PS2 programming

[agent_x91]

Hey, I've heard a bit about programming to a playstation 2 in java using a USB cord, but so far I haven't found anywhere which gives a particularly useful tutorial of how to set it up for this, and how to then use java to program to the PS2. Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks in advance:D

Go here (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Game_Development/Consoles/Q_20810860.html) I am sure you will find some answers for your questions

What? I've been to experts exchange before - you need to pay just for them to tell you the time of day

Also just realised I've been to that exact page before - but I don't intend to pay them my soul just to see the answer to someone's question

i do not know if this tutorial will allow you to use java code but it might help anyway

thanks for the help davey, I've been to ps2dev.org before I think... Well, maybe I'll give that site another go then. Though I don't like the thought of using the "knife-swap" method to start programming. That spells disaster

The link I posted above does not require you to pay anything to view it. You just need to signup (I am guessing). I know for sure that I did not pay them my soul or anything else to get access to that article.

I'm pretty certain you can write in C* for the PS2, but Java!?

[agent_x91]

Yes, it is definetely possible to write java for the PS2, I read it on a few websites. Most of em involve using a USB port to connect PC and PS2, and uploading a program to the PS2 to handle it, or something like that. I'm just looking for more information.

You are welcome...however I know for sure that I had not paid them any money..If I remember correctly they have levels of support that u can get from there, there was one free, then there is one for money as well...you might have stumbled upon those pages..:-)

[agent_x91]

Oh, I'll try again soon then. I just remembering it telling me I had to pay to sign up and see the solution to someone's post. Which is why I much prefer this forum:)

[agent_x91]

Good for you. That really doesn't help me.
