[vorbis] Vorbis for PlayStation

[Patrick Masters]

Vorbis is being used by some manufacturers for playstation games. I cant
remember when I read about this, but it has been discussed on this board in
the past. Try checking some of the older posts if they haven't been deleted
yet.

Subject: [vorbis] Vorbis for PlayStation

Hello.

Some friends of mine were playing with a PlayStation one day.
And after playing some Games they pushed a normal Audio CD into that
thing - and the music began to play. A crazy idea came into
my mind.

Just imagine: There are millions of PlayStations spread worldwide.
If it was possible to port Ogg to PS this could help to bring
Vorbis where we want it to be: Millions of families were
able to play Ogg-CDs in their living-rooms.

Does a PlayStation have enough computing power to decode Ogg Vorbis?
Is it possible to port a decoder to that platform? What
about license fees?

I know that porting the codec to PlayStation is not sufficient.
We also need a Player-Application that has to be on every
CD as we can´t upgrade the PS-firmware. So it is necessary
to write a tool that creates Ogg-PS-CDs, too.

Ideas?

bye,

Maik Merten
