Think this is impressive? Want to play StarCraft on your PS3 as well? It’s definitely possible. The requirements? You need to take advantage of your PS3’s little known capability to run Linux. Linux you ask? Yes, because that’s the only way to run Windows. Since StarCraft came out way back in the day when Windows 95 was king, that’s all you need to install on top of Linux through an emulation layer. Fortunately, the PS3 has enough horsepower to run Windows 95, even via software emulation, so StarCraft is actually playable. Just imagine it, playing StarCraft on your big screen TV!
The steps to running Windows on your PS3 are a little bit involved, but we have step by step guides for you. Follow our guide on how to install Linux on your PS3. Then follow our guide on how to install Windows XP on your PS3 or Vista, except replace XP/Vista with Windows 95. Unlike Vista, Windows 95 is actually usable so StarCraft is playable.
After you’ve got Windows 95 running on an emulation on top of Linux, you can then install StarCraft on it.
