If you want to run PC executables on PS4 and Xbox One (Xbox 360 has been made well before GCN, it's an AMD VLIW (R300 perhaps?) so I figure you mean Xbox One) you can probably make drivers from the Radeon drivers. However it does not help with running PS4/X1 executables on PC in any way other than knowing a bit about underlying hardware.

My brain scrambled while trying to write One. I have trouble keeping the names straight because they called the XBox Three the XBox One. I meant the new XBox.
I think I maybe misunderstood which way nejenendn was talking about. I thought nejenendn was referring to the difficulty of running Linux on a PS4/XBox One.
Sorry, i was speculating on running xbox one and ps4 executables on the desktopp. Assumably microsoft would add support for xbox executables in this scenario. I don’t see Sony ever doing that; we’d need something like wine, or an actual emulator/dynamic recompiler.
