There is one thing i've been wondering about these homemade SDKs, how do they come up with the different functions? Do people just copy them from the official SDKs and incorporate it into their own SDK, or do they make them from scratch somehow (if so, how do they do this?)?
The whole psl1ght is a copy of the sony official sdk 1.60/1.90 (with namespace changed from cell to sys). If anyone thinks it is legal he is a fool.
Thanks for the info :) Yeah, this is what i was wondering about. I'm under the impression that someone means that using the official pirated SDKs is bad, but using a open source one is just fine. If the open source ones are just copy from the official SDKs, then that doesnt change much. No offence to Deroad here, i was just curious how the open source SDKs worked and how they are made.Quote:

PSL1GHT is an SDK derived from the reverse engineering made on the ps3 and the official SDK. on V1, devs, kept the original file names from the official SDK, that's why all the stuff starts with cell*.
on the v2, they changed all the names to make it completely legal. names can have copywrite. anyway, v2 has more functions that v1 doesn't have.
so it's not true that "The whole psl1ght is a copy of the sony official sdk 1.60/1.90 (with namespace changed from cell to sys)" and yes, it is completely legal. all the softwares are under GPL and BSD licence. also the official SDK uses GNU software, so that's legal since GNU software is OpenSource.
so, yes I THINK THAT'S LEGAL and i'm a fool to think that. You should remember deank that your "awesome" backup manager, or what you want to call that app, is ILLEGAL. made with closed source software and with libs that has sony copywright (like PSGL) that you use.
(sorry for the delay to answer to this thread, but i didn't noticed that there was a question here :D )
Thanks for the info to you to, Deroad :) But if the open source SDK takes stuff from the official SDK, isnt this what Deank is referring to as being illegal? Is everything that is under GNU automatically free (being open source doesnt necessarily means that it is free, if i'm not mistaken)?
Take stuff from the sdk is illegal. That's obvious. But when you reverse a thing ad then rewrite the code in your way, that's not illegal. An example: arkanoid is the original name of the game, but you can legally recreate the same game in your way. That's what all the ps3 devs has done. They never used a single Sony thing, everything was written to be similar to the Sony sdk. Not everything is under gnu. What was written by Sony is under copywrite, and have it, without the permission of Sony itself, make it illegal
I see. Out of curiousity, how much rewriting is happening? To use the Arkanoid example, are we talking about simply changing the title of the game and leaving everything else like it is (hardly any changes as all), or are we talking about making a completely new game like Alleyway or BreakQuest (both games are based on the Arkanoid idea, but they have all different levels, themes, music etc.).
I don't know. But, for example: librsx is completely written by the devs. That lib was not written by Sony. When you talk about psl1ght, you are talking about a software that only links some functions to the sprx inside the ps3 and some tools to build pkg, self, etc.. There are only a few Real libs (like librsx) with the sdk.all the other libs are only ported to work on the ps3 (that's why there is a folder called "portlibs"). I think that on v2, there are only my libs and 2-3 others, completely written from 0 for psl1ght.
I am going to have to change this to deroad explains thread. Thanks for answering all the questions. I am sure there aren't to many bounds to your knowledge of the scene. Thanks again, for what you do, and for being a friend!
How hard would it be for me to make a pkg like the one you made me last year? Is it pretty n00b friendly, or am I most likely going to go through some trial and error, and possibly asking for support?
