I'm going to support any game that has three or more votes only. Some games I don't support with my current computer, so I may have to rely on the community to provide the needed information.

Hi!!

i been monitering this topic for a few days and like the idea og an OS stripped down for gaming.

here is a list of game support i would like:

NFS UnderGround 1 & 2

NFS Most Wanted

Quake 4

Doom 3

thats it for now.

And also i also tend to play quake and NFS Most Wanted online, does this os have full wireless support, and laptop support??

[DXK]

Yeah this sound really cool

The games I play are NFSU 1&2/NFSMW/BF2

If you need testers or help please let me know...

Right now I have two options: to release GE without any game support within a week or two or to release GE in a two or more months with a few games supported, possibly even a majority of games. Keep in mind that either of these releases will still be a beta and more will come.

Release a beta asap, I say!!

Release a beta asap, I say!!

i agree i really wanna c wot this looks likes

[suryad]

Beta with some benchmarks would be great.

@suryad

I'm not releasing any benchmarks until my new computer arrives, for fear that you'll laugh at my pathetic hardware .

[suryad]

Aegis we all love you here...no laughing at someone who is doing hard work to contirbute to the community.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to release it on Christmas day, as I hoped.... Expect it to be out right before New Years.

[tom_vilsack]

Well there goes xmas joking....

Questions:

You mentioned 56k and broadband for gaming in back thread,so i take it internet access will be part of it?

Will we be able to load firefox,and use xp built in fwall?

Will loading drivers give us .dll he** ie: nvidia drivers

Would love a nice simple os with just basic firefox access with my broadband....ive done something similar with slackware,but would like a win one also....

The modifications your conducting, would they be abe to be applied to XP x64 edition?

[Aegis]

@tom_vilsack

Yes, there will be internet support. What's the fun of games without being able to play against others ?

You won't be needing a firewall, as GE will be secure by default.

I don't see how loading drivers will give you DLL hell. That's usually caused by buggy software that shares the same DLL's as the system.

@Nakatomi2010

I won't know until I get my new computer. But hopefully, yes.
