I've had this idea kicking around for a while, but I have absolutely 0 experience with PS2 development... please don't flame me if I make any blatantly obvious mistakes...

Anyway, I was playing around with some mini-linux distrobutions, and one of them includes a compact opensource web browser written in C called Dillo.

It led me to thinking ...

Would it be possible to make changes to the code and then compile it with the PS2DEV libraries so you could browse the internet on your PS2?

From what I understand, the PS2 has 2 processors. Which parts of the code you would send to the EE, and which parts to the IOP?

Also, is it true that the ps2dev librairies currently do not have usb mouse/keyboard support? and even if they did, extra code would have to be added right?

I remember hermes' PS2 RMP had a virtual onscreen mouse controlled through the ps2 game controller? That'd be another option instead of supporting a USB kb/mouse. Would either of these options be feasible?

Would anyone actually care to use something like this? Please help clear up some of these questions, I know I must sound like a clueless idiot.

I was thinking of to looking into learning ps2dev, and this project would give me an excuse to spend all that time ;)

Thanks,
