 | Lunar Lander | Lunar Lander is a fun little 2D game based on realistic Newtonian physics. Thrust, acceleration and fuel mass loss are accurately modelled based on the actual specifications of the lander. The object of the game is to guide the lander to a safe touchdown while battling the relentless force of gravity.
I am using the SDL and SDL_mixer libraries to provide 2D graphics, sound and music. | None |
| | memcardlib - A memory card library | The standard memory card interface exposed through Linux ends up being a little
cumbersome in real applications. If you want to read or get information about the
memory card you end up having to open the device and do ioctl commands on it. If
you want to write or delete files you end up having to mount/umount the memory card
into some known directory and then perform your file operations. This library
collects most of the things you might want to do with a memory card; such as
determine the type and read, write, or delete files; and wraps them up into a neat
interface, making the whole process of managing memory card files much easier. | None |
| | MIDI monitor Art | "MIDI monitor Art" is a one of the visual musical instruments.
It's controlled by MIDI messages, then you can perform sound and visual live with playing the MIDI instruments.
It's consists of 4 parts, rhythm, bass, harmony, and solo.

| | Old School Games with SPS2. | I will be rewriting some old games like Pong, Pacman, Breakout and Space Invaders for example.
The purpose is to create a few more examples of using the SPS2 library.
The code needs to be well commented so beginners can understand it.
This is more a tutorial than a rewrite of games, some files might even just be examples in stead of games.
All code, graphics and sound needs to be created from scratch so the games will not be identical to their originals.
The examples does require sps2 0.4.0 or later.
Please E-mail me with questions or suggestions.

| | OpenGL Stuff: sample OpenGL code | OpenGL example code and other OpenGL related stuff. If you would like to learn how to program graphics with OpenGL then, Checkout the examples here to learn how, starting with the basics in 2D graphics up to basic 3D graphics. (see http://www.OpenGL.org for more info about the language) | None |
| | Peach Gardens | Peach Gardens is a 2d adventure game for Playstation 2 Linux kit. The game is situated on a wonderful piece of land, where nothing bad ever happens. In this world, a young boy is about to leave his parents to start a life of his own in some far-away land. As a player, your job is to guide the boy through various challenges that shape his skills and prepare him for his chosen profession. The game features exploration, puzzles, trading, some role-playing elements and mini-games.
Peach Gardens uses libps2dev library. Full source code is available at project page. | None |
| | Pinp Is Not Pool |
====== Everything is now uploaded and in final form as far as we are concerned ====
This project is (at this stage) exactly what it says it isn't: a Pool game for the PS2 :)
The intention when this project was started was to create an arcadey Pool game with powerups, jumps, different playing surfaces etc... We were not able to achieve this in the given time, but otherwise it's a nice entertaining game :)
The game has been in development by us - a team of 4 at the University of Canberra - for about a year now, as our final year Engineering project. It was done mostly working on Saturdays and perhaps a few days here and there where we could fit them in.
To do in the future (probably by other willing people, since we don't have access to PS2s outside of uni):
Implement the 'arcadey' portion.
Make physics run better (on VUs?).
Whatever anyone comes up with :). | None |
| | Playstation 2 Linux System Documentation | The P2LSD Project provides documentation for setting up, using and programming for the Playstation 2 Linux system. Items included in the project are FAQs, HOW-TOs and Handbooks about very specific PS2 Linux topics such as "How to use the IPU" and "The Memory Card FAQ". | None |
| | PlayStation Applications | This project will build some kind of Applications like BitTorrent Client, Mplayer, GTK2+ etc...for PS2-Linux | None |
| | PlayStation IDE for Windows | PSXIDE codenamed 'KONDEV' has arrived, well at least a snapshot of my development and associated documentation that I have done.
KONDEV is (will be) the ultimate in console development so you can develop for consoles like the PlayStation, PlayStation2 (Native or Linux based), Nintendo64, GameCube, XBox, PC (Windows and Linux) you get EVERYTHING you need including editors, debugger, emulator, compilers, docs, libaries, tools. Oh yeah AND THE SOURCE CODE.
Contained in the zip file is the following :
Windows Binary of the IDE
Windows Dynamic/Static Libraries for the Emulator (YES!)
Windows Dynamic/Static Libraries for the Debugger
Various tools, work in progress
The source code to the LOT of it
The new home for KonDev here.

