RE: [GD-Consoles] Linux for PS2 kit

[Dirk R. <ri...@ph...>]

The development on ps2/linux is totally different from development on the
raw ps2 machine. To protect its IP ps2/linux runs in a virtual machine, ie.
an abstraction layer to the hardware... I do not expect that anything done
on ps2/linux is of use on the ps2 itself.

I see. Where can I look for more info like this?

Well, let's say I'm developing an experimental engine, and just curious
how well it would port to PS2. What do you think, is it worth it?

Thanks.
