My knowledge is that Sony prevented running software on Playstation devices
other than Sony prepared software , mainly games .

Therefore , use of any external software on Playstation is not possible .

At the beginning such a work was possible , even to construct clusters of
Playstations .

Later on Sony has prevented such usages .
