Wooooho, its happening ?

I been watching some videos in his youtube channel and this is really promising
In short, he started rewriting the RSX driver (not sure which one though) and he got acceleration working, but he made a pause in his work because he was at a point where is needed to cleanup all the code tweaks and get some chunks of code from nvidia sources and he also wanted to spend some time reading and understanding how the PS3 RSX works in detail (to have a better overview of which road to take when writing a public version of the driver)

That happened a couple of months ago, and if you look at his youtube channel you are going to realize he is very busy doing other things
His youtube channel is awesome, lol, he is very experienced in hardware, in software, in linux kernel development, he even has a "thing" named T2 (used to build linux distros like puppy, i love this one btw, i always though a puppy working in PS3 could be nice)

No doubt... it looks he is skilled enought to make the RSX accelerated driver... lets hope he keeps the interest in it


Keep an eye at this links, eventually he could upload something new related with PS3

Thats exactly what i was thinking, we need to show him our support
Yesterday i added his videos and links to wiki http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Talk:PS3_GPU_Driver
But we need moar... i was about to tell to @STLcards that we need an article in the forum frontpage about this

At this point of the PS3 scene lifetime... it looks like he is the only one (in the world ? lol) that can complete the work


------------------------
And btw... im guessing after having acceleration working... there is going to be still a long road to have acceleration working in gameOS
But if done... i guess is going to be posible to have vulkan working in retroarch... and vulkan = n64 emu working and some more

Well, thats one of the doubts i had, not sure what he is using as a base... but anyway i guess is built on top of the work from glevand/graf so was the repositories of gitbrew, but later glevand submitted his drivers and stuff to the official linux kernel, and the most experimental work made by glevand was made for freeBSD
I never was much into all that so im not sure what happened with all that files, maybe are this ones

Look at this, he is involved with this "T2 building enviroment" i was talking about
http://t2sde.org/hardware/console/Sony/PS3/

Not sure if is involved directly or indirectly because i found that link yesterday while rushing google looking for info about his work... maybe is not and i clicked in it instantly because i knew about T2 before so it called my attention inmediatly
T2 is used (or was used, not sure if they has moved to other build enviroment) to make linux distros like this one:
http://puppylinux.com/

Are very small and very efficient (thanks to the T2), and i guess is posible to make one specific for PS3
Something like that (and with video acceleration) should beat in performance any other linux running in PS3 by a lot
Ok... im dreaming... but it looks like this guy can do it

Yes !, i just realized he is the "primary developer" for powerPC and powerPC64 in the T2 project, im completly hyped now

WoW this is great news
