(UPDATE {v1.225}: See Bottom of Article)
Developer @White Dragon has been trying to port OpenBOR Plus to the PS3. When the developer ran into some bottlenecks (Memory Leak issues) on the PS3 port, the dev posted this thread here in the psx-place forum seeking advice from scene developer's, After various trial and error's from the discussions the developer reached a "EUREKAAAAA!!" moment and success arose, as the port was now operational on a CFW enabled PS3 (not supported on HAN as this is a PS3 Homebrew).

This homebrew engine is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine and has a rich gaming library of many beatem up games, This engine has been ported to the PS3 and runs on various other platforms like the PSP / Wii / Android to name a few. See additional details about the project and more about this PS3 port in the details provided below.

  OpenBOR PLUS
  
  OpenBOR PLUS is an advanced version of official OpenBOR.
  OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally created by the wonderful folks over at Senile Team. The plus version is based on official version and it has all official features plus new features!
  EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN THE COPY OF THE "PLUS" CODE WITHOUT MY CONSENT.​
  
  History
  In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing anyone interested to create a module for the BOR engine.
  
  In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the community, and still is to this day.
  
  
  
  New Features
  
  • added "movex", "movez" to entityproperty: the potential entity directions
  • added "collidedentity" to script: it returns the collided entity handler
  • opened animation platform properties to script
  NEW OPERATORS
  
  Spoiler

  bitwise not (~)
  ENTITY COLLISION
  
  Spoiler

  accessible in debug mode too.
  constants:
  ANI_PROP_ENTITY_COLLISION
  ENTITY_COLLISION_PROP_COORDINATES
  ENTITY_COLLISION_PROP_TAG
  ENTITY_COLLISION_PROP_INDEX
  animation commands:
  ebox {x} {y} {width} {height} {z1} {z2}
  ebox.x {value}
  ebox.y {value}
  ebox.width {value}
  ebox.height {value}
  ebox.z1 {value}
  ebox.z2 {value}
  eboxz {z1} {z2}
  model commands:
  entitypushing {int}: if 1 entity pushing target on collision
  pushingfactor {float}: pushing factor on collision. Default: 1.0
  openborscript functions: get_entity_collision_collection(void handle, int frame);
  get_entity_collision_instance(void handle, int index);
  get_entity_collision_property(void handle, int property);
  set_entity_collision_property(void handle, int property, value);
  openborscript:
  added "entitypushing", "pushingfactor" to entityproperty
  added "collidedentity" to entityproperty
  added "maxcollisions" to openborvariants
  events:
  onentitycollisionscript
  localvars:
  "self": entity
  "target": entity
  "self_ebox_handler": the handler for ebox of self to use with openborscript functions
  "target_ebox_handler": the handler for ebox of target to use with openborscript functions
  MULTPLE COLLISION BOXES
  
  Spoiler

  opened multiple collision boxes to openbor:
  you establish the max collision boxes into model.txt file with
  maxcollisions {int} (default: 2)
  then you can change into animation the index of boxes:
  setaboxindex {int} for attack collision boxes (default: 0)
  setbboxindex {int} for body collision boxes (default: 0)
  seteboxindex {int} for entity collision boxes (default: 0)
  by default the index relative to a box is set to 0 of course.
  example:
  

  • ANIM IDLE
  • bbox 1 2 3 4 5
  • setbboxindex 1
  • bbox 5 6 7 8 9

  
  in this example you set 2 bboxes.
  see this example too:
  

  • ANIM IDLE
  • bbox 1 2 3 4 5
  • setbboxindex 1
  • bbox 5 6 7 8 9
  • bbox 1 2 3 4 5

  
  in this example you set 2 bboxes both: bbox 1 2 3 4 5
  because bbox 1 2 3 4 5 at index 1 overrides bbox 5 6 7 8 9 at index 1
  BOOMERANG
  
  Spoiler

  model keys:
  subtype boomerang
  aimove boomerang
  model commands:
  boomerang {name}
  boomerangvalues {acceleration} {horizontal_distance}
  animation commands:
  custboomerang {name}
  animations:
  getboomerang
  getboomeranginair
  use range {min} {max} to get the boomerang by range
  openbor script:
  changed access to boomerang props in openbor script:
  get/change entityproperty "boomerang" "acceleration" {val}
  get/change entityproperty "boomerang" "hdistance" {val}
  using subentity and spawnframe example:
  for player set type npc, for enemies set type enemy
  subentity boomerang
  spawnframe 0 5 0 30
  
  using custboomerang example:
  custboomerang boomerang
  throwframe 0 30
  IMPROVED MENUS
  
  • all ports menu now support image previews
  • but into PSP/Wii port is disabled by default for less memory usage
  • all menus support more mods loading
  • implemented vertical scrollbar for menus
  • implemented fast forward/backward to scroll menu with many mods (left/right arrow)
  • implemented hold key impulse for all menus to scroll menu with many mods more easily
  NEW PORTS
  
  • PS3 port
• 
  unofficial instructions (provided by psx-place)
  
  1. Once the pkg is installed and ran for the first time. (CFW Console's only)
     
  2. It will black screen for a few moments (flicking a few quick screens) and will revert back to the XMB. (that is okay on the first run)
     
  3. It has created a folder on root of the internal HDD: dev_hdd0/OpenBOR/
  4. Within that folder you need to place your game files for your desired games (pak) in the "Paks" folder. dev_hdd0/OpenBOR/Paks
  
  
  Note this is the download to the Game Engine Only , there are many created games (.Paks) that support OpenBOR, checkout these website for more info about this project: ChronoCrash & Senile Team​
