About AIR PS3

Streams audio from an iPhone to your PS3 over your home network. It's an AirPlay 1 audio receiver: the music app keeps running on the phone and the PS3 plays the sound.

  1. Install the PKG from the XMB Package Manager.
  2. Launch AIR PS3 from the Game column.
  3. On the iPhone, open the AirPlay output menu and pick AirPS3.
  4. Press START on the controller to go back to the XMB.

Works on Evilnat 4.93 CFW. It needs CFW, not official firmware.

It only plays while it's open. No AirPlay video, no Spotify Connect, and no music in the background while a game runs. SPRX for background audio in development.

Known limitations

Returning from the PS-button menu may introduce a short audio-service hitch; previous development testing measured approximately 45 ms at its worst. This release does not support AirPlay video, Spotify Connect, background game-audio mixing, or resident plugin playback.

V1.0.0 is working well on the development console. Detailed previous hardware observations and their limits are retained in the test matrix; a subjective report is not a substitute for broad compatibility testing. For this, we will need you guys!

For builders

The published package is app 1.0.0, SFO 01.00, Title ID AIRPLAY02. Its source, SHA-256 checksum, package inspection results, and third-party notices are available in the release.

Want to verify or modify the source? Follow Build from Source for the Linux x86_64 / Lima + PS3DK v0.27.0 / PSL1GHT toolchain, tests, and PKG checks.

Thanks for giving this old console another trick.
