Homebrew – Spin Pong Released

A PSX-Scene user by the name of apanloco has released a homebrew PS3 game called Spin Pong. As you can imagine its a Pong type game, but with a small twist. The physics aren’t what you’d normally find in your average Pong game. Check it out below and more info after the jump.

Spin Pong is an fun and addictive 2-player Pong game for PS3, with some interesting physics and stereo sound.

This was coded using only a retail unit, using logging over UDP.

I used the how-install-set-up-ps3-sdk-1-92-properly guide thanks go to internetfloozy.

CONTROLS

Use left analog stick up/down to move paddles.
Press X to signal that you are ready. Both players need to signal ready before game starts.
Press START to signal that you want a game reset. Both players need to signal wants-reset before game starts.

INSTALLATION

I built this with the 1.92 SDK on windows with msys. Just do this:
– cd
– build.bat
– you now have spinpong.pkg
– install as usual

NOTES

For homebrew developers check out Log.h/Log.cpp for code to log over network.
To view the logs, use:
$ socat udp-recv:6160 stdout

Sounds are converted from .wav to .raw using:
for i in *.wav; do sox -V -S $i -r 48000 -e float -b 32 -c 1 -B $i.raw; done
because i was too lazy to code a wav loader.
