From the ReadMe file: OVERVIEW

Spin Pong is an fun and addictive 2-player Pong game for PS3, with some interesting physics and stereo sound.

This was coded using only a retail unit, using logging over UDP.

CONTROLS

• Use left analog stick up/down to move paddles.
• Press X to signal that you are ready. Both players need to signal ready before game starts.
• Press START to signal that you want a game reset. Both players need to signal wants-reset before game starts.

INSTALLATION

I built this with the 1.92 SDK on windows with msys. Just do this:
• cd
• build.bat
• you now have spinpong.pkg
• install as usual

NOTES

• For homebrew developers check out Log.h/Log.cpp for code to log over network.
• To view the logs, use: $ socat udp-recv:6160...

252w ago - For those following, you can Launch Java Homebrew from the PS3 XMB... since then, others have been making various BD-J games and apps for the PS3.

Dragula96 has released a 2-Player Pong v1.0 and Snake v1.1 homebrew game, and Ihatecompvir has shared with us a PS3 News RSS Reader for PS3. Be sure to check our ongoing BD-J Homebrew thread for the latest releases.

Finally, in the ongoing Possible attack vector through BD-J Forum thread RexVF5 has been progressing with BD-J development... if you are into BD-J stuff it's worth checking out. Enjoy!

275w ago - Just a few days ago, the Zelda: Twilight Princess exploit for Wii opened up the possibility to boot homebrew in Wii mode through a buffer overflow method.

Now homebrew developer Auby has extended this hack to load an ELF version of his PONG game which runs in Wii mode.

To quote: Current work in progress have made it possible to run ELF files from an SD card inserted in the GC card slot, and this is the result.

It's just my old Pong demo written for GameCube a long time ago. Controls doesn't work yet, and there are more to fix before a release, but at least things are moving forward.
