But on a PS2, isn't it possible to run linux, and therefore UAE (A1200 emulator) ?


I don't think it's gonna be that simple - Linux can run on a PS-2, yes. UAE runs on Linux - yes.

BUT UAE also has inline assembly IIRC - so if that's that case, (and I think it is - especially with the JIT compiler) then it may not compile on the PS2 architecture, UNLESS someone has done a UAE for PS2 port (which I'm searching for right now).

I know there is a UAE for X-Box, but as the original poster doesn't want one.

Side note: I'm not up on the current sales price of a PS2.. One thing to look at is if selling the 1200 is worthwhile - will it give you enough return enough to make a difference buying whatever console is decided upon?

Cheers
Siggy.
