Unfortunately it also puts a limit as to what kind of games can be developed.<BR/><BR/>- The Mini's casing was more unique at the time of this writing. While SFF PC's were around, they were more costly in general and it's a bit harder to mount those on a wall behind your set, for instance. While my CheapBox could have worked with the proper cables, I wasn't about to shove a mini tower into my media center.<BR/><BR/>- Ironically, the Mini also had a more powerful gfx card when this was written. But they're also faster. So I don't know what they'll handle now. My Mini could handle Halo on some low settings, however.<BR/><BR/>However all the (still unfinished) games I was working on with the Mac were 2D in nature.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260309971152360156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611352.post-44782455521780096462008-07-01T06:32:00.000-07:002008-07-01T06:32:00.000-07:00Sounds like an interesting idea, but:- People only...Sounds like an interesting idea, but:<BR/>- People only want to write games for famous games consoles, because everyone else has them and there is the challenge of hacking them in the first place.<BR/>- Why a Mac Mini rather than a cheap PC?<BR/>- Does the Mac Mini have a really inferior graphics card, making it almost useless for intensive graphics? A cheap hand-built PC would let you add a decent graphics card, at least.Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483134720021546054noreply@blogger.com
