As you may or may not know, someone has hacked the PS3 firmware to re add other OS support. Other OS allows arbitrary code to be executed on the system. My question is this. Would it be possible to run a PS3 game in other OS with tools? And would such a run be accepted?

I don't think it's possible at the moment ... Maybe in 5 or 10 years?

I don't think it would be. Specifically, some of the problems: - The APIs normally exported by the hypervisor. - Stopping the execution in deterministic manner (including the SPUs). - Saving and Restoring GPU state (much easier on CPUs, as those are designed differently).

I don't see how it would make sense to try to get games running in linux instead of just hooking into the GameOS, and letting them run natively.

Well, you can't slow the game down if it's playing natively.

Something along the lines of hourglass might be possible. It'd probably be easier, and run faster to just write a ps3 emulator than trying to get ps3 games running in linux on a ps3, honestly.
