Dex: That is frigging awesome! Does it support multiple windows or not, seeing as you only ever have one in the screenshots? (also, the menu looks more like a game console menu than a computer one. Speaking of which, a game-console OS would be pretty cool. I wonder if there's any easy-to-find hardware documentation on any of them, particularly PS3...)

Thanks to you both for the nice words.
@Selenic, You can run more than one of the built in apps at the same time, as they are really just threads in the main menu, and we have support for multi-threading, but DexOS is design to be a game console type OS, that is single tasking like the Xbox, DS e.t.c.

Offtopic, but your best bet for homebrew OS development on real hardware is to pick one of NGC/Wii/Dreamcast.

The PS3's HV1 hypervisor interface is to my knowledge reasonably well documented. However, you must remember you are running under a hypervisor, which enforces certain restrictions (Like no GPU access)

Oh.. I'm a bit late, I know.. ;)

Dex! Your GUI is AWESOME!!! Also, I like this concept, when only one window is on the desktop. It's much easier to use. Keep up the good work!

pcmattman: TrueType support is really cool! But is it cool to use 72pt console? :D ;)

Rewriting my kernel again, starting on PowerPC this time.

This was both amazingly easy (for dealing with firmware), and amazingly difficult (for digging through 15 different bureaucratic standards documents). :roll:

EDIT: This runs on my old Blue and White G3, also. I was going to post a picture, but I couldn't get it to take a picture that showed anything at the resolution
Open Firmware was running at, and didn't want to boot into OS 9 to change it. #-o

Luckily for the rest of us you are going to document this extensively at the wiki, right? :))

Ok, I'm going to break up this petty squabble with a shot of my OS, Acess, initializing a network card and creating a network interface on it.

I have IPv4 and UDP done, TCP is on the way (sequence numbers are giving me hell)

WOW! :o
Your OS looks awesome. Congratulations for your very hard work on it.

I think that one day I will have a VESA mode running. [-o<
