Cell/SPU support almost there

Ok, well I think you already know that gentoo is working pretty fine on ps3 and we are working on getting a quick install route for it (basically figure better how kboot works and make it do what we want)

Today I eventually got a shell on a ps3 and spent some time fixing the libspe2 ebuild (testing it in first person eventually =)), you can find it in my overlay, to get SPU stuff working you need the _VERY_LATEST_ gcc binutils and newlib and just issue a crossdev spu –stage3 to have a (hopefully) good toolchain.

Many thanks to Shine, that is also already starting to code something useful (that I’ll rip for mplayer once I have the time to start working on it) http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7209

In the other news I got the efika eventually and, well, it’s _really_ tiny, I bought a 60GB hd and I start gather the rest of the components to play with it, I hope next week to assemble everything and have something to tell even about it =)
