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

[WhizzBang]

Geez, that looks ugly.

The perfect home TV console for me would be some kind of PC box that:
1) was small and quiet
2) had USB ports that accepted most USB keyboard and Joypads without installing drivers like Windows XP does
3) used SD cards for data storage
4) was powerful enough to emulate computers and consoles up to N64

I would say the best homebrew device currently is the ipod touch but I think when the pandora comes out it will own in as long as it looks a little better that its current state.

Best hombrew devide would have:

-4.3" touchscreen

-802.11 g/n wifi

-bluetooth 2.1

-full qwerty keyboard

-4 gb or more built in memory

-lithium ion battery

-2 SDHC card slots

-2 analog sticks

so pretty much the pandora LOL



P.S. Oh by the way whizzbang your pretty much describing the wii lol

A handheld with the ability to emulate more demanding SNES games, N64, Gamecube, Genesis/CD/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, PS1/PS2, Xbox, maybe Wii.
And dont forget about Arcade!
It would also have an optional touch screen and be the size of maybe a PSP (although it would have more shoulder buttons and a 2nd analog stick).

And a good web browser/OS.

I believe the best homebrew console would be believe it or not:

Something that runs like a pc

you cant take it on the road and attach to the tv

it can do the highest resolutions available today.

it aswell can do most if not any of the emulators available today

but i'd like to see this system not run anything commercial and i mean PC commercial

which of coarse the Pandora would be that system lol

[psyfirefly]

A DS with a higher screen resolution, faster CPU and more RAM. The 3 things that severely limit homebrew on the DS. Although there are ways around the latter 2 with the new generation of flash carts!

LOL, if it could only emulate Zelda OOT it would be absolutely perfect, of course besides what it can do now

1. bug free
2. fits in your pocket
