Good Dev-Forums?

[Max Klinger-PSG]

Hi again

I wonder if there are any good (especially active) forums for developers of the ps3 out there. (especially for using psL1ght not the official SDK)?

Any suggestions? I can't ask everything on stack overflow

There are no ps3 dev sites that i know of, normally what ps3 devs do is they join a site and post their apps there and the site mods(like me :P) see it and if its good enough we post it on the front page with your name in BOLDS!

And once any ps3 site posts it, it will automatically spread to each and ever ps3 scene site on the web since all the mods keep an eye on the all the sites and for news.

And also, there is only psl1ght, i have no idea what you mean by official sdk, without a jailbroken ps3 you cannot make homebrew and without psl1ght you wont be able to make and sign apps to work on the jailbroken ps3.

One more thing you can do, if you want to share you source code is upload the code to github or git-hacks.

And if your looking for help, then use the forums to ask questions, there are many programmers and devs out there who help people out.

^ those are there, but keep in mind, that site has very few members, its not very active, so no use =.=

Thats why I asked.

I also googled a lot of sites and most were quite dead or had the newest posts from 2010. It is a bit sad. I am an advanced programmer in .NET (yes: I know this sounds a bit arrogant) but I just cannot force myself to code in pure C with no gui help at all.

On the other hand: I really want to code something on the ps3. Days should have at least 48 hours to code just a part of all those stuff, I want to

I think, I will start like Robo Hobo who AFAIK mainly ports open source projects for PS3. Could be a good start to learn environment; I really want to see OpenTT on the PS3 for example.

Nontheless: Thanks for your help. I will stick with L1GHT-Wiki and a lot of Stack Overflow in the beginning, I think.

if you want to make homebrew then you need to learn python, psl1ght is only compatible with python and if you want to make windows apps related to the ps3 with C and gui help then download a copy of microsoft visual studio, you cannot get a better looking,better feeling, stupidly easy interface than that.

You literally need to drag and drop gui controls on the pre-made blank gui form.....

VS (Visual Studio) is what I already use since 5 years. Thats what I meant with coding in .NET. I've done a lot of other things before (Basic, Turbo Pascal and even C and C++, but it was that much time before I cannot really use that knowledge anymore. (And especially in C I just used it for the basics).

Of course I know I cannot just drag/drop Controls on a Page for PS3.

I might be wrong but all I did see from the (rare) examples for PSL1GHT looked damn close to C to me. I wouldn't expect that python could do any time-critical processes at all.

AFAIK python is only used for "typical" Linux-stuff for the toolchain and stuff.

You can correct me if I'm wrong

(edit)
That is definitely C:

#include <psl1ght/lv2/net.h>

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>...
