CLUSTER LIBRARY-PLAYSTATION-HOMEBREW · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-01-09
PlayStation 2 homebrew libraries
The cluster comprises ports and tools for PlayStation 2 homebrew development, covering compression (ZSO, deflate, lz4, xz), image formats (PNG, JPEG), archives (ZIP), sound, fonts, and ASCII art. Dated entries are heavily concentrated in January 2023 (10 entries) with a single entry in January 2026, indicating a long quiet period after initial activity. Traction is led by ZSO-Converter with 2 stars, while other tracked products have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
