PS3 gets more homebrew

Posted by bendz666 on July 28, 2008

A few weeks ago some clever people managed to allow a PS3 to access a basic shoot em up running using Java. It was never going to end there though was it? Enter PS3 friendly versions of Pong and Snake. This is not going to keep you away from GRID or Call of Duty 4, but it’s interesting to see how quickly some clever folk have been able to exploit the opportunities that Java represents. It will be even more interesting to see where this goes next. There already Java emulators for lots of systems around, so who knows, maybe we will be playing Manic Miner on the PS3 soon…?

Have a look at the Pong and Snake “ports” here.
