You first have to sign an NDA with Sony, and buy a very expensive bit
of devkit hardware (some 10 k$ at the time).

Then you port a Linux to it, or port Angband to their proprietary OS.

Then you send it to Sony, who will encrypt it with their proprietary
crypto, and press a few disks.

(I've been part of a PSX2 Beowulf thingy (the float performance of the
Playstation is adequate for the price), but it never went anywhere,
due to above reasons).

Sony makes Microsoft look open. Bleh.
