AIO Interviews The Bitmap Brothers : Comment 2 of 38 | ANN.lu |

IIRC, AmigaDE is planned to give those by making the HW virtual.
And AmigaOne partly does that because there is only one kind of motherboard, one kind of CPU and only a few kinds of GFX cards.
IMHO: The official minimum recommended configuration for AmigaOne games should be set somewhere around XBOX (except 3-5x more memory). That would mean 128-256M SDRAM, 64-128M DDR SDRAM, Radeon8500 GPU, DVD drive, etc... Game developer would be near to heaven... ;)
