A Docker Image for PS2 Development

[misfire]

Hi,

The other day I was looking into PS2 development again. My first goal was to get one of my PS2 projects (PS2rd) compiled after a couple of years of neglect.

I decided to use Docker for isolated cross-compiling and built something others might find useful too:

https://github.com/mlafeldt/docker-ps2dev

This project allows me to build PS2rd (or any other PS2 project) with a single command on any platform that supports Docker:

docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD:/src" mlafeldt/ps2dev make

In addition, I can now also set up continuous integration using services such as Travis CI, so that my code gets tested and built every time I push something to GitHub.

Check out the README (https://github.com/mlafeldt/docker-ps2dev#readme) for more information.

You're back from the grave! Woohoo! We never did get hardware breakpoints and other stuff. I'd gladly be a tester but don't have a PS2 anymore, I just mess with the PS3 these days.

Well, at least I have a solid process to compile PS2rd now and in the future.

See https://github.com/mlafeldt/ps2rd/co...433459d3cdb7d5

Next I want to update the code to compile against the lastest PS2SDK, which has gained a lot of improvements over the years.

I was just wandering around and it looks like there are still people actively using this and asking questions, but considering I see you as the thread title starter you've probably looked around on http://psx-scene.com/forums/official-ps2rd-forums/. I always would have loved to have breakpoints, but I'm on the PS3 these days. Some of the projects with sections and threads on there I can't even figure out where to download things. I've been scouring google. I'm baffled by the amount of threads that are stickied with download links for things, except there's no download links for anything in the threads. They really haven't been updating their downloads section with this stuff. There really just needs to be a place with all of the software, links, and documentation. That skapps.bootleg.whateveronearththingforfreemcboot site is completely inaccessible, many links are dead for various things. I've been going through various things for a few hours now and I can't stop saying "Where the #@&! are the download links!?"

I glanced here too out of curiosity and we have something for Winamp in the downloads section. Winamp still exists????? I don't think I've heard that name since the late 90s or early 2000s, it made me think of ancient stuff like RealPlayer and how glad I am RealPlayer is hopefully gone forever.

sksapps is down for about 2 months now. You still can access an online backup using the wayback machine : http://web.archive.org/web/201402080...utorials/fmcb/

As for PSX-SCENE, it had been affected by several backup site restorations - and a lot of attachements are lost now. You can also recover most of them using the wayback machine.

Hah, good catch. Worse still, of the five WinAmp items in Downloads, three are dead links, and two are just different versions of SNESAmp, an app you can find in plenty of emulation sites if you're so inclined. I've removed that section from Downloads. Let me know if there's anything else that looks dusty, or if there's anything I should add.

misfire: Awesome to see you put the pieces back together for such a great project. I've been doing much the same with my PSX FF7 prequel mod, Adamant. Fun times.

FYI: I've updated the Docker image to include ps2-packer and ps2eth as well.
