[tthousand]

Developer lunuxx has been working on porting the open source 2D fighting game PAINTOWN to the PlayStation 3 GameOS, along with the add-on MUGEN. He has continued to make progress, and has already released packages for public consumption. In case you would like to try out this game on your consoles, here is some information regarding the releases from lunuxx:

Initial Release:

here are some new videos from xmb (sorry about split videos my camera wouldnt let me do both in the same video)
if anyone would like to test this pkg or can help as always please stop by irc #paintown on freenode

issues as of now: music, mugen mode is slow with anyone besides kfm, character compatibility with some mugen characters. these issues are fixable we could use any input anyone has!

here is the pkg file - some issues are still present in mugen mode and music is out for right now feel free to play and have fun, you will need to install the pkg and then copy the data folder from to the install directory/USRDIR (/dev_hdd0/game/Paintown_/USRDIR/)
also for optimal play change your video output before playing to 720 or 480 on the PS3
1080 is laggy for now
change back to whatever you were using when done playing

if you have any issues, comments ideasor If you are a character maker or know psl1ght, sdl etc etc feel free to stop by the forum or irc,
forum: Paintown • Index page
irc: #paintown on freenode (irc.freenode.net)

Updated Release:

If you dont know already - screen resolution fixed, music fixed ogg files play users can add custom tracks and they will play at random in adventure mode, you can change the main menu music by editing data/menu/main.txt - custom music should go in /dev_hdd0/game/Paintown_/USRDIR/data/music

Mugen mode is still slow with other characters besides feilong, gambit and kfm...- looking for a way to fix that not sure what the problem is

Developer behind porting Paintown to PS3, lunuxx, has announced on PS3Hax, a character creation contest. The three best submissions will be chosen, and the creators added to the credits, along with a personal prize sent by Jon Rafkind. For more information, please reading the following official statement from lunuxx:

Paintown Character Creation Competition

We are starting a Paintown character creation compition, the 3 best user submitted characters will be added to the main svn repo for the game and in the main release, the creators name will also be added to the credits. If your character is the best and really, really good Jon Rafkind will personally send you a prize (food or a toy or whatever) I am also personally throwing down cash for this prize as well.

The rules are simple:

1. The character must have a special attack
2. The character must move fluently and not skip
3. The character must not look like absolute crap
4. The character must work on PC/PS3/WII consoles If you dont have a wii thats fine we will be able to test it
5. I'm excluded from submitting

Note: Personally I wouldnt worry about #4 if it works on your PS3 it will more than likely work on the WII as well.
