Hi Jason, Yeah, all of the major consoles charge huge royalties in order to create games for their platforms. While the technology exists to make say XBox 360 games you still need to pay royalties and major licensing fees to do so. I once checked into making games for the PS 3, and even though

I'm writing a game using the XNA framework which allows it to run on both a PC and X BOX 360. Like Liam said, the problem isn't the technology, it's the demand. It's very possible for me to release the game on the X BOX, but it would likely be the only one of its kind. People are unlikely to buy an

Hi, Probably. The Linux boot loader, Grub, is pretty good about detecting other operating systems and adding them to the Grub boot prompt and allowing you to select between Linux or the pre-existing operating system on the computer. I figure since the XBox OS is basically a Windows Mobile os L

Hi Marvin, That is a good question. Technically the operating systems that are used in those game consoles are fundamentally able to run a screen reading device. However, since the version of Linux used in the PS3 and the version of Windows that powers the XBox are extremely stripped down and
