Net Yaroze. That's what it is called. Trying to remember that the other day when thinking that some of the games I played on the OPM demo disc were quite good, most probably rubbish but the "Black" Playstation as it was known cost a lot so wasn't for people just casually trying.

they should re-release some of those on PSN. don't need any new stuff though

This guy is right. Sony did experiment with something similar to XNA called Net Yaroze back in 1997 for the PS1. But it didn't suceed mainly due to its own shortcomings.

thats a pretty cool project its ashame they didnt push it

side note, in a lot of developing nations sony has decded that they will not take royalties for developed ps2 games to be put out in those regions... sine they can not do the ps2 on the ps3 yet  (they might still figure out a full software emulation), why not let ps1 development tools with appropriate adapter software act as xna for the ps3, it would be cheap, and sony could cut down royalties for it to encourage developers to try new things
