I tried it out last night (I managed to dig up an old PS6 CD) it actually works quite well!.. Pretty much every filter I tried worked without a single hitch. I'm on current at the moment and I can build binaries for 4,5,7 (no 6 but i'm sure I could borrow someone's machine for a few mins to handle this) When I eventually find time I'll make a port for it that will install the binary versions later on at some point I'll add an option to build from source if people have the PS6 SDK. I'm not sure how feasible distributing a binary version would be (yet), since: verm@peach# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ldd pspi.exe.so |wc -l 38 May cause a lot of issues, it just requires wine+gimp, however I havn't tried to see how portible it is between versions of the gimp.
