Well thinkk about about it this way. Why would you make a homebrew app for a homebrew console, when you can easily make it for a pc. Most homebrew people don't make complex games or apps. And even if they did, they would probably make it for a pc that can use usb gamepads instead of a homebrew console that essentiallly does the same thing. the only way i can see that happening is if the console was ultra portable (like the size of 2 psps stacked on each other and had wireless everything
Exactly what I was going to mention.Quote:

Well to be true homebrew it will have keyboard support and include a user friendly but very powerful programming language program that even joe blogs could use. I think also it will need support for all sorts of readable media,a fast cpu processor, wifi,bluetooth and 3G support internet ready, 1 Terabyte of ram and able to process next gen graphics, Also I think it should look cool and not out of place in your living room. Why not use a mac or a PC or even a Windows Mobile smartphone then??
In fact I had an idea for a homebrew console quite a while ago. I think Its a great idea. however the homebrew scene would need to grow a little, we need more people interested in this idea. maybe some hard moders could come up with a few ideas based on pc parts or something ?
I have a 300 gig hard drive in my xbox and emulate everything from crappy calculators right up to Playstation 1, Not that well though but the rest are perfect emulators including N64, it can even run linux and emulate windows 98 what more could you ask for?
And immagine the emulation possibilities with the Xbox 360? A triple core processor running at approx 9ghz!!!!!!!
Yeah, I probably wouldn't waste my money on it. What would it be able to do that a PC can't? At least with the gp2x it's a handheld.

But i would like to have a small handheld with homebrew software - especially emulators. I can imagine a fast version of the gp2x. Today a 600Mhz handheld is possible. How about a quad core cpu?
And a display like a psp, but a touchscreen like on pocket pcs. So emulation of systems that have a mouse would be possible.
Those were just some ideas...
