Since the PS3 ran on modified OpenBSD, would it be possible to run physical disc games trough a disc drive on a Linux laptop by downloading the needed libraries? In what way would I need to modify the games/system?

Would the architecture play a big role? My thinkpad barely runs RPCS3 but can handle AAA steam titles.
