The DCEmu Interview - Question 16 - What Would Make the Perfect Homebrew Console ?

[geise69]

A perfect Homebrew console would be Pandora. More of a handheld, but for what I want it would be the perfect homebrew device. It's going to have all the emulators I need, plus a group of dedicated devs that have already contributed some fine software for the gp2x.

agreed I am really looking forward to that i just hope it will have an "open with" feature so you can just select a rom and it will open

Looks: like the NDS in the way it looks, but with bigger screens.

Power: The power to emulate a psp on the top screen and an original xbox on the bottom at the same time. at least a gig of ram.

a PS3 that worked as a over sized, overpowerd PSP...
who wouldn't like a PS3 with all the homebrew ability of a PSP...

[____anders____]

The ability to emulate something as powerful as xbox 360 at full speed.

hehe, that's a good one
i'm sure that if it would be portable too, then..
damn it would be expensive, but then we would be able to emulate all the consoles that exist ATM, except PS3, but who would want to emulate that crap..(don't flame me)

I like the idea of HB Wii, let the hackers and homebrew devs have their fun with the wiimote functionality, etc..!!

It would have to be a handheld, it would be similar to psp with able to emulate all the old consoles etc, although, I would prefer it if the company actually prefers to welcome homebrew and entrain their customers instead of trying to block it and just see the customers as moneybags... :\

The console would have to be easy to code with downloadable game engines. The game engines would be flexible so anyone could create a decent game.

Meh, I'll edit it when I have more time, I could go on and on about this topic. :P

Perfect homebrew console for me:
480x272 screen
4 face buttons with shapes on them
2 shoulder buttons
1 analog nub
MemoryStick Pro Duo slot
333MHz Processor
64MB of RAM

Boy, wonder if they'll ever make a console like that...

I sure hope they do!!!! And mabye it would be so unbelievable it could perfecty emulate everyones favourite classic system like the ps1. That be too good to be true. I know Id buy it!!!!!!!!!

This is an easy question:

something very similar to the psp but open source. onboard memory, at least 100gb. 2 analogs. great battery life. memory slots, usb ports. capable of emulating the entire n64 library at full speed.

i'd pay $500 for this...happily!
