I've been interested in making a homebrew playstation 3 (childhood console :D) game for a while, and finally got an environment setup yesterday.

Ended up getting a simple rust function built, with some slight miscomplilations via wasm + wasm2c. Now I'm going to try to get graphics working.

There is a surprising amount of public code containing calls to sony's licensed SDK, if you know what to search for (Not to mention the SDK, which was, "obtained" dubiously). Fascinating stuff

This is very cool, do you have a place where you post updates?

I was playing with w2c2 last week to try and get some stuff running on Mac OS X Leopard, but I couldn't quite get it working :(.

Not yet, there is a monumental amount to learn before I can make anything cool :( If I get something cool working, maybe i'll start a blog
