So If any you coders out there that know me I am a Java coder. What I want to do is gather with some Ps3 devs and port Java to the Ps3 then we get to use thousands of Java libraries on the Ps3 and create games. I started in GreenFoot when starting to learn Java and it was also fun to create a little game.

I think that Java is already possible through Linux.

I was wanting to port OGRE3D, but I only have a little experience with it, and the render system is awesome. Check the demos. I've also read that an old version of irrlicht has been ported to ps3, and psp, but these are both c++ libs.

It should be but I don't use otheros on the ps3. I think we should do it for CFW so that it opens up a wide user base then we get a bunch of amature games coming out for the ps3 CFW.

You want to make a JVM for PS3? Hmm interesting idea, There are open JVM source on the web maybe someone can take some time to make a separate JVM for PS3, of course there will be some things that need to be sorted out I think like how GUI windows are handle etc, but then again I know almost nothing about java so these are just my guess.

Yeah I think it could benefit the scene greatly cause then we might see a bunch of people coding little fun games and then you make a libary of all the games so any CFW user can play those games.

Python can also be run on pa3 so I'm wandering If pygame could also work? Any ideas?

Idk but I want to get some devs in here discussing it cause It would benefit the scene in many ways

What about bd java? I remember the nes emulator working quite well.

I think DefaultDNB is right, why not try BD-J:

Personally I'm not that fond of java, too much memory, too slow, but if that's your cookie, go for it..

But the current homebrew toolchain is using gcc, which if it's complete gcc supports java code..
I would love to see more language support like a visual basic or delphi alike syntax, but then again, everybody has his/her prefered development language, all have their pre's and cons..
