ScummVM PS3 port by bgK

 
bgK is working on a port of ScummVM and has released a Test Version for the PS3.

+Prerequisites +============= +- A homebrew enabled PlayStation 3 console. As of now that mostly means having a custom firmware installed. Obtaining and installing such a software is out of the scope of this document. Sorry, but you’re on your own for that one. +- At least one ScummVM supported game. The list of compatible games can be seen here: http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/ +The page http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Wh…_get_the_games references some places where those games can be bought. Demonstration versions for most of the supported games are downloadable on http://scummvm.org/demos/ +- An USB drive. + +Installing +========== +From a computer, download the installable package of the PS3 port from ScummVM’s main site. It should be a .pkg file. Copy it to an USB drive. +After having plugged the USB drive to you PS3, the installation package should appear in the XMB under the “Games > Install Package” menu. Installing it copies ScummVM and its dependencies to your PS3′s hard drive. It also adds the “Games > PlayStation 3 > ScummVM” XMB entry which is to be used to launch ScummVM. + +Configuring and playing games +============================= +The user manual describes how to add games to ScummVM and launch them : http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual + +PlayStation 3 Specifics +======================= +Games can be launched either from an USB drive or from the internal hard drive. The internal hard drive has better performance though. +Savegames are wrote in the /hdd0/game/SCUM12000/saves folder. + +Joypad button mapping +===================== +- Left stick => Mouse +- Cross => Left mouse button +- Circle => Right mouse button +- Triangle => Game menu (F5) +- Square => Escape +- Start => ScummVM’s in global game menu +- Select => Toggle virtual keyboard +- L1 => AGI predictive input dialog + +Disclaimer +========== +Unauthorized distribution of an installable package with non freeware games included is a violation of the copyright law and is as such forbidden. + +Building from source +==================== +This port of ScummVM to the PS3 is based on SDL. It uses the open source SDK PSL1GHT. + +The dependencies needed to build it are : + +- The toolchain from https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain +- SDL from https://github.com/zeldin/SDL_PSL1GHT +- ScummVM from https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm + +Once all the dependencies are correctly setup, an installable package can be obtained from source by issuing the following command : + +./configure –host=ps3 && make ps3pkg
