Using SFML on an XBOX, Wii, PS3
« on: March 02, 2010, 10:15:00 am »
Has anyone used SFML successfully on any of these platforms? Will I be able to support these platforms in the future if I depend on SFML?

SFML currently doesn't support these platforms, and there's no plan for supporting them in a near future.

There are quite a few problems with this.

1) None of them draw windows; they just have a full screen to display the "application."  This would require modifications to how SFML operates.
2) The Xbox 360 uses DirectX, not OpenGL.  I don't even know if the graphics card that it uses supports OpenGL.
3) You can't exactly "compile" an executable for these platforms.  And if you do, it would require homebrew, which is illegal (and won't be made official, nor will anyone likely make it).

Last I heard they don't give you access to hardware acceleration and other hardware. It's sort of a faux homebrew system.
