Hi,
i am glad to announce the IndieGO! gaming system the first time outside of my home community (commodore Amiga / AROS), exclusive on my favorite console news site since the glory dreamcast days : )
As the title says: We are working on a open gaming system called IndieGO! www.indiego-gaming.com
You have now the chance to win one of the first beta consoles.
You will need to register at www.ares-shop.de and give us a like on our facebook page.
We plan to start the public beta in april 2013.
The Hardware is not yet set in stone but it will be enough to emulate, virtualize and to run current and NexGen PC-Games for Linux and Windows(through Wine).
Some but not all infos (since it is still WIP) can be found on out website.
In the moment we are finalizing the last bits like packaging (design) and building a distributor network.
What is special about it?
Well we are gamers like you! We now what you wan't and we don't rely on your money.. we don't melk you and we don't limit you.
The system allows to install Homebrew, you are free to buy from STEAM, Desura or our own store.
You can install games from SD-card, CD/DVD.
The OS is based on Aeros r4 (www.aeros-os.org) and it allows to run classic Amiga (CD32) games with a legal Kickstart replacement. It also allows to run classic DOS Games (with autodetection of games when CD/DVD's are inserted). And many more. It will also come with a Scene demo channel where you can enjoy the latest realtime scene demos for virtually any system you can think of.
BTW. regarding homebrew. We like the wiibrew.org page and would like to have something like this... if you think you can start something like this, feel free to contact us.
Everything we offer is legal. No rom dumps or any protected 3rd party library will be used. At least by us.
