be ok with mM 04.18.00. Also I decreased the size of the pkg/self with 1MB. Showtime 04.01.386a is compiled with my changes as always. Also the size of the pkg/self is decreased with another 20KB.
