    just a wild idea.
    is this possible?
    playing PS3 games on the 7805 + BD with some emulator software?

    thanks.

    Yeah... hate to say it, but that day probably won't come any time soon =( The Cell processor in the PS3 is one heck of a chip... I don't believe there is a single CPU besides another CELL processor that could possibly emulate it at even remotely playable speeds. PS2 emulation (though still somewhat dodgy) has certainly come quite a ways, but still requires rather a bear of a system to handle well.

    (Reading-between-the-lines-translation: Narsnails system = BEAR)

    Hehehehehe.... Nice! Which ones have you been playing most, BTW? I
    haven't tried any PS2 Emulation in any of my most recent system builds (my PS2 itself is quite handy already, when I'm on the treadmill... but might be fun to take some of those games with me on my Gateway p-7805u... )
