Do you have any idea of the cost?
pcs failed ages back.
I know that reality gaming or a branch of them are trying again with
the aim of shifting full time to the console.
However, all thats known internally is a secret code and some really
basic specs.
I don't even know what the status of that is, or in fact the console
of the company and the branch thats working on it.
I must say it would be nice to be up with the play though.

how about basing it on a custom console debian with a custom menu
for games and stuff. and then you buy your games over a server also
running debian console or grml based on debian.

It sounds like a $25 or $35 Raspberry Pi unit could serve as a
custom console. You'd need to hook up a USB power supply (such as
certain phone-chargers) and a USB keyboard, then either plug in some
headphones or connect the HDMI output to your home stereo system.
Depending on the game, you could also add a mouse or USB game-pad.
Game authors could either provide the game's image file and have you
write it to your own SD card, or they could charge more for
pre-formatted SD cards much like the old Atari or NES cartridges.
You'd then just plug in the card, power on the system, and you're
right into the game.
The $35 unit has a built-in network adapter which could provide for
networked games. The common hardware along with the included Linux
system image would allow the game authors to ensure the same
experience for everyone.
Authors could even release multi-game packs that would boot into a
menu where you can choose one of multiple games and then have that
game launched.
Just throwing ideas out on the table...

too bad there's not some sort of custom console OS that you flash
onto your console and once flashed, the console is accessible with
accessible games you can buy from between $5 and $20 or so. I would
love that!

Hello Josh,
Actually, they do mod the console games in a lot of cases. More
and more console games are being modded and customized than you
might think.
Cheers!

you cannot make game mods.
