Quote:It seems that at the time of release no one was really interested in an xbmc port for the ps3, I released a proof of concept vid, showing that the ps3 (at the time via otheros) was capable of running it, and asked for help with porting it fully.
I asked the xbmc dev team and got told they basically couldnt be bothered. (if you ask me, I think the ps3 is too steep a learning curve for them even though nearly all info is publically available now). I recently moved the xbmc-ps3.net site to a new server, its not up atm, but will be back up asap, if you'd like to keep an eye on the project.
There were at the time no legal issues that would of stopped a port from happening. Otheros was completely legal to use, and xbmc is an open source project. They're comments as such were nothing but an excuse.
Hopefully we'll see a port in the near future, but honestly, I wouldnt hold your breath.
Edit: GregoryRasputin is correct in saying im working on the project still, I am aiming for a minimal install atm on the xmb, but due to issues with the current releases of xbmc, I am unable to compile it succesfully. (xbmc.bin isnt being compiled properly, and at 3 hours a compile, im holding out for an updated version.)
This is a quote from madshaun1984, squarepusher, I'm pretty sure you know who this is or how to contact him...
