Chapter 487: Sega DC

Mori Xia originally thought that he was just here to sign a non-disclosure agreement and then get a glimpse of Sega's DC lineup.

However, something happened to him.

Well, that's right, Senxia just signed a non-disclosure agreement, and then he came into contact with DC.

But after knowing the specifications of this world's DC, Senxia was dumbfounded.

The CPU is Hitachi's SH-4, 32-bit, RISC reduced instruction set, with a main frequency of 200 megahertz and an operating speed of 360MIPS.

The display chip is still NEC's Power_VR2 that once made DC miserable.

Mori Xia doesn't remember what the original DC used in the audio system, but the DC in this world uses a chip from Yamaha.

As for the memory, it is a little more than the original, using 32MB, of which 2MB is for voice and network systems, 2MB is for voice systems, 12MB is for graphics systems, and the other 16MB is for the main system.

As for the optical drive system, the DC is still the same as the historical choice, using encrypted CD-ROMs instead of DVDs.

In addition, a Hitachi co-processor has been added to the DC, which is also using the development codename "Demon Knife", which is specifically designed to handle the network and voice system.

However, these are not the most critical parts, the most critical part of the whole system is that the whole DC has added a very abnormal structure - they actually add a hard disk on top of the computer!

Fujitsu 6. 4GB HDD!

When he saw that Sega really added a hard drive, Senxia was stunned.

He looked at Qianjia next to him, who was also reading the information, and the latter noticed Mori Xia's gaze and looked towards Mori Xia, but after realizing that Mori Xia didn't mean anything else, she tilted her head. Then he turned his gaze back to the materials in his hand.

Wait, I think I've set up a flag in the future......

Sen Xia suddenly thought that he had such a funny idea, he thought that his butterfly effect seemed unlikely, and as for asking Sega to get a hard drive for DC or something, it was simply impossible.

the groove. Isn't that the case like a slap in the face? Could it be that the law of this world is that the protagonist must be slapped in the face?

What a joke about yarn!

it!

Although Sen Xia is expressionless now, the feelings and complaints in his heart at the moment are enough to write a novel of 100,000 words.

Senxia is a little suspicious, could it be that his Flag physique really exists?

No...... It's all an illusion, you can't scare me!

Mori Xia shouted in his heart.

Putting down the manuscript in his hand, Sen Xia looked at the technician who came to contact him opposite: "Excuse me, what is this hard drive?"

"Oh, this is a system we added to the Demon Knife. The technician also thought that Senxia was talking about why they wanted to add such a hard drive, you know. In those days, there was no such thing as a hard drive, and even the PS2 of the future didn't have it.

So for the game consoles of this era, this is indeed a pioneering feat.

So Senxia was confused.

"The main function of the hard disk is to install some functions of the game, some game content, a platter can not be included, so it can be pre-installed into the hard disk, and with the help of this system, we can also download the content on the network to it. And the hard disk is also a save system, in addition to that. Our chat system is also stored here. The technician introduced some of the contents of the DC hard disk to Senxia.

Sounds reasonable.

Indeed, since there is a new chat system, it is true that storage space is needed, and the hard disk is the best choice at this time, and the best way to store the DLC that Senxia thought of is also the hard disk, and there is a hard disk. Traditional memory cards can also be discarded, and hard disks can pre-store the contents of optical discs, and in addition to that, the hard disk can also act as a cache for the entire system when necessary.

But this new version of DC still has a little bit that makes Senxia feel "sucky".

-- You've got a hard drive. Why don't you want to change to a DVD?

In Senxia's view, one of DC's failures was that it didn't support DVDs, but now, Sega's urine in this era hasn't changed.

"Changed the broadband network card, and then added a hard disk, the cost is not a whoosh compared with the original?"

Senxia thought of a very critical question again.

However, Sen Xia thought that the original DC price seemed to be much cheaper than PS2, and if the cost was increased, it seemed that it would be at the level of PS2 at most...... But that's not why you don't use DVDs! Not using DVDs is like death! Using NEC's display chips is also death! Sega, you don't understand!

