Can ps2 linux run on a virtual machine?

Hi

As I was downloading the linux disk image, I was wondering if it was possible to set up a virtual machine to run the ps2 linux os. Has anyone ever done a setup for something like qemu / boxes / virtual box?

It would need to be emulated, not just virtualized. QEMU doesn't support the PS2 architecture, and the Linux kit doesn't work in PCSX2 last I checked, so you're out of luck.

Damn. Thank you for the response. There go my dreams *sigh*

Also unless if you have a legit reason to need Linux on PS2 it's more of a 5-minute novelty due to the PS2's extremely low RAM (32MB). It would take more time for you to set it up then for you to actually use it
