PlayStation 3 Hacker Releases Homebrew Collection; More To Come
A PlayStation 3 hacker by the name of KaKaRoToKS recently released an SGTPuzzles PS3 homebrew port of Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection dubbed the Humble Homebrew Collection, which currently includes 33 puzzle games for both jailbreak and PS3 CFW (PlayStation 3 custom firmware) users. The collection of apps it provides can be used on a jailbroken PlayStation 3, Linux, Windows, Mac, or Android. This is what the “The Humble Homebrew Collection” website says: The Humble Homebrew Collection is an initiative that aims to convince Sony to provide us with a legitimate and official way to create homebrew applications for the consoles that we own. We are providing you with a free homebrew game that aims to be polished and look professionally made which includes 33 very good and addictive puzzle games. We’ve tried to make this homebrew games collection as good as possible so that even the anti-homebrew purists will be jealous of it. Homebrew does not equal piracy, and this is proof of it. These games are all free and are released under the MIT license. The main purpose of this website it to serve as a petition against Sony’s unjust behavior towards their customers. You are encouraged to sign the petition, donate to the developers or you can simply download the games. The choice is yours. Let Sony know that, as a customer, you want homebrew games, you want to see the real purpose of the Copyright Law used properly: To encourage creativity and innovation. Let them know that, as a customer, you are willing to pay for quality homebrew and that if they wanted to, they can get a share of that money. After all, all they care about is money According to KaKaRoToKS, more games are being written for this PlayStation 3 game collection and it will continue to receive regular updates with the to-do list detailed below: To-do List: High priority: Add an about page Fix performance issues, need 30/60 fps on full redrawns on 1080p now it’s around 1 or 2 fps… Add a way to enter numbers/letters for Solo/Unequal/Keen/Towers games Fix game help by using FreeType and supporting utf-8 chars correctly. Medium priority: Add a ‘resize screen’ at boot (some tvs crop the left size of the screen) Redo a cleaner design of the user interface Recognize when a game is completed and show a message+play sound. Check if a game is solved and allow easy ‘new game’ Low priority: the save/load thread seems to crash (get interrupted) if we do a quit from the xmb while the save/load menu is open Download Humble Homebrew Collection Apps: Stay tuned for more news and info by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and/or subscribing to our RSS feed.
