Emulation

R5900 QEMU can be used to emulate programs compiled for PlayStation 2 Linux.

Limitations

This PlayStation 2 Linux kernel is work in progress, and so far only some devices have been ported to the latest kernel version.

PlayStation 2 Linux runs R5900 programs and, under certain restrictions specified by the R5900 processor specific ABI (psABI), also generic MIPS I, MIPS II and MIPS III programs.
