Hello people, i have stumbled about a interesting project about a new open source OS, the ReactOS, basead on windows. It works with most recent processors, and have some compability with windows drivers and programs. It is a OS made from the ground, made to work with windows applications and drivers, and not a linux distribuition. The devs said that they will implement PPC working with the system, and then a ideia came out. Could this OS be used with the wii u, in a similar way like the linux wii u once they got PPC compability?

Possible? Yes.
Will it happen? Probably not since the console's CPU is roughly what you'd find in a powermac G3.
a g4, thankyouverymuch

honestly we barely got Linux working (nobody's gonna claim it works well) so I'd be unsure about a less mature platform that's mostly made to run x86 programs. I mean the whole point is to be compatible with windows, right? and nearly all windows binaries are x86-only, including the gpu drivers, so idk

    @Xdqwerty, Maintenance most likely.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, understandable
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hopefully it wasn't a DDoS attack.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, i was already believing that was the reason it was down
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, The response from the page said it had too many connections. So perhaps, flooded traffic?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, it didnt say that for me
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, It only shows that if you do 'View Source', right below that it'll tell you the SQL response query. I feel like a nerd lol.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But for everyone, it said unexpected database error.

    @SylverReZ, i recall playing some hard undertale fangames way before playing touhou, like the genocide asgore fangame or the mettaton neo 2.0 one
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    so atleast im already kinda used to bullet hell games
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and yea i played both undertale and deltarune too although those are a piece of cake compared to any touhou game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    aaaaaaannnnnnd i already lost all my continues
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only set three default lives btw
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz of score
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i think i first should focus more on beating the game rather than obtaining a high score
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
