To quote: Well guys, by popular demand here's Solar v2.0. This is a multiMAN edition and stand-alone. The app would need to be spawned by multiMAN, so it's up to Dean.
But the stand-alone will spawn multiMAN. FTP works really well, and it's very fast, but sadly only one session... lol, so use it wisely. I will fix in the future. Will add more stuff in future releases, but 1st I have to fix my setup... lol which caused my delay.
Hope you guys enjoy it, CAW!
Changelog:
- FTP
- Particles effects
- Light effects
- Added Text
- Major memory fixes
- Some resolutions and cosmetic changes
- Fixed Sound loop bug
Usage:
- SELECT pauses the music
- START resumes it. lol
- X starts the FTP
- And all the other buttons will launch multiMAN.

Solar v2.2 Changelog:
- Fixed soft reset when exiting to xmb with PS button
- Packages are now half the size, Thanks DeanK.
- Ftp is a little better, can be used as many times as wanted now.
- Changed animations around.

Note: when using FTP, you have to connect & re-connect twice to return Solar's animation, till I fix that.

More PlayStation 3 News...
Long gone are the days when most PS3 Devs believed in open source and were not out for profit in the hands of the nefarious Max Louarn / Paul Owen et al regimes. As the popular saying goes now though, it is what it is.
On a brighter note, hope to see ya back for the PS4 scene and take care!
