Thats for Linux by the way - you would still need some sort of emulator to run Windows games.

Funny story :

Got the lastest Linux Format magazine, to try the distros that can run from the DVD.

Tried the Sun Java one - crashes on two machines during initialisation (a TFT and a standard monitor one) - get a nice blank black screen. Have to reset the computer.
Tried the Koppix(sp?) one - works fine, except for one slight problem : Doesn't recognise the nVidia itergrated network chip, so cant use the Internet on it. At least this one now knows about TFT monitors.

Still waiting for Linux to catch up...

I once played Manic Miner on a Spectrum emulator running on an Atari ST emulator running on a PC, but trying to play DB games on a PS2 is just silly.

Listen all ye DB console hopefuls - We'd all love to code for consoles, and you can if you like C++, but until Gates commisions Lee to code DBPro-Xbox, there's nothing we can do, so don't waste your time.

Hehe, where's the fascination with OGL - OGL sucks, leave that to them Blitzers who are forever dreaming about BlitzMax and scary world beyond DX7. OGL is so difficult to program and so hardware specific that even if Lee made a version of DBPro that rendered using OGL, you'd still be stuck for 2D, sound, music, and there's still no way you'd get it working on anything but a PC. Come to terms with it dude, DB-OGL will never ever happen.

Our very best hope is that we'll see a language like DBPro for the X-Box, but even that will never happen because frankly, professionals don't want us to make our own games on consoles, neither does M$. I suppose we should have supported Net Yaroze more, then hobbiest console programming would have been taken more seriously.

i bought the kit over 2 years ago i think and it can do more than people think plus you can modify the ps2 config files and tweak it to your liking frogot what i did to get win98 to work but it was not very hard for a sucky programer and quake2 ran on software mode only in 640x480 any lower or higher it would crash plus it can run c++ compliers so it should run db no prob.

only thing for keeping me from testing it is i broke my ps2 by dropping it a few months ago.
