PS3 Emulating PPC Linux ELFs from GameOS (OS-in-APP concept)

[DUDUŚ]

Hey!
I saw Athena for PS2 & Terminal usage... huh? Next level?
I have idea for making homebrew app for emulating PCC Linux ELF files just from GameOS's homebrew app with compiled-up Linux syscalls & functions required for baremetal emulating (like ELKS & FreeBSD's Linuxulator).
It would be great idea for HEN!
PS: In XMB we have ~32 MB of free ram w/o any plugins installed.

There is no point of developing Linux for PS3. CELL architecture actually is not common architecture and there is no skilled developers for them. PS VITA has ARM processor, by that many people can develop something to PS VITA. PS VITA scene is so alive today, also same thing happens in PS3. Hard and unique architecture causes slowing development.

He have in mind kind a API translator (like Wine for Windows on Linux) or simulator (like early ARMv7 of Android apps on Linux/Windows), not developing any apps for Linux.

And personally Im not sure if this can be even achieved, also not sure the point other than getting rid of OtherOS boundaries. I vote for yes because that would be interesting, some kind of AsbestOS idea ressurection. ^^
