What was done

The Pikmin-PS3-Port project enables the GameCube game Pikmin to run on PlayStation 3 hardware by reading disc images from the console's hard drive or USB storage, utilizing PSL1GHT and custom build workflows.

The Pikmin-PS3-Port project implements a native port of the GameCube title for the PlayStation 3. The implementation relies on the PSL1GHT development library and a custom build workflow to generate installable packages. The port reads game data directly from North American disc images in ISO, GCM, or CISO formats. Upon the first execution, the software copies the disc image from a USB drive to the internal hard drive at /dev_hdd0/game/PIKM00001/USRDIR. Save data is managed in a separate directory to ensure persistence if the game package is removed. Claude Opus 5.5 is credited as a co-author for the development of the build system, the XMB icon generation logic, and the README documentation. The build process utilizes a cached ps3toolchain release and PSL1GHT. The implementation includes custom tools for processing XMB assets, such as converting disc banners into PNG icons and scaling background images. The author reports that the game plays from the hard drive without requiring a USB connection after the initial installation. Source: https://github.com/mattyken619/pikmin-ps3-port/commits.atom
