Bricks-OS - Operating System for Many Consoles

[wraggster]

Hmm found this news at GBAdev (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=16166) and seems very interesting, Bricks OS is a Operating System for Many Consoles, heres some release info:


Hello Everyone,

I would like to announce the Bricks-OS project. Bricks-OS is an operating system for game consoles.

The list of currently supported game consoles:

- Gameboy Advance
- Nintendo DS
- GameCube
- Playstation2
- Playstation Portable
- Wii
- i386 PC (not really a Game Console :-)

The list of current features include:

- Preemptive multitasking (even on the GBA and NDS)
- Message passing
- Hardware OpenGL implementation (on some consoles)
- Software OpenGL implementation (for all consoles not supporting hardware 3D)


Binary versions of the latest release (v0.0.3) can be downloaded, demonstrating a Software OpenGL implementation (GBA, GC, Wii, PC, PSP), and a Hardware OpenGL implementation (NDS, PS2). The source can be downloaded using SVN, hosted by sourceforge.net.

Please take a look at my website for more information, screenshots and downloads:

This is my first release, so please let me know whet you think.

Seems like the concept behind Java. Write a single application and let the interpreter convert it to machine code for that specific platform.

Looks very interesting, I'll be keeping my eye on it.
