Ok.... I'm finished! Here is a brand new shiny port of OpenBOR now running on PS3 Linux!!!
I used Ubuntu on my PS3, I would recommend as well that everyone uses Ubuntu for its ease of use towards downloading and installing the libraries need to get OpenBOR up and running on your PS3. So here are the steps to get it running:
Grab the source here: svn co
https://openbor.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openbor
Required Libs prior to compilation: libSDL, libSDL_gfx, LibSDL_mixer, LibSDL_image, zlib and libpng.
Automated Building type:
./build.sh
Manual Building type:
source environ.sh 4
make BUILD_LINUX=1
Automated
If you have used the automated process then under releases directory you will have a LINUX folder, Go to my site (
www.lavalit.com - registration required) and download a few mods aka pak files and place them in the Paks folder.
Manual
If you did not use the automated build system then create the following directories along side of the executable (case sensitive):
Paks, Logs, Saves, ScreenShots
Place the xbox/data/menu.pak into the Paks directory and the mods you downloaded from my site (
www.lavalit.com - registration required) also into the Paks directory.
Note: Make sure all the directories have 777 for permissions.
Now you are ready for some good old school bashing! With Golden Axe - Remake I get 166 fps @ 480x272. Now obviously OpenBOR is not PS3 optimized (Waiting for PS3SDK from
http://ps2dev.org) but compared to my PSP optimized port (120 fps @ the same resolution). Not too shaby since Ubuntu does run rather slow on PS3.
