PS3 Linux RSX Driver Released

Around this time last month, gitbrew announced on twitter they had released RSX documentation, because they had reached enough donations within a twenty-four hour time limit. Well people were complaining the document they received was not what they were expecting. Member at gitbrew, daxgr, has released a Linux RSX driver, and also noted that this driver would have been noticeable to everyone, "WITHIN 24 HOURS" after the donations.

Here is his official statement in regards to the whole situation:

Well I am pleased to announce that RSX Driver for Linux is released. The RSX driver is the product of hard work by durandal and glevand, who gave up many hours to accomplish this. So here you go, the link for the RSX driver: git.gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/linux/ps3rsx.tar.gz

On a side note, may I add that contrary to public belief for 5 YEARS, the RSX does not rely on DMA to process graphics, but rather uses PPU instructions to push objects to RSX VRAM. So... yeah another breakthrough by the team who scammed everyone.... Gitbrew.

PS: To all those who started complaining about this noble effort to enable RSX on OtherOS(/++) , such as "gitbrew is a scam" or "they are just SDK samples", check out the date of the file.


Gitbrew was always about developing things for developers AND users alike.
Sadly, users don't always appreciate the effort, a simple omission to include the release URL, that was due to durandals medical condition and glevans personal issues, seems to be enough...

Well keep that in mind, Gitbrew gave their word to release a RSX driver and succeeded; anyone who had cared to browse glevands directory WITHIN 24 HOURS of the donations would have seen it.

This release is a Linux RSX Driver. The RSX "Reality Synthesizer," is the PS3's graphics-card. Basically, this is for dev purposes.
