PS2 homebrew dev

Submitted by SubZero on

Hey, is anyone here doing any PS2 homebrew coding? Any engines currently in the pipes that are running on the PS2? I'm currently putting together an engine on the PC which I want to get onto the PS2 platform ASAP. Anyone know of any tech references, particularly for Emotion Engine core, besides the ps2dev.org?

Sort of played with it this week for the first time. First hint... DO NOT UPDATE PS2 to 2.0 firmware... it's a pain to get back to 1.52

Matt, that's PS2 not PSP- you and drunk forum postings... [;)]

Getting something complex going on the PS2 is likely to be tricky. There are reams and reams of docs that come with PS2-Linux.
