+SDL on Sony Playstation3
+------------------------
+
+Installation:
+ First, you have to install the Cell SDK
+ - Download the Cell SDK installer RPM and ISO images to
+ a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdk.
+ - Mount the image: mount -o loop CellSDK-Devel-Fedora_3.1.0.0.0.iso /tmp/cellsdk
+ - Install the SDK installer: rpm -ivh cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm
+ - Install the SDK: cd /opt/cell && ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install
+
+ You'll than need to install the SPU-libs
+ - Run make ps3-libs && make ps3libs-install
+
+ Finally, install SDL
+ - Go to SDL-1.2/ and build SDL like any other GNU style package.
+ e.g.
+ - Build the configure-script with ./autogen.sh
+ - Configure SDL for your needs: ./configure --enable-video-ps3 ...
+ - Build and install it: make && make install
+
+
+Todo:
+ - Mouse & Keyboard support
+ - On SPU-side the current scaler and converter restrictions are:
+ - resolution has to be a multiple of 8 (will work on that)
+ - scaler/converter only supports the YV12 and IYUV format
+ - the scaler works only bilinear (lanzos would be nice)
+ - Optimize the SPU-program handling on the PPE side
+ - Integrate spumedia in SDL
+
+Have fun!
