Question About DevCD

[Icecoolwarrior]

Hi, I have a question about the DevCD.  I recently purchased the Linux PlayStation 2 kit (LinuxPlay.com), which is quite good actually.  My question is, does the DevCD come with the full source code?  And can it be compiled under linux?  I want to compile it to run on PS2 linux

EDIT: I have no intention of modding it, I just want to compile and play it on my PS2.  Long time PC Uplink gamer here, just interested.

As far as i know it comes with the full source.
Not the mac version though.

Thanks  Yeah, I see it now, teach me to read the FAQ before posting.  Not quite sure how it would be done as apparently it needs Uplink installed to compile, so I would probably need to cross-compile it on Windows (As the PS2 has a completely diferent architecture) then copy it over to the PS2.

Screw it, I think I'll just buy the damned thing and see what I can do with it.  Chris, you have an order coming your way.

then how did the first compy of uplink compile?

[Darksun]

You need the full version of uplink to play a compiled uplink, because it needs all the dat files. These are the same for Windows and Linux, AFAIK

Good look with your project!

[Icecoolwarrior]

I see, so it doesn't rely on any actual Uplink executables, just the data files.  So technically I could just install on Windows, copy the data files over, and compile on the PS2.

Well, I have no idea about PS2 linux, but it's worth a try

Also note that you'll have to contact Chris about this if you want to distribute it

[Icecoolwarrior]

I've no intentions on distributing it.  The license agreement prohibits me from doing it (Yes I read it).  This is purely a "for fun, just to see, it would be cool" kinda thing.  I've never actually developed for the PS2 before, so it's a new experience for me too.
