Something designed for emulation. PS1 all the way down to NES.
I'd have 2 methods of booting games
One for homebrew and another much more locked down bootloader for retail games to delay piracy
maybe have modules for upgrading too like the N64s expansion pack
[QUOTE=gman003-main;33331706]Point of order: We need to start talking about something besides whoever is doing or did something stupid.
How about this? How would [i]you[/i] design a console? Remember that it has to be mass-produced for <$200, and only needs to render to a 1080p screen, max.
What would you come up with?[/QUOTE]
If I were to design a console it would certainly be a handheld, I just don't care for other consoles that much.
It would probably be a variation of the 3DS But less... well not as bad. Think PS Vita cross 3DS with 2 joystick nubs, no membrane buttons, no 3D, no retarded stylus set up (Stylus at the back instead of the side, gtfo nintendo).
So NDS with 2 Joystick nubs and PS Vita hardware.
and have the CPU and GPU, memory controller and maybe the RAM built into the same die
MY MERGE

dual core x86 processor.
1GB DDR3 RAM.
Hot-swapable SATA HDD slot.
probably a GTX 260 or the likes.
A nice matte black plastic case, something similar to the PS2.
Microsoft and Sony make a loss on each console anyway, might aswell make the consoles beefy ish.

Since all consoles or most of them anyway use IBM processors just have them make a cheap one like the xbox and then put an actual graphics card in it like a 5770 with a PSU built in. Would only cost about $230 since hard drives on consoles are cheap and disc drives are about $15
IBM processor $70, Cheap PSU to run Gamecube 2 $40, Disc drive $15. Small HDD for simply the so called OS $70. Total cost $215[/QUOTE]
Boo. My DS Is my favorite console I've ever owned.

He's (in my opinion) right, though. People bandwagon way too much sometimes, yes, he made some stupid posts, but just drop it. If you fling shit every time he posts (especially when he posted something sensible), this thread is gonna be derailed every 2 seconds. Calm the fuck down.
This thread is going way too fast.
Shit, i want to make that a build now. A cheap machine for the living room and stick emulators on it and play games with friends.
I'm making that a project now.

I spent many sleepless nights playing on my DS. My phone fills that void now.
Zero, if you're gonna post, don't instantly snip it.

The DS isn't bad but I honestly hate mine and I regret spending the $180 on the DSi.

How about you think before you post then.
I don't like shipping posts because I think it makes me a coward. If I make a mistake in not gonna hide from it.

*sigh* I hadn't refreshed the page but I saw wingless though my idea for the GC2 was dumb, I posted "I Guess the GC2 is a dumb idea according to wingless even though I thought it was a great idea." Then the page refreshed and realized wingless posted something so I snipped it.

Wasn't really insulting but I didn't want to come off as an ass.
Yeah, Zerokateo, slow the posting down. I post a lot, and I'm still only at ~11 posts per day. If you have to snip half your posts (that's pretty much your posting in this thread), you're probably not thinking too much about them. Sometimes mods like to ban for it as well, so I would try to saty a little low.

I never said the GC2 was dumb, I just didn't care for your DS disliking.

Why snip it thought?
Just put in an editline and say you're sorry, you were misunderstood or something similar.

Redundant and temporally irrelevant-rendered posts are just annoying to see. Plus, sometimes you just happen to be in the wrong thread by accident.

All the ones after it are useless because no gameboy slots.

That's kind of weak, actually. I mean, even the 360 is triple-core. And the PS3 is kinda-sorta octa-core.
I'd probably make something based of an i5 2400 - probably trim out the integrated GPU, we won't need that. Maybe re-enable HTT, if that's easily done. Then add in a GT545 - it's cheap, but it's modern enough that the design will last longer than a higher-end but older card.
Then - and here's the cool part - both the GPU and CPU get the same memory. Split 6GB between them both - that should be plenty.
I'd probably add in a hard drive, and have all games just be online, probably by partnering with Steam. Publishers will love that - no used games! It will also make loading faster, so gamers will like it.
If necessary, we can put games on SD cards for retail sale - that's cheap to add to a console, unlike an optical drive.

I got mine for christmas and loved it for a week then realized how much games were so I quit buying crap and then the DSi came out and i was like ''OMG A CAMERA AND AWESOME FEATURES" Then i realized I shouldve stayed with the lite. Its a great little handheld but I shouldve gotten a PSP

Certainly. I still play Pokemon Ruby.

Then I just add to the bottom an apology.

The PSP was kinda a failure.
Great hardware but really ruined by UMD's as they had the limited as fuck storage space and broke easily. In the end no one really got one, everyone had a DS so multiplayer wasn't that great, UMD's limited the length of a game and there just wasn't many good games for it.

Thats why I snipped it cause I didnt know that you posted as it was the little dumb box at the bottom.
[QUOTE=wingless;33331996]Certainly. I still play Pokemon Ruby.[/QUOTE]
I thought I was the only one who liked Ruby.
Also I'm sure there's a way to stick emus on the newer ones. But at that point I'm better off with my phone.
And yes you are right about the UMD failure I hated the idea of carrying around discs but I wouldve bought a PSP go instead of a DSi had i have known better

Don't care about ratings, just don't make dumb posts.
I bought a PSP for the sake of hacking it or whatever and sticking all sorts off stuff on it but I never got around to getting the special battery for it.
