PS3 Need PS3 Homebrew Development Help

Hi all,

I tried to setup a dev environment to create simple homebrew using PSL1GHT for PS3 but failed. What I did was:

1. Try and find some docker images first, found some, but they were really old, I tried to run https://hub.docker.com/r/hldtux/ps3dev which was one of the more recent ones, but had issues. It could not build the PSL1GHT camera example (only one I tried) - https://github.com/ps3dev/PSL1GHT/tree/master/samples/input/camera because the makefile of that is expecting $(PSL1GHT)/host/ppu.mk but that did not exist in the docker image.

2. I tried to do it all myself by creating my own docker image using the repos, so I did:

FROM ubuntu:22.04
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
ENV PS3DEV=/usr/local/ps3dev
ENV PSL1GHT=$PS3DEV/PSL1GHT/build
ENV PATH=$PS3DEV/bin:$PS3DEV/ppu/bin:$PS3DEV/spu/bin:$PATH
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
autoconf automake bison flex gcc libelf-dev make \
texinfo libncurses5-dev patch python-is-python3 subversion wget zlib1g-dev \
libtool libtool-bin python-dev-is-python3 python3-setuptools bzip2 libgmp3-dev pkg-config g++ libssl-dev clang \
git \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Build ps3toolchain
RUN git clone https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain.git && cd ps3toolchain && ./toolchain.sh
​
And that built the toolchain, after a very long time & PC heating up, then I tried to follow the PSL1GHT instructions:

cd /path/to/psl1ght.git/
export PSL1GHT=/path/to/psl1ght.git/build
make install-ctrl
make
make install
​
But they did not work, don't recall exact error, but I think it was due to not finding the correct things.

Then I realised that the ps3toolchain already includes PSL1GHT, so I tried the camera example again, and it failed again, because there is no ppu.mk to be found anywhere, I searched the whole file system.

Then, I saw that bucanero has a compressed built version of the toolkit already on his github, although 5 years old from 2020, I downloaded it, and extracted it, looked inside and did not see that ppu.mk file needed by the camera example.

What am I doing wrong?
 
Hi!
From my experience, you just need to build the SDK following the steps in https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain (I used Ubuntu 24, you may find some packages that are missing when building the SDK that are not stated in the repo. Install those and keep re-running the script until it finishes).

Then just log out and log in again (or restart, whichever you prefer) in order to load the exported paths from your login script and the SDK should be set up and working.

Now, regarding the examples, some of the examples are super old and were written for older versions of the SDK and they may not compile. The camera example could be such a case. I'd recommend downloading some other homebrew to try and build it and see if your SDK is working properly.
Not to toot my own horn, but you can clone the https://github.com/blckbearx/SMW-PS3 repo and build it (there are instructions in the readme). I know for a fact it compiles fine under the latest SDK so you can use it as a test.

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not building a docker image, I'm just building and installing the SDK under a new user dedicated solely for PS3 development.
 
@blckbear many thanks for your response.

I did build it myself using the dockerfile I put above, and it did build OK, but I could not compile the PSLIGHT examples, as it was missing files. Maybe you are right and they are very out of date, which makes me think, this is a FOSS project, only one of its kind, it has a special folder for its examples and they don't build? Why did nobody fix this. I did not even see anything in the open issues mentioning this.

Ill try again later with just the toolchain & your repo. Maybe I can build a basic example from looking at your code.

Thanks again.

@blkbear so I started fresh, using WSL on Windows, installed Ubuntu, then fetched and unpacked the binary release from https://github.com/bucanero/ps3toolchain into the correct place.

Then I cloned your repo, and did a make pkg on it:

The code compiled fine, those warnings are normal, the error came when signing the executable. It appears that you are missing some shared libraries in your Ubuntu install. According to some Google results, installing libssl-dev (sudo apt install libssl-dev) should install those libraries and it should be able to sign the executable.
 
Thanks, I thought it would be related to ps3dev and not the system itself. I had to do:

Now its gotten further, but I get stuck on:

I did google this time and tried various things such as :

sudo apt install python-is-python3
sudo apt install python-dev-is-python3
sudo apt-get install python2
sudo apt install python3-setuptool​

But no success. I am using Ubuntu 22.04

I did take a look at your code, and to me at least, it looks way too complex. The main.cpp alone has over 4000 lines. If you could let me know where I can find a barebones example, all I want for now is:
  1. Game loop
  2. Exit to XMB code
  3. Draw background color
Bare minimal code, with the correct includes. Then I can build from that.

