+--- Thread: Port XBMC to PS3 (PlayStation 3) to run on Linux ("Other OS") or natively on GameOS? (/showthread.php?tid=21849)

Guys, you should use a website for this. Kickstarter is interesting.

They're missing a key element: a dev who cares.
They can raise a billion dollars, but until a Dev decides he/she wants to do this, it's not going to happen.

if money is up for grabs I am sure a "dev" will come, question is if its a dev who will do anything valid
Generally speaking I would like to say buy a device, send it to a dev on the team and perhaps he will do something. But it feels like people here wants a promise, something none of us will ever give.

That's a fantastic suggestion, I actually have 2 spare PS3 fats that I'm not using and would be willing to donate. Can you PM me the address details of any devs that might be interested in a PS3 as my gratitude for their hard work on the XBMC project?

Great ideas... I wish Davilla would work on this project, I'd donate anything to him

So you're hoping the guy that helped develop the OS X port, the ATV Port, the OS X Crystal HD code and the iOS port is interested in a Sony product?

I said wish not hope. I know he never would, hence why I said 'i wish' with a frown at the end...

Not wishing to start my time here under a controversial cloud, but I'd say this debate just got a whole lot more interesting.
I simply cannot believe no-one out there wouldn't be interested in getting their hands dirty on a project like this now.
I shall watch with interest.

We've got 55 pages of users and more importantly developers saying no. Why is the debate continuing? Lets hope it doesn't go to 56 pages.
*EDIT*
S**T! My post pushed it to 56

Hate to be devil's advocate but:

graf_chokolo Wrote:It has all GameOS features, it has access to all HDD, VFLASH and FLASH regions. It can communicate with Dispatcher Manager, Update Manager, SYSCON Manager, it can run isolated SPUs, and of course RSX
graf_chokolo Wrote:I’m installing just an ordinary unmodified Debian distribution, nothing changed by me. Just normal PPC64 distribution.
So when graf_chokolo is done there should be a full PPC64 distro running with access to the RSX graphics chip. Could make all the difference in the world... or not...?

If there are drivers and all that crap, yeah. If there are proper ogl drivers then there is most likely nothing which the dev team even have to do. XBMC runs already on PPC linux afaik.

wiki says x86 for linux.
also RSX is only OpenGl ES 1.1. Would that be an issue?

But I sympathize because I still remember my struggle to get devs to approach a computer based version (I wanted HD playback). And it's funny because I see you fully embraced what I thought back then: that the project was too great to stay confined in the gray area of unofficial builds, hacked consoles and the like.
