They have a cpu core for mips emulation, I believe it may only be r3000 though?.. Also, there exist numerous open-source playstation emulators, which I believe are r3000 based too... The mame & mess projects are matured open-source projects that have been ported across the universe, they're really pretty cool, this work would be a likely fit with the mess project. If you implement by way of pure emulation, you'd not need to change the kernel at all? Phil "John D. Davis" wrote: > I am modifying the linux kernel to be able to be run by a simulator.
