A Caprice32-4.1.0 DBG for PS3.
​

  • What?: A quick port of caprice32-4.1.0 to ps3 using PSL1GHTV2.
  • Why? : It was the first computer i own.
  • Who? : Rtype


Caprice32-4.1.0 PS3/PSL1GHTV2

Modified source code for PS3 to compil and run on the sony PS3 with the PSL1GHTV2 SDK.
you can download the caprice32 original source code here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/caprice32/


As you can see , this is the minimal hack to the original source code to compil and run under the PS3 with PSL1GHTV2 sdk.
All the credit of the caprice32 Emulator to Ulrich Doewich at Caprice32 | SourceForge.net

Also i use the psg.c & 6128.h & amsdos.h files from wiituka (author:dantoine) at http://code.google.com/p/wiituka/
​



Know Problems:

  • Works with a real keyboard or you have to use my lame virtual keyboard :)
  • Virtual kbd is weak & wrong ...
  • Some pb with SDL1.2 caprice32 code (ex: code Keysym 1.2 different from 1.3) so i make quick dirty hack not all the keys are working ...
  • Sound not working as expected ,no time for now to look at the pb.
  • I ve quickly coded a lame disk browser so only file with ext .dsk or .DSK (no more than 400) are showin the files are not sorting and the browser/browsing is bad
  • I ve not tested very well, just few games , so maybe other pb around ...


Sorry for all this problems but i hope you enjoy anyway somes old good games .
