132w ago - Today Nintendo Wii hacker Waninkoko has released TKC Demo v0.1 at Spanish site TeknoConsolas.es (linked above), which is a PS3 demo for PlayStation 3 JailBreak users.

Download: TKC Demo v0.1 for PS3

To quote, roughly translated: Waninkoko has been working on developing PS3mlib, a high level library that provides application programming for PS3, including all types of basic features for video, audio, controls, camera, events, etc. This library will be released under GPL in a few days.

To demonstrate some of the functions supported by this library, he has created the application "TKC Demo 01", a technical demo for PS3 developed with the legal SDK "PSL1GHT."

This demo utilizes simple graphics drawing, playing sound files (using a SPU) and has support for the Playstation Eye (Eyetoy does not work yet.) You can interact with the application through the controller pad:

• Up / Down: Increase / Decrease vertical speed TKC logo.
  
• Left / Right: Increase / Decrease speed TKC horizontal logo.
  
• START: Exit the application.

132w ago - Today news of a Commodore 64 / C64 emulator for PS3 has arrived from AreaScout via PSGroove (linked above).

Not much information is available on this C-64 PlayStation 3 GameOS port for PS3 JailBreak users just yet except for the following details, to quote:

"It seems just about anything and everything is getting ported to the PS3. News comes to us, that a dev by the name of AreaScout, has undertaken a project, to port a Commodore 64 emulator to the PS3. Information is limited on this project, however, two screenshots from the project have surfaced and are located below.

Expect more information as it becomes available to us."
