Developing for the Playstation 2?

Posted by Cliff on from the from-the-PC-to-the-console dept.

Kentai asks: "Im thinking of building my final year CS project around developing a piece of software for the Playstation 2 and I am wondering what various pitfalls I should expect. Bringing our own software to the living room on nice hardware seems like a whole new computer medium that would be fun to exploit. Problems I am expecting so far include: issues like obtaining a compiler (pretty important), the whole Playstation 2 CDR issue and legal issues. What compilers can one use to develop PS2 software, and how much does each solution cost? Also, has anyone had any luck or placed any hope on a Java VM for this platform?"

    My rectum has bled for 9 days now. Why won't it stop?

      Have you tried stuffing tampons in your ass to stop the bleeding?

      You could also try cauterizing your rectum. Leak some butane in and light it. No bleeding after that.

    Green Day - Take Back

    You pushed me once too far again
    I'd like to break your fucking teeth
    Stick a knife in the center of your back
    You better grow some eyes in the back of your head
    I fight dirty, just like your looks
    Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore

    Take back, take back, take

    The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue
    An eye for an eye
    Gun for a gun
    Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine
    Expect it when you're least expecting it
    No loss of love, the smell of regret
    Lights out can't take anymore

    Take back, take back, take back, take back

    Shit
