deci3dbg for PS3 and IDA

Something sweet I ran across...

PS3 dev oct0xor has released deci3dbg, which is a Ida Pro debugger module for PlayStation 3, here is a quote from his blog:

deci3dbg - Ida Pro debugger module for Playstation 3
Whoever used to debug on Playstation 3 knows that there is only one debugger available - SN Systems ProDG. It has some nice features (that I even miss in others debuggers) but overall... its not that good. There also was a gdb client but it was pulled around 1.xx sdk (specification changed, there is no more step cmd, etc). So after some time that I spent with ProDG I realized that it just dont works for me and decided to get host debugger to communicate with Ida. It would have allowed me to use all those nice features like scripts, plugins, tracing, leaving comments in place, interface and hotkeys to which I am used to over the years.

Okay, I hear that someone of you is asking why I did Ida module and not some kind of gdb proxy instead, and reasons are simple:

I already have experience of making gdb proxys and hosts, but not had experience of making Ida debugger modules (actually not much who did this)
Ida's gdb client is not open source
ppc gdb stub is buggy in 6.1. I do own the latest build of Ida Pro, but lets be honest here, most dont. So I was making this code around 6.1 version of Ida. Do not need to mention that Ida Pro 6.5 is backward compatible with 6.1, and even debugger module compiled with idasdk61 would work just fine (much better) with 6.5....
