PS3 development is vastly different from dreamcast development. As far as I know, a method for making homebrew for it actually doesn't exist as of yet. And even if it existed, SDL on the PS3 would be wildly lacking when it comes to using the systems potential, even if you only want 2D.
Quit procrastinating and make something awesome.

I should probably add to this that a friend of mine does some PS3 development and you need a modded PS3.

SDL currently isn't working fully on the PS3, as there are some audio issues that prevent it from being built and I'm not entirely sure the progress of it.

However, there are other libraries out there you can use like tiny3d that have 3D and also 2D capabilities.
Homebrew is very much available, but you need to be on earlier firmwares and have CFW etc.
There's no place like ~/
