?+ [sldev] slviewer on PLAYSTATION3

[Kajikawa Jeremy]

I agree... the only way would be for an independent to actually write
 a specific application for the platform using the Official SDK and dont
 bother with the Linux wrapper (256MB is already a squeeze)
 and that the PS3 itself has such a memory limit makes things quite
difficult
 unless the SDK provides support for OpenGL along with other materials,

Would a bare Linux kernel with python as init be able to even run
anything
 fast enough for a decent system with all the required support ?

I doubt even THAT stripped down a Linux platform would still be using
too
 much memory but it would certainly be a possible mechanism.

Im looking at something similar to that (python wrapped by a shell) for
 performing on various platforms but need to get the wrapper rebuilt
first.
