So what if they do? Don't get your hopes up. |

I think what could be more important is ARMs announcement that they want to break into the console market. If they do supply the central processor then RISC OS may be able to take advantage. If the Pace STB ends up using the Dreamcast chip then they won't be using RISC OS. |

If the Pace STB ends up using the Dreamcast chip then they won't be using RISC OS. I don't think it's an either/or situation - the Dreamcast stuff will be on one chip (/board) and be almost completely separate from the host machine - just power, video and input switching will be required, which a RISC OS machine is more than capable of handling. |

I think PACE/risc os are going in to the console market because i have heard that the
GBA will use a risc os cpu! |

No, the GameBoy Advance uses an ARM700 series processor (I think). It's got nothing do with RISC OS or Pace apart from the processor used. Of course it should mean good job opportunities for any budding ARM coders out there. |
