well I guess it's possible, the TV must be already running some kind of Linux based OS. but remember these games are all only for the TV as far as I can tell, which is its own thing. we basically know nothing about the actual console so far thanks to timetop's crap website (I found it on
Eittek's website too but they just copied the same wrong specifications from Timetop) - the console might run something completely different. it might not even have any kind of user accessible storage.
hmm. well it seems like timetop has actually completely redesigned its website since I posted those links to it two days ago. the new one is kinda broken, it still has the wrong specifications for the console, but there does seem to be a name for it now -
you can sort of make it out in this photo - Allinone Family? or something.
well I managed to get one of
these on the cheap, thanks to ebay. it seems to be made by
Unicorn Manufacturing but I still have no idea who developed the games. its thankfully very small and has in a box to match - Wii clones tend to come in massive boxes to accommodate all the crap accessories and the consoles themselves are oversized to make them look more "real", which tends to inflate the shipping cost and take up more room in my damn house. but theres none of that here. it doesnt even come with a second player controller or an AC adapter (and I can't even use them from some other console, since it doesnt seem to use the same IR controller standard as the iSports and Wow, or the same power standard as pretty much every Chinese/Taiwanese console since the very first famiclones copied it from the original Famicom. so its one player only and 4 AA batteries for now)
the games are pretty variable in quality but generally better than the stuff on the Wow. the obligatory Puzzle Bobble clone is just as blatant in its graphics thievery as the Wow's but plays way better, for example. only a few of the games actually use the motion control (its not like the others where you can basically use it as an A button replacement in anything, it seems to be a separate input) - the golf is pretty decent, but "Frisbee Challenge" lasts about two minutes. im still not sure if this thing actually has 3D capabilities, the game that looked like it had 3D backgrounds seems to be pre-rendered (theres lighting effects and anti-aliasing for one thing, i doubt it can do that) but the animations of the ball hitting the pins in the bowling game actually *do* look like theyre being rendered in real time, so I dunno.
i'm still waiting for my new video capture card but once it turns up i'll record some video and whatnot.
