PS2 MP3 Player Source Released

**Da Brass** · 10-04-2004,08:38 PM

Ryan Kegel (PrimeTime), in true open source fashion, has gone ahead and released the source to his PS2 MP3 Player project. His hopes are that people can study it and improve on what he's started

Here's a direct quote from the Readme:

This is the source for the Playstation 2 MP3 Player. It can
be studied and modified. The code isn't exactly clean, and
I'm sure there are a lot of redundant and unnecessary code. If
you feel like it is your job to clean it up and make it nice,
then I say go for it. For those who want to improve upon this
program, I hope that you can keep that motivation.

You can snag all the fun from the Projects section of his web site: http://www.personal.psu.edu/rtk124

always nice to see coders dev apps.. thanks

This is great news. I wish that more coders would release their source code. If it wasn't for source code being released, Linux would not be what it is today & many other open source projects wouldn't be as good as they are.

We need more coders to release their source code so that prog's can be worked on more & more. One coder can't do everything but if you have more than one person working on the source code, more features can be added to software, et al. This is the main reason why I like open source software.

Well, since the PS2 MP3 player source code is released, I think that it would be a great idea to add code to the MP3 player to also play Ogg Vorbis files.

Can anyone simply tell me how to comile a ps2 app? I've downloaded the ps2sdk and tons of other dev stuff but can't figure it out.

Yeah, but if it's open source, it's easy to see when someone has stolen your code.

When it's closed its a pain in the ass to be sure. Example: HD Loader.
