Speaking of the PS2 Linux port, is there anyone working on an unencumbered
replacement for the proprietary Sony disk that it relies on? I'd like to
port some functionality to the PS2, but you have to agree to some rather
restrictive things (like not to distribute your code on CD) to use their
software. This means that if you develop on the PS2 Linux kit, the only
people who can use your result are other people who have the kit, as I
understand it. I find this greatly reduces the attractiveness of it, since I
was kind of hoping to do something subversive like make Free educational
software that would run on a consumer Playstation 2. (Okay, I'm not just
chomping at the bit, but it would be an interesting possibility).
I notice there's a Gnu Game Boy replacement project, although I've not yet
found out how to actually make a cartridge from the data.
Is there a general resource on Linux/Open-Source platforms for computer
gaming?
