IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY

fail move otherwise, if chipset is completly different could they not emulate?

Emulating PowerPC with an X86 chip is nasty.

eh... no :) look at dolphin-emu or apple's rosetta. *but* emulating the ps3 is absolutely no option - ppc + 6 ppu's to be emulated, also the graphics-chip. not to mention the whole system itself, reconstructing busses etc.

definitely not gonna happen.
