Bios Mimicking 360 Always-accessible Home Blade
« on: March 13, 2006, 08:29:00 PM »


Well, Ive just thought about something. How cool would an always-accessible home-blade built into a bios be, like what the 360 has?

By home(guide?) blade, I mean the thing that you can always access that has features like return to dashboard, change settings, etc. On the 360, it can be accessed anytime during a game.

I beleive its very possible, seeing what the xecuter 3 live bioses do, just maybe not to the extent of the 360. This could be incorporated into xbmc (somewhat) so that it launches a certain part of xbmc (or any other app for that matter) whenever a certain button is pressed on the home blade. Check out a 360 and you'll know what I mean. Its pretty cool.

Anyways, just a thought. What do you guys think?

If it was possible, it would have been done by now.

Even if it were possible to do something like this through the bios, the games don't support it.
It's impossible...

I wouldn't say it's totally impossible.  There is a possibility of added functionality shown by the IGR that most modchips have.  You know that the bios can be accessed during a game through a controller combinations.  If there is a talented innovator out there who wants it enough.... who knows.
