Hey Majik,

The author of the libSDL library says he's managed to port his library
over to PS2Linux (though I don't think the library supports Yaroze,
unfortunately...)

He also says that he ported a game of his to the platform and got to
play it on the TV with the controllers.

If you read Japanese, there are a couple of good mailing lists on PS2
Linux, and some people are even running web sites on their PS2 boxes!
