Second Life v BZFlag on PS3

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Shannon:

>From the posting you presented the PowerPC CPU family which also includes the Cell, are all excluded.  SL only runs on Intel and compatible CPUs, according to their system requirements.

As Second Life is not really a game but rather a sort of cyberspace of social activity I'm not all that sure that people interested in competitive gaming will find much interesting activity there.  

However, if you are interested the game BZFlag can be recompiled within YDL. It has run very well on earlier generation PowerPC systems such as G3 and G4 systems.  There is no reason why someone can't compile BZFlag so that it runs on the PS3 within YDL5.  Other open source games like BZFlag should run rather nicely within the PS3.

I don't yet have a PS3 myself. When I acquire one I'll then be able to address the question directly.
