IMPORTANT: Please be prompt, as we plan to start at 7 pm SHARP
!! The building is locked at 7 pm and anyone who arrives after that time will
require a Sun employee to escort them to the meeting. It is also highly
probable that those who arrive after 7:30 may not be able to attend the
meeting.
NOTE: THE JULY MEETING WILL BE HELD ON THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH.
Please be aware.
Due to the progress and flexibility of open source tool chains (compilers,
linkers, and libraries) in the last few years, teams of programmers, artists,
and musicians have recently developed a plethora of games on gaming consoles.
Now, one of those team members from that rapidly growing phenomenon known as
Homebrew Gaming will introduce us to their free tools.
At the July meeting of UUASC-LA, our own Joachim Thuau will provide us with an
overview of how to run code on game consoles, using both state of the art and
obsolete hardware.
Jok will discuss devkitPro, a tool chain for Sony's PSP and Nintendo's DS,
GameCube, and Wii, and what is compatible with Microsofts' Xbox 1 and 360,
Sony's PS2 and PS3, and Sega's Dreamcast, and a few others. If everything goes
well, he may even demonstrate a few different platforms. Sounds like fun!
Jok works for a video game development studio, and discovered Homebrew
communities after searching for different ways to run Linux.

Use the elevators on the west side of the building This is one of the huge white "Pacific Towers" buildings. The one with "Oracle" on the top, funnily enough... From the 105 freeway: Take the Sepulveda (aka hwy 1, aka airport) exit, but go SOUTH. It's about a kilometre down Sepulveda, on the left. Take a left just BEFORE the building, on Grand avenue, and turn into "Visitor Parking" From the 405 freeway: Take the exit just south of the 105 (El Segundo Blvd) Go west for 2+ miles on El Segundo Blvd. Turn right onto Sepulveda Boulevard. Stay in the right lane and take another right onto Grand Avenue. Pass the building on the corner completely and turn into the second driveway on the right were it says "Visitor Parking." Parking: Parking in the adjacent structure appears to have cycled back to non-free, for now.Here's a map for ya!
