As devlish as i am, that leaves room for suggestions

So could i suggest, in case nikolaos does not like the machine, that this machine is transferred to one of our game-porters ? Expecially if the machine has full support for AROS.

For some strange reason BSzili and/or serk comes to mind

regards,


PS: For some strange reason this post was (is?) only visible in threaded mode, so in an attempt to solve it i did an re-edit.

double post from mobile

you will get one. If you like it you can keep it and we have a deal.

phoenix: sure, I like to sell it in Norway. I just need to try it first to be sure it is something I can sell :)

Hi trans,
it is still too early to decide on final CPU/GPU, tomorrow I will have a phone call with AMD embedded devision.

Set in stone:
It will be based on AMD's APU design. Tendency is to use E-450 (Wii emulation is working good)
4GB DDR3 RAM (expandable to 16GB)
Wifi

The idea is to let dealers choose things like RAM/SSD/Drives by themselves. So they can make their on prices.

The base/reference system will come with:
30GB SSD
4GB DDR RAM
DVD/RW
Wifi
SD-Card-slot

Price range 200-300? (base price can be lower than 200? if dealers get better prices on SSD/ Drive /RAM and if the put those components together on their own.

Any specs/price range?

Me too : )
If you could later take care about norway I would be glad ; )

phoenix: looking good :D I have big hopes for this system.

I have added "!Lottery Prototypes won't come with an SSD or a DVD-drive! Only SD-card (factory loaded and copy-protected, you will have a second Partition for installation)!"

..... and for (retro) gamers

Hi,

some infos can be found here:

http://www.facebook.com/indiegoretro

It is aimed as new mini System besides the AresOne : audience = AROS users
It is aimed as Amithlon-style System: audience = former Amithlon users
It is aimed as Retro gaming device (plays everything PC(DOS,WIN,Linux,AROS,AmigaOS, consoles via emulation)
It is aimed as nexgen gaming system based around Desura and Steam

We will also publish physically some of the extraordinary Indie or retro games (relaunch). Those releases will be limited and certified.

Actually we are quite mute except for the Facebook page and her on AE.

First prototypes will be shipped in middle of this month.

In order to raise the number Facebook -followers I announce a lottery.

As soon we have 100 followers on Facebook I will let choose randomly one of the registered users at www.ares-shop.de . Then again at 250 followers, then again at 500 followers and then again at 1000 followers.

Every chosen user will get a IndieGO! Prototype for free. If the numbers are reached after the release of the final system the chosen ones will get the final set (basic version).

Actually The official IndieGO! Logo and website are WIP, as is the packaging and the DVD-case design.. (Ares logo is just a placeholder)

The OS is based on AEROS r4.
The official release will have no AROS preinstalled (may change, depends on some other decisions).
Aeros r4 allows to automatically install AspireOS, IcAROS or Broadway so Amiga dealers can preinstall what they like. Also only AmigaOS if wanted

Our stage 2 bootloader can be used to Install also OS's from other CPU-architectures, as long they are compatible to the available emulator engines. So you can basically choose to boot into AmigaOS 3.9 or AROS 68k or AtariTOS or
RiscOS or Solaris or whatever you like.

Gamers will love the fact that you can virtually throw any CD/DVD into the IndieGO!.. if not straight out of the box you can easily get the needed stuff via the software-center.

!Lottery Prototypes won't come with an SSD or a DVD-drive! Only SD-card (factory loaded and copy-protected, you will have a second Partition for installation)!