| | PS2 Demo and Presentation Project | Thinking about lugging your PS2 to your local LUG (Linux Users Group) for a presentation, but not sure what to show off? Interested in writing little demo applications to show off what the PS2 can do, to be shown at LUGs and computer fairs? Then this project is for you!
This project will provide a space where people interested in presenting Linux for the PS2 at user group meetings and community computer fairs can get together to show off their tips, tricks, and ideas for successfully presenting Linux for the PS2, can discuss new presentation ideas, and can post their PS2 Linux presentation horror stories :).
This space will also provide a place where demonstration developers can get together to produce software intended to show off the PS2's capabilities for use at such presentations. This could be anything from multimedia slideshow templates you can use for giving a presentation to your local LUG, to self-rumming demonstrations for use at computer fairs and trade shows.
Lastly, this space will also act as a place for members of the PS2 Linux community to announce upcoming demonstrations of Linux for the PS2. | None |
| | PS2 Distributed Computing Resource | In between playing games, compiling applications, listening to music, etc., there is much unused floating-point power that could be used for distributed computing projects, like Folding@Home, SETI@Home, or Distributed.Net.
It is our aim to bring together several ps2 programmers that wouldn't mind discussing the advantages of having a client for the ps2 and also helping any compliant projects by porting their client, and eventually optimizing the client for the Emotion Engine.
Obviously, these distributed computing projects are not completely open source, but usually all interesting code is released. So volunteer porters will likely have to sign a NDA with the project saying they will not leak information about how the data is verified to be from an authentic client. | None |
| | PS2 Game Engine | ps2engine comes from our school project. Our team, Delusional Studios,
are taking the Electronic Game Design course at NBCC Miramichi. For our
final product for next year, we are doing a ps2 game called Demonic
Psychosis. In order to be able to make the game in time next year, I am
starting the coding for the game engine now.
The game engine so far supports a DMA memory manager, a DMA packet
engine that supports automatic packet stitching with 32, 64 and 128 bit
support, a DMA packet scheduler that allows you to flag packets to be
sent or not and build a call list and send the call list for each DMA
channel independent of each other. The game engine will eventually
support quake 3 level support for interiors, quad trees for the outside
areas, key-frame and skeletal animation with quake 2 models, light-wave
models and custom file formats for optimized models. The custom model
support allows user's to enter openGL like commands to enter vertexes,
normals, colors. The matrix manager also is openGL like and contains all
off the commands from openGL including scaling, translation, rotation
and also a view matrix, projection matrix, camera matrix and model
matrix. Plus two other matrixes used for lighting. There will be many
more additions to the game engine as time goes by. | None |
| | PS2 Linux News and Research | Mass research that will cover many interesting aspects of the Linux Kit to bring something new to your everyday PS2 Linux life. | None |
| | PS2 Linux Yabasic | I wanted to clone the PS2Yabasic editor/interpreter from PAL demo discs and make it run under linux. I couldn't do it. If anyone wants to take this project over from me, e-mail eratosthenes@users.playstation2-linux.com | None |
| | PS2 Neural Network Simulator | PS2Neural is low-level framework to support running neural networks, optimized for the PS2's hardware (Hebbian-like and error-corrector/backprop). Some ps2neural developers are also interested in developing visualization plugins using the GS. | None |
| | Pulsar | A 3d space ship shoot-em-up. Will run under native mode (not linux) using the psal library. The psal library is being developed along side Pulsar. | None |
| | Qtopia for PS2 Linux | This project was created to build the Playstation 2 a fully functional UI while at the same time using as little resources as possible but maintaining performance. | None |
| | Quake 2 for PS2 | The single purpose of this project is to port the Quake 2 game source-code to the PS2 platform. Yes, Quake 2 is now officially "old news", but you might be surprised to learn that Quake 1 through Quake 3 use the same codebase. Once the porting effort is done, the project may evolve to incorporate more modern features.
Note that you will need game data from the Quake 2 CD for any of this to be of use, or you must have a completely new set of game data. | None |
| | Recursive 3-D Ray Tracing Program | RayTracing creates a two dimesional near-photorealistic picture of a three-dimensional scene. Combining scenes (frames) simple animations are also produced.
It takes an ASCII description file (*.rt) and "scans" the scene using the "Ray Tracing" techinque: the scene is projected from the viewer to the scene.
Understanding how this program works is very helpful in the learning process required to take advantage of the Ps2 3D graphics library. You learn why textures (materials) are needed, how lamps an thier position affect the coloring of the objects, reflection, transparency, etc.
The code is based on a PC MS-DOS 16bit code written by Christopher D. Watkins, as part of the Book "Programming in 3 Dimensions" ISBN 1-55851-220-9. This book is out of print.
The render quality is very good, but the performance (speed) is terrible. All output is painted on the screen using the POINT primitive.
Several description files are provided, including metalic bouncing balls, Waves, DNA molecule, engine, a pool table, a simple robot, etc.
New versions should make a better using of PS2 graphics and math libraries (to improve performance). | None |
