Since the PS3 ran on modified OpenBSD, would it be possible to run physical disc games trough a disc drive on a Linux laptop by downloading the needed libraries? In what way would I need to modify the games/system?
Would the architecture play a big role? My thinkpad barely runs RPCS3 but can handle AAA steam titles.
even if you grabbed all the code available on a ps3, there is no way in hell to make a x86_64 machine run a program compiled for a powerpc cpu except by emulation or just-in-time-recompilation… good luck
And I cannot recompile the games because they’re coded for this exact architecture and there’d be many losses, right?
In theory you can recompile by translating the instructions, the problem is the game engine assumes things about the hardware that is no longer true when running on your computer, such as memory model and more. Patching this up makes it slow.
give it a couple decades of manpower and eventually it will become viable
might actually come true at some point, like what happened with n64 games
