Seeing as I’ve just gone over the 2000 posts mark I thought it might be time for something daft… or maybe its not.
I just setup my laptop acting as a gaming console. I.e.
- Its sat in my front room
- Its plugged into my TV
- Its controlled via a gamepad rather than a keyboard/mouse
Heres some shots for anyone interested :- http://www.cokeandcode.com/gravitybattle/javaconsole
Was just wondering about us (as a community) building a console framework to run on a lightweight(ish) PC, support downloading games, playing games and buying games all controlled via a controller (or 2?).
Then we’d just need to wait for someone entrepeneur with enough cash to come along and market it in those Epia(?) boxes that Matzon likes.
Gravity battle appears like it’d run on pretty cheap hardware (GF1, 256MB memory, P3).
Any thoughts,
Kev
