Will We See Java Emulators for PS3 ?

[wraggster]

The release of the 2 Player Pong Game for PS3 and also the Homebrew Devkit using the Java Runtime for PS3 brings hope that a full on exploit for Homebrew on the PS3 can be found.

In the meantime this use of the Blue Disc Java Runtime means that at least Java Games are doable in Homebrew on the PS3 and on most any firmware/region version of the Console.

The next eventual step will some sort of emulator on the PS3 using Java and looking on Google (http://www.google.com/custom?domains=www.dcemu.co.uk&q=java+emulators&sitesearch=&sa=Search&client=pub-8038068168054371&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23E9382F%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23CCCCCC%3B VLC%3A7E3939%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3 Affffff%3BALC%3AE9382F%3BLC%3AE9382F%3BT%3A000000% 3BGFNT%3A7E3939%3BGIMP%3A7E3939%3BLH%3A32%3BLW%3A7 5%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Flogos%2FLogo _25wht.gif%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2F%3BFORID%3A1&hl=en) you can see theres quite a few Java Emulators emulating a lot of systems, theres even a Java PSP Emulator for Windows (http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/jpcsp-a-java-psp-emulator-for-windows-v0-2-released-124633.html) being worked on, now imagine running PSP Games on your PS3 in time.

No, the PS3 java couldn't even handle a simple loop statement.

Really, what makes you say that?

[DPyro]

Because I tried it, and the PS3 just froze up.

What did your code look like, could be that your exit statement is not right or does not exist.

dude no offence, but how do you think i got pong to work? , it uses a loop: check controls, update variables, clear screen, draw stuff on screen based on new variables, and repeat.

just look at my source code and you will see where the loop is.


enyway if you guys dont know already the second ps3 homebrew game is out already:

PS3 Snake 1.1

Back to topic:
emulators might be possible, it just depends on when someone will take the time and interest to make one.:thumbup:

[Mc_Logical]

Nice work man! I gotta try snake! lol if any emulators do get written like this, will there allways be a skip icon on the bottom right? lol tapping left or right, X pause icon? I suppose after awhile ud get use to it... EDIT: Nevermind, just tried snake after watching a movie, it doesn`t do that skip thing :D I do have high hopes on this! finally homebrew etc on ps3 :p
