L luizfernandonb Member Apr 22, 2023 #1 I'm new here and in PS3 development, and I would like to know the differences between PSL1GHT and PS3SDK 4.75, I just know that PSL1GHT is opensource and 4.75 was leaked, correct? What are the other notable differences?

aldostools developer MOD Moderator Developer Apr 22, 2023 #2 Both are SDK that allow create homebrew for PS3. PSL1GHT is a free open source SDK, while PS3SDK is a licensed SDK by Sony. PS3SDK let you create VSH sprx plugins, self apps, etc. PSL1GHT does not allow build sprx plugins. There are many equivalent functions, but they are named different in PSL1GHT (probably to avoid legal issues about copyright). The performance of apps built with PS3SDK generally is better than PSL1GHT.
