There's a Linux distro for PS2 so it would be just a matter of 
recompiling the source with different -march GCC flag. Rob C

bypassed so I guess Eu should be compiled on any platform which has
a port of GCC (many architectures!)

btw I've got Solaris 7 for Intel in my shelf. Never tried it, though.
Also FreeBSD and some Linuces. How about start to collect Unices
