Hey guys a few days ago there was thread about getting Grim Fandago working on a ps3 (@John1971 @CFW1971 @honhon ) now after a few days of building different versions of ResidualVM i found it is possible to get it running on PS3 but the controls don't work properly on old builds of ResidualVM on ps3 (start and select work on a ps3 controller but thats it) and only the mouse seems to sort of work (the cursor is invisible so hard to navigate), Newer builds do have working controls for the menu but the games don't run.
After looking at them it seems the SDL 1.3 builds of ResidualVM ( versions 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.2.0, 0.2.1) all have working graphics but no controls.
Older SDL2 builds of ResidualVM (versions 0.3.0, 0.3.1) have a working mouse pointer and games work but graphics are messed up (all green)
The Latest SVN SDL2 build has removed PS3 code but can be readded easily and it has working Mouse and Controller but games refuse to run (just get a setpixel error)

The source code is at the Git hub for ResidualVM if anyone else can help with getting the ps3 controller working but so far im not having much luck (also on a side note the ps3 version of scummvm uses the same ps3 code and it has working controls so im not sure what is going on there)

And here is a couple of video's of it working (first video is on a PS3 emulator, the second video is on my actual PS3, and sorry about the quality of the 2nd video, i dont have a capture card so i had to use my phone)

on PS3
 
We are so excited about this man...
Like Sandungas said : "Keep the good work"
it would be so awesome to be able to play this classic on PS3 !
 
nice to see new developers working on ps3 homebrew!

keep it up! :encouragement:
I don't have much experience using SDL but @JMGK was working recently on a SDL homebrew so maybe he can give you some ideas regarding PS3 controls.
 
hey @John1971 sorry i have had a few health problems (nothing too serious just a stomach acid problem, had it for years and tried all the medication but none work for more then a couple of months then im back to square 1) that has really killed my motivation recently so i havent been around as much as i would have liked, but im trying to get back into this and a few other things i was working on,

@JMGK yes i tried those SDL2 versions which really helped with my scummvm builds with controls, but didnt in residualvm, i get green graphics and glitches with SDL2 or i get a pixel error (depending on which version of residualvm i build)
The only version with working graphics are the old SDL1 ports (but invisible mouse and controller doesn't work)
For the SDL2 latest builds with working controls but Pixelerror i used commit
2ef7bfc3efc0bac9fd57ca2f4dfe3a5cfaf8f598
with the latest ps3 code from scummvm and the controller works fine, just nothing else does.

Also Scummvm and ResidualVM are now both 1 project since they merged recently, so im now trying to build the latest developement version of Scummvm instead since it has both, only problem im having now is that the builds don't work on ps3, i tried the last 100 commits and none of them work, so im guessing its been broken for awhile, im planning to build 1 for each week and go back to where the code is broken and see if anything can be done.
Has anyone got a recent Scummvm from the development branch that works ?

Also thanks for the support @sandungas @bucanero @John1971
