Sounds like quite a task. Sounds like he'll need engineers and programmers.

He can buy all the necessary chips but... then there's the process of arranging them inside the console, hooking and soldering(making a case for the console). Then there needs to be code that runs the games for the console.

It sounds like a heck of a lot of work. I'm no expert but I have doubts in how plausible his goal is.

pretty much. he was originally in the nD forum, thats where I met him. In my opinion his goal is as plausible as the nD. If he can get some help that is.

I believe he's going to use ARM linux for the OS.