Naturally, it was impossible for Sen Xia to say these words like this, he could only complain in his heart.

"The development environment we use is Windows CE2. 0, it's very convenient for porting PC games," the technician continued to say to Mori Xia, "You are working on the Guilty Crown, and it will be very convenient to use this system for porting. ”

It's true that DC's development environment is very friendly, and Sony's PS2 is flying eight streets in seconds at this point.

According to the other party, this system seems to really support mods.

Isn't it more than ten years earlier than the original world?

Mori Xia realized that the Sega of this world had really accomplished a feat.

But that's not a reason why you don't use DVDs!

Senxia complained again in his heart.

DVDs are the king of the future, why don't you understand!

Forget it, it's not your own stuff anyway, now we're just using your platform, what should we do after we wait......

DC has three dead knots, one is NEC's pit daddy chip, not that this chip is bad, but NEC was out of stock for a period of time after DC was listed, and DC missed the best time to distribute goods, which is fatal for DC at this time; the second dead knot is DVD's, PS2's DVD is a great contributor to helping them harvest good works; and the third dead knot is the loss of "Shenmue".

Well, yes, this version of Sega DC is indeed different, but in Senxia's opinion, this thing is still the same, and if these three dead knots are not untied, the current DC can only face the final **** overturn.

But the Sega technician on the other side doesn't seem to see it that way, he seems to be super confident.

"I can kill Sony, I can beat Apple!"

Well, sorry, this is just wishful thinking.

"Although I don't know much about programs, this kind of easy-to-port platform seems to be a good thing for our development. Qianjia nodded. She couldn't see the tragedy of Sega's future, so at this point she felt that Sega seemed to be tall and tall.

This-

What do you want me to say?

Mori Xia couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hey, that's what we're planning. The technician nodded in agreement, "This system is very easy to port, your company's "Plants vs. Zombies" can also be easily ported to our platform provider, and we can also provide better display effects." ”

Hearing the other party's words, Senxia seemed to understand why Sega was so enthusiastic to find herself.

It's not just because of the game they're working on, it's because they have a game that's already been released and has already sparked a craze!

The current sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" are about to run for millions of sets, and Sega's main battlefield is actually North America, so it's strange that Sega didn't notice this game at this time.

If that's the case, it seems obvious......

Sen Xia nodded secretly in his heart, in this way, what happened before would be much more reasonable.

After signing the agreement and reading the information, Senxia and the others set off to return.

Sitting in the car, Qianjia seemed to be thinking about something: "Senxia, I seem to understand Sega's expectations for us. ”

"Plants vs. Zombies, right?" said Senxia.

Qianjia nodded: ""Plants vs. Zombies" can be said to be a million-level work now, and in Sega's opinion, we now have such a large sales, it is natural to expand the scale in the next step, right?"

Sen Xia was stunned: "In other words, the reason why Sega made this request to us is also to predict that we will expand the scale?"

"Of course, my dad is also a shareholder of Sega, and they can't make things difficult for me because of this kind of thing!" said Qianjia of course.

"That's not accurate, maybe there are people in Sega who are dissatisfied with us?"

"Well, that's very unlikely, you don't have to care. But if that's the case, it means we really need to scale. Qianjia looked at Sen Xia very seriously, "In other words, we are going to recruit people!"

Yes!

It's not just the current research club, but even the Animic club is also recruiting!

"That's right. Senxia nodded.

"Yo Xi, the initial target is that Jizong Gangki and Mr. Dragon Knight, if they are of good standard, let's recruit them first......" Qianjia pondered.

"Well, that's good. Senxia nodded, but then he froze.

Wait a minute, if these two people join in, what will happen to the original MUV and Chilling?

This is a serious problem......

Sen Xia realized that it was a shame to let such works disappear, we are here to spread the culture of moe and gentlemen, not to make them disappear!

If you really can't do it, then you can only do it yourself......
