Cool Boot Ideas For Osv2
« on: May 06, 2004, 04:04:00 PM »
Here are some cool thoughts- what if content/context determined booting?

Examples:
I put in my favorite "backup" and a capable BIOS is loaded.

I put in my favorite orginal and the original BIOS loads.

I put in no disk (power on by power, not eject) and a BIOS configured to boot to a dash boots.

I put in a DVD and either DVD RegionX or the M$ one starts (dependant on dongle status)

I hit, say, yellow, during boot, and Cromwell loads.

I know half of this was already implemented, but the content detction isn't

the original or backup detection i dont think is a possibility, but then again i could be wrong

all those features though more or less would double the boot time at least because it would be loading up a hacked bios to detect your media then decide if it needs to load up whatever bios next, basically everything youre asking for is available except for the loading original bios w/ original game and hacked w/ backup