That's weird, I'm using Ubuntu 24 and I had to install python-is-python3 and it worked.

And yes, the code I suggested was just for testing your SDK and making sure it worked fine. As a code example, I'm afraid I don't really know any "simple" apps, I was thinking about PS3 GamePad Test, but the source code is lost. I can't think of another simpler example.

Anyway, your SDK setup seems to be having issues with python which is weird, I would focus on that, but I don't know how to help as I am using a different version of Ubuntu on a real machine, WSL installations may come with less packages and such.

Edit: I would suggest you remove all the python packages that were installed (python, python2, python-dev, python-is-python3, python-dev-is-python3, python3-setuptools) and do as suggested on the ps3toolchain repo for modern versions on Debian based diestros and just install python-is-python3, python-dev-is-python3 and python3-setuptools. Then re-run the toolchain building script, I suspect that because those packages were not installed when you were building, it may have failed somewhere.

If you want you can try the 5 year old docker image that's available on the web, it works fine, I've used it before and it works. As far as I'm aware there were no significant changes to the SDK since then to render that docker image obsolete, but I can be wrong on that.

@blckbear I tried:

docker pull ps3dev/ps3dev:submodules​

and that works, and builds your repo OK! I am just a beginner, so now just looking for some simple samples to build. I could copy your makefile and dirs, but most of what is there is not clear to me. I would like to understand what I am doing.

1. Minimal code for game loop, with minimal deps
2. Clear screen with a color
3. Minimal makefile to build .self

In any case, thanks for your help!

Awesome!

Now, for code examples, you can find a game called Barulandia which is kinda simple compared to other projects (AFAIK it's a painting game).

But other than that, I can't recall any other projects with minimal code.

Hope this helps!
 
@blckbear_ There are two versions of that, SDL 2 and SDL 1.2, both did not build out of the box unfortunately. With errors such as:

root@ae0e17b1c3ba:/home/BARULANDIA.PS3# make
savepng.cpp

Then I tried apollo save manager, which also did not build:

Looking at the issues, I found that a similar issue was fixed, but it seems it wasn't (https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps3/commit/9d1348486351ed37aec9dbb5711378b91acfc6f2).

Then after a long time searching for examples, I found something promising: https://github.com/lostjared/ps3demos These actually build (have to do a make clean first) and they seem relatively minimal, I am currently trying to get the random pixels one more trimmed down and cleaner, but I broke it somehow, it builds fine, but does not display the random pixels like the original one did (my version):

#include <SDL/SDL.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <io/pad.h>
#include <sysutil/sysutil.h>
#include <sysutil/msg.h>
#include "console.hpp"

constexpr int screenWidth = 1280;
constexpr int screenHeight = 720;

void drawRandomPixels(SDL_Surface* surface) {
if(SDL_MUSTLOCK(surface)) SDL_LockSurface(surface);
auto* pixels = static_cast<Uint8*>(surface->pixels);
for(int y = 0; y < surface->h; ++y) {
for(int x = 0; x < surface->w; ++x) {
auto* pixel = reinterpret_cast<Uint32*>(pixels + y * surface->pitch + x * 4);
*pixel = SDL_MapRGB(surface->format, rand() % 256, rand() % 256, rand() % 256);
}
}
if(SDL_MUSTLOCK(surface)) SDL_UnlockSurface(surface);
}

int main() {
if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) < 0) {
std::cerr << SDL_GetError() << '\n';
return 1;
}
ioPadInit(7);
SDL_Color fontColor{255, 0, 0};
auto* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(screenWidth, screenHeight, 32,
SDL_SWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF | SDL_FULLSCREEN);
if(!screen) {
std::cerr << SDL_GetError() << '\n';
return 1;
}
init_console(screen, "/dev_hdd0/game/RND00TEST/font.ttf", &fontColor);
std::cout << "Hello World with the Console. Press START to scroll. Press X to quit.\n";
bool isRunning = true;
padInfo padInfo;
padData padData;
while(isRunning) {
SDL_FillRect(screen, 0, 0); // Clear screen to black
drawRandomPixels(screen); // Draw random pixel data
draw_console(); // Draw console overlay
SDL_Flip(screen); // Present to screen
ioPadGetInfo(&padInfo);
for(int i = 0; i < MAX_PADS; ++i) {
if(padInfo.status) {
ioPadGetData(i, &padData);
if(padData.BTN_START)
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
if(padData.BTN_CROSS)
isRunning = false;
}
}
}
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
​

Will continue to try and figure out what is going on here.
