Hi,

ARAnyM <http://aranym.org/> == ATARI Running on Any Machine, the
GNU / GPL ATARI Virtual Machine runs on PlayStation 3. It can be
launched on PS3 hosted with PPC-Linux with the *miniPack* at

<http://eureka.atari.org/miniPack.zip

Because it runs with PPC-Linux on PlayStation 3, it should also run
on any PowerPC machine. But I only built and tested it on my own
80Gb / WiFi / HD-Ready 720p PS3, with Gentoo / Linux.

Can somebody confirm me that the *miniPack* also works on other
PPC machines apart from PS3 ? It should run on Macintosh machines
hosted with PPC-Linux for instance, with various distributions ?

Thanks to help me testing the *miniPack* on a PowerPC machine you
may own, and report it. You'll have to launch `run_ppc.sh` and tell
me if an ATARI / GEM desktop appears like in

That certainly does not run on a PS3 without modifications. There is
no 'etc' or 'boot' subdirectory. The 'etc' is required, and the
kboot.conf file needs to be in there, so your 'distro' is NOT 'install
ready' for PS3 either.

Happy New Year 2009,

Obviously, you need either to install GNU/Linux on the PlayStation 3.

There are several PowerPC distributions or better PPC64 dedicated for
PS3 ... Fedora, Yellow Dog Linux, Suse, PSUbuntu, Gentoo/Linux etc.

or ...

I didn't installed GNU/Linux on my own PlayStation 3. I much prefer
using liveCDs for PS3. I choose Gentoo/Linux liveCD. You can go there

They do not all run the 64 bit kernel. Those that do, do not all run in
64 bit userland.

I have 2 PS3s and I have SEVERAL distros installed on each.

I don't need any primers.

SDLMame runs on a PS3 and with it over 17GB of Game ROMs are available.

Some other ng may be more appropriate for that ...
