I think, you will have to port the Ruby interpreter to the game-console.

It may have pitfalls, but I think it is not impossible if you are fit
in C and try it hard. I think you can ignore all the sources in the
ext directory, link statically, try to correct those parts which do not
compile and comment (#undef) all functionality that you can't repair.

I think that the main core of ruby is fairly OS independent or at
least not too OS dependent.
