Full Version: Would an Homebrew Console Be a Realistic Venture and What Would you Need?

The systems on sale today are great in their own way but none apart from the made for homebrew GP2X handheld console support Homebrew and Emulation.

So what got me thinking is could a Homebrew Console (like a Wii/PS3 etc) be done and done cheaply but with a decent enough spec for Homebrewers and Independent Programmers to learn their craft on.

Any homebrew console really would need i would say a processor of 700Mhz, at least 64MB of ram or even 128mb ram. A decent graphics chip that can do 2d and 3D.

For storage and maybe a virtual Memory option say use SD Cards, cd/dvd drives are expensive and break a lot so a static device would be longer lasting ?

Maybe USB ports and possibly a VGA Out.

You can see where im going with this but for what price could this realistically be done and also what specs would you include. I for one think Wifi would be needed for Online Homebrew games.

Now if only someone would take this Dream and develop it.

Any thoughts on this guys...

Thanks Wraggster,
