What if Midnight Synergy had a operating system or game system ?

That would be cool if MS made it's own game system.

I just can't imagine why that is necessary. Making an OS or a game console is serious work, requires dozens of people working for multiple months. Plus, there isn't a point in this at all.The purpose of that is for a mass public, which MS doesn't have.

ms should have jobs so it would not be a lot of work for him.

I could make one for him.

Seriously, do you really expect that you can create an operating system/game console for him?

Keep in mind that MS is an independent company and he has us, the community, to help him. Since he started as an indie developer for his Wonderland series, it should remain the same.

Boot.ini
Code: Select all
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\OSDATA
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\MAINDATA=" Midnight Synergy OS" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
This should boot the computer.
then it should start the os system.

and make the system folders and files and config files and data.
and that error can't happen it would have to read the text error and data for this error to happen
It would just be a blank screen.
and SPCMDCON.SYS is a system file
that is in the system folder witch is not in the os system
only the boot.ini file

I can make a operating system for midnight synergy.

You're wasting your time. The amount of effort that goes into creating a game console is far, far more than what goes into just making a video game, which is already a lot. I'm pretty sure Midnight Synergy is more or less a one-man operation, too - I doubt that things will change that much in the foreseeable future.

Who knows? We could be talking to the next bill gates here. Whatever you feel like doing caton, do what YOU want. Don't let anyone discourage you.
Also, boh, your profile pic is pretty crazy. Not that i don't like it.

Perhaps it would be wise to stop and actually think before saying "I could make one for him".
Now even if you
were able to create this operating system, what are its uses? An OS which runs on a computer is out of the question; a game is sufficient.
What would be the point of an MS game console system? Who would buy it? Would the income generated from the sales of the game console actually exceed the money spent on making it?
Now, maybe it would be more feasible to convert the game for other consoles, such as 3ds or X-Box, but then again, you face the problem of lack of demand.

There is a fine line between innovation and delusion. Of course we won't stop Caton from doing whatever project he wants; we're simply giving a realistic perspective here.

I was sort of joking. But, i don't wanna insult him. Don't wanna be listed in his autobiography as "guy who insulted me".

sents blitz3d is open source I can add an other compiler.

You still have to find a compiler.

OH GOD you've got to be kidding me. If you seriously want to make a Blitz3D compiler, you have NO idea what amount of trouble you're getting yourself into. You may know Blitz3D better than 99% of us on the forum (if your Sonic project was really in Blitz3D) but creating a compiler... no, seriously, you have no idea how difficult that is.

Take Muzozavr's advice. It's nearly impossible to create a Blitz3D compiler. If, for whatever reason you
really wish to create a game for a different console, use a different program which includes the compiler.

by adding new code to blitz3d's source code.

I really don't think you are understanding the amount of effort and work that goes into making things like operating systems and compilers. Both are gigantic projects that would take professional teams of programmers/software engineers months (or even years) to make. It would be virtually impossible for one man to make something like that. The thousands of hours (and dollars) it would take to make an os and a game system would be very much wasted.

In MS's case, an OS is unnecessary. Unless a DOS game is counted as an OS.

Yes, there is a Meet and Greet forum. You can either create a new topic or just post in the Introductions topic.
