Hi all,
Not sure if anyone is interested, but I am making a new app for playing ren'Py games on a PS3. Its in very early alpha stage at the moment. The way I am doing it is:
A .NET tool to parse & convert a games code and assets into a packed format best suited for a PS3. I.e. all images converted to PNG/JPG, sound to opus (as I can already play that), video to MP4. The python code, or at least the small subset that we need, and all game dialog etc is parsed and packed into an .rpk file. This .rpk file is then readable by the player.
The player app on the PS3 serves as the runtime and bridge between the assets and the PS3. I started with a very old game, "Broken Memories", not sure what its about as I never played it, just thought since its old it would be simple, and it is, relatively speaking, so after a long while getting some progress with it. Once it runs well (I hope), I intend to make the app into a "Library" of sorts, where you can drop converted .rpk files into some place and for it to pick them up at runtime.
Anyways, it will be a while before I have something that actually works, but thought I'd share my excitement.
PS: If there are any other simple games, from this era, simpler than this one even, that you know please let me know. Ill test with those.
Thank you
