sn00pie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 According to an analysis of the most recent PlayStation 3 Software Development Kit (SDK) by Inner Bits, version 1.80 now provides developers with a method of streaming music off the user's hard drive. While the utility costs 12MB to implement, it's assumed that the cost will decrease in upcoming SDK releases. And while that uses a decent bit of precious memory, custom soundtrack support is the number one most requested feature for the PS3 and developers are sure to take advantage of it.Additionally, this update also drastically reduces the overall memory cost of the PS3's operating system. System memory usage was only dropped to 48MB from 52MB but the video memory usage dropped from 32MB to 24MB. The cost of other features like the Friends List also has been reduced across almost the entire board, making them enticing developers. Also added was a screenshot utility at a measly 3MB and the ability to use the PSP as an additional monitor for a reasonable 8MB. http://www.innerbits.com/blog/2007/08/21/ps3-180-sdk/ YES!

Xero Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 The PS3 keeps getting better and better. I'm really looking forward to more software improvements, they rushed its release, the hardware was great but the software has lacked since its debut.
