Homebrew About the ReactOS project and the WiiU

[blackkawa]

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
