Source Code for RNA (Real Network Access) Released.

On August 14^th we announced that DemonHades developer Blipi was working on real network access for custom firmware PS3's. The ability to network our games with others, sync trophies and have a friends list was wonderful news to those wanting their ”online” gaming fix. (LAN games only)

We recently learned that Blipi will be leaving the scene for now and has released the source code for his project. So let’s hope that some developers will continue on with this project.

To Quote:

Since I’m leaving the scene for a while I’ve decide to make RNA open source.

It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/blipi/rna/

In root / main .h and .cpp core files
In /temp/ code to be ported to ps3 yet

I’ll post more information later, as now I haven’t got more time.

Blipi

We at psx-scene wish Blipi good luck with his future endeavors.

Sometimes things come up that cause people to leave the scene and we thank Blipi for the work he has put into this project and for releasing the source code so that other developers can keep pushing this project forward.
