PS2 Gets A Working Divx Player

Posted by Hemos on from the no-sorenson-yet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over the weekend, the PS2reality team released the first working Divx player for the Playstation 2. Site is in spanish, so try using babel for translation. Works with Divx 3 and up. You can also swap your avi cd-roms if you have a modchip or you can use the other various swap techniques out there for the PS2. Divx player does require some way of booting the homebrew program, either no-swap modchip or modchip+bootdisc( e.g swap magic, gameshark, etc.) would work."

    Get phone call from Sony's lawyers

    Grounds? What particular copyrighted work are you circumventing access controls on by using a mod chip? The DMCA's circumvention ban applies only with respect to a copyrighted work.

    No grounds? Barratry can get a lawyer disbarred.

    Learn that your Web server's disk died, bringing all of your research from the past couple of years down with it

    A developer who is not smart enough to keep backups deserves it.
