This is not as far fetched as some may think!!

Technically it's possible but practically it's not! (If that makes sense )

You can't install any windows based apps on to the PS3 as they have been coded for x86 or x64 architecture and the PS3 uses Cell based architecture.

This is how you could in "theory" get Phoenix to run.

1. Install Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3 as a second OS
2. Find a Hardware x86 emulator (qemu is one which comes to mind, VMWare is another option)

It's important the emulator can emulate the x86 architecture.

3. Install Windows through your emulator.
4. Install Phoenix on Windows.
5. Done!

If only life was that easy! As I said this is theory, I have not tried it myself but I'm sure as mentioned before drivers would be an issue as well as the fact that running an emulator like qemu will only allow you to use about 1/10the the actual power of the real processor.

If you talk the guys at Phoenix really nice maybe they will re-code it for you so it will run on a Cell processor!
