Here is another game made with BD-J. It’s a small port of Drakon’s old SameGame made for J2ME and PSP.

FreePlay released a Minimal BD-J (Java) Development Kit for Playstation 3.

Release notes:

BD-J for PS3 minimal devkit by FreePlay

NOTE: For this to work properly, you *MUST* copy it to the root of your C: drive – that is, to C:bdj-ps3. DO NOT rename the folder.

Included is everything you’ll need to get started except for:
1. a working installation of JDK, the Java Development Kit (get that from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp – currently, the latest version is JDK 6 Update 7)
2. a copy of bdj.jar, the BD-J API. I can’t provide this, since you need a license to use it; however, if you have a PC program capable of making or playing Blu-Ray discs – like Nero or PowerDVD – you can get this file from there. (In Nero 8, the file is located in C:program FilesCommon FilesNeroNeroBLCBDJjl ib .)

I don’t have any real documentation on BD-J, though I’m sure you can find some on the HDCookBook website. In the ‘docs’ folder is some basic info on BD-J on a very high level.

So far as I can tell, there are some pretty strict limitations on the PS3’s implementation of BD-J:
1. You cannot read or write local files.
2. You cannot list the contents of a directory.

I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me, but I ran a few tests and couldn’t do those things.

I’ve also included a sample Hello World application and silenoz’s RSS reader, as well as a build.bat file for building, packing, and signing the programs. This batch script is pretty much universal, unless you need to add in other JAR files for your compilation.

Source files for each project should go in a folder called rootorghomebrew. For example, if you make a project called “Test App”, in your “Test App” folder you’ll place the universal build.bat , then make a rootorghomebrew folder and place your .java files in there. The ‘root’ folder will become the root of your JAR file; any files you place in that structure will become part of the JAR.

The ‘disc files’ folder contains the file structure for what you’ll copy to your storage device. Once you’ve built your 00000.jar file, copy it to ‘AVCHDBDMVJAR’ and you’ll be ready to test it.

Good luck!

wololo presents us a video of his upcomming game “Magic – The Homebrew”.

Quote from wololo:

Just pimping my project here.

Not sure if there are Magic fans here, it’s been 12 years since I last played it myself… but I wanted to start coding for the PSP a while ago, and decided to go with something “simple” : a card game. But because standard card games felt boring, I went with this one…(did I say “simple” ?)

Well it took some time, but I now have something almost playable…

stay tuned, it might be downloadable someday, once I get rid of the hundreds of bugs I have
