I'm by no means an expert on PS3 Linux, but a tiny problem here could be that the PS3 has basically a ppc architecture, while DEFCON is built for x86 processors.

What is the state of OpenGL on PS3 Linux? Last time I checked, it was stuck in low performance software only mode, with an experimental build of Mesa that takes advantage of the Cell architecture in the making.

Do Introversion have plans to release a PPC-compatible executable for linux? Surely they could work something out with Ambrosia...
