Hi guys,
primetime is coming near!
I am preparing the launch of the "Ares mediaCENTER". This thing is inspired by the good old Amiga CDTV from commodore.
The system is driven by an open-source OS called AROS. AROS is a reimplementation of Amiga OS 3.1 for platforms like i386, x64, PPC, ARM and more. It is a lightweight multitasking OS which boots in under 7sec into a full desktop.
Whatever.. we finished the worlds first Media Center Application for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS called AMC (Amiga/AROS/ANY media center)
To get some funding for AROS is started in 2009 with selling AROS compatible/optimized PC's called AresOne.
The Ares mediaCENTER is the sum of AresOne + AMC.
What can you expect from this?
The Ares mediaCENTER is primary aimed to audio- and videophiles and Retro gamers. Lets say people with a age about 30+
It comes with AMC as frontend which can be controlled via a Remote. The package includes one USB-Jopyad and a collectors Edition of the Competition Pro Joystick.
AMC plays AudioCD's, DVD's, VideoCD's and nearly all video formats.
AMC can also use an external "mplayer"- binary for playback.
AMC has officially granted support for the "tmdb" database to fetch movie informations.
AMC allow watching and recording of Web-TV and Radiostreams.
AMC has an open PlugIN-system. YOU the community can create own PlugINS to enhance AMC's capabilities. And AROS the open-source OS is a very nice playground for Coders! If you are interested in coding for it, please contact us or visit www.aros-exec.org (the most known AROS forum)
Until the release we will havve finished a PlugIN called "EMULA" which is an Emulator and Games launcher. Add own emulators and Games, browse through your library and enjoy your favorite blast from the past ; )
What is the intention?
Creation of an open gaming system like Pandora, but this time you can really easy build your own System based on HTPC's. See the Ares MediaCENTER as reference-system. It's all about funding and gain interest in AROS. FUN.
Visit the WIP page www.aresmediacenter.de about some details.
