StarCraft running on PS3 using Yellow Dog Linux, Qemu, Windows 95
Linux may be taboo for a lot of us, but you’d better be prepared to give it a shot to try out this impressive trick. Using Yellow Dog Linux on the PlayStation 3, efaustus9 used Qemu to emulate Windows 95 on the platform, allowing him to run StarCraft.
