I always wanted an OS that was made purely for games. I wonder if that is possible. An Os that plays windows games and doesnt waste resources on crap like windows does. It would make the games many times faster.
i think squishy was refering to a tutorial i showed him a while back that showed how to make an "operating system" in mmf2, but of coarse it was a standalone app. i think he wants to take that concept and actually turn it into a real operating system. would this be possible? if so i would definitely work on something like that

Can't any videogame console sort of qualify for this? With the exception of the newer consoles which are becoming more all around entertainment systems rather then base game running consoles.

ya and it may be possible to make this operating system to work by makeing it start up in place of windows by tweeking the system start up operations cause my step dad showed me a thing where i can turn the programs, that start up automatically, off
Msconfig saves my life regularly. For whatever reason if my iMac ever crashes in XP sometimes startup items get corrupted (never had this problem when the drive was Fat32 ) and will then always crash after XP is just done booting. Safe mode>msconfig>great success.
I think I managed to get rid of some viruses by using msconfig (and a lot of virus-destroying programs)
If you really want to make an operating system, you'd also have to design your own version of "msconfig". And basically your own version of the whole system folder, which you'd have to write tons of libraries for and tons of code, then somehow relate the whole system to your motherboard etc. It would have to support installation of drivers and applications, as well as different programming languages.
There are extensions that save and load files, and a lot of other system related events for MMF2, but even MMF2 is being run by Windows everytime you use it, as is every program, so if you managed to get your computer to run your "operating system program" instead of Windows starting up when you turn on your computer, the program would not be able to run because it needs Windows to do so. Which is why you really couldn't call it an "operating system".
Msconfig FTW! And Diag! (The underrated computer stat checker) and control userpasswords2! And cmd! and regedit and ipconfig and services.msc and sfc and a trunkload of others.
