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.

Lol, I wouldn't have called it "Bricks", but worth a look to make cross platform compatible programs.
Will check it out.

An interesting concept that will be worth watching down the road...

But right now, I'm correct in assuming that it doesn't really do much, right?

Will this be flashed to the memory, or just an EBOOT?

why not make a source package?
