MIPSEL processor

Most code these days are endian independant...

I googled and found this: For big endian this is mips-linux, for little endian mipsel-linux

"Porting between Linux on the PC and Linux on the PS2 is very easy. Both the PC and PS2 use the same endianness, the same word sizes, et cetera," says Sam Lantinga, a software engineer at Blizzard Entertainment (makers of the Diablo and Warcraft game franchises).

I guess somebody apt could port CS 1.6

okay thats what I had hoped for. I plan to run a game server on it for an mmorpg and the source requires little endian because I couldn't get it to run on my ps3 correctly. I cant wait to get my mem card back with FCMB =D
