Notes

16colors ANSI/ASCII archive

The application provides direct access to the 16colors archive of artscene files. You can browse their entire art collection (1990 - 2020) if your PS3 has a network connection available.

Note: Downloaded art files are cached on /dev_hdd0/game/NP0ANSIVW/USRDIR/CACHE/.

Building

You need to have installed:

Run make to create a release build. After that, run make pkg to create a .pkg install file.

You can also set the PS3LOAD environment variable to the PS3 IP address: export PS3LOAD=tcp:x.x.x.x. This will allow you to use make run and send ansiview-ps3.self directly to the PS3Load listener.

To enable debug logging, build ANSi View with make DEBUGLOG=1. The application will send debug messages to UDP multicast address 239.255.0.100:30000. To receive them you can use socat on your computer:

$ socat udp4-recv:30000,ip-add-membership=239.255.0.100:0.0.0.0 -
