I've been looking at all these entertainment sytems. Nintendo
Genesis etc. I don't like what I see, quite frankly. I would
like to put out this "wierd" idea. An OPEN video game standard.
That is IDENTICAL hardware that can be hacked to poeple's hearts
content. And be programed by ANYONE with a little knowledge. I
have some ideas already how to go about it.
First it will require being patented. Reason? So everyone has
access to it AND so that some other company doesn't patent it and
steal it off the market so they can sell thier own proprietary
format at thier extortionary prices. COPYRIGHT. All software
will be copyrighted for the SAME reasons as above. So no one
else can say it's THIERS.
Base machine ideas. 68k based with a built in kernal
... A tagline a day keeps the vultures away.
