[Gnash-dev] Re: gnash working on playstation3 - ps3

[Onlinelib.de ::]

hi,

ok..i have now a gnash renderer working.
after 7 days and 1 ton of coffee i got a flash player working on my 
ps3-baby
:)

for the renderer i choosed cairo compiled from source.

i made some screenshots (on the ps3 is vncserver running!!):

cell cat cpuinfo

gnash command call:

gnash test swf play:

its not so slow as i tought before. some examples like the
test_rotation.swf is not working got a segfault:

render_handler_cairo.cpp: 307 virtual void
gnash:.renderer:cairo::render_handler_cairo::begin_display(gnash::rgba,ini......etc...etc) "gr_cr_output" failed. ok..now iam thinking to optimize the renderer speed. i would like to askyou if the following way is a good idea: we dont have access to the ps3 hardware gfx hard. we only got a emulation mode. now i have 2 options: write an nividia driver for 
the rsx 70 chip, maybe in 2 years iam ready :) or try to implement the cell-spu to the cairo renderer. at the moment only the 1 of the 2 64bit ppc are running the compiled code.i study the cell sdk and it seems that the 8 spus have full memory access (thru the EIB). the sony sdk and libs are avaiavble in c. i made some "hello" world example with the sdk. 
its seems to be easy to communicate with the spus. is is a good idea to do optimation directly in the renderer or can i do something directly in the gnash code. sorry, i never develope openGL before. another question: i would like to give other ps3 user my compiled gnash binary but i dontknow yet how to bind all needed libs. can anyone help me here ? and sorry for my 
english, iam from germany :) thanks guys gary>>> ----- Original Message -----> From: "Christopher Halse Rogers" <address@hidden>> To: "Gerd Hilgemann" <address@hidden>> Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 5:09 AM> Subject: Re: [Gnash-dev] Gnash on Ps3>>>> On 12/12/06, Gerd Hilgemann <address@hidden>
