Chapter 061: Little Doctor SFC-91
And that's just game development, there are consoles waiting to be developed. Fortunately, the current magic box wisdom has four technical developers, and two of them have helped themselves. If this was in the previous Yanshan software, how could it be in such a hurry!
Even so, it still doesn't feel like there's enough manpower. Hao Meng discussed with Fu Zan to urgently recruit three people, and there were finally full-time personnel for art, programming, testing and other positions, which temporarily solved Fu Zan's urgent need.
Fu Zan is much more capable now than before.
Although Smoky Mountain Software started early, it still did not develop, and it disappeared in a few years, which is the reason for the inherent defects of the system, and more importantly, Fu Zan of the original world did not have the courage to break the boat.
At that time, Fu Zan had been the actual person in charge of Smoky Mountain Software as a middle school physics teacher, and he had the credit to share, but he didn't really get it much, and he did have to bear it, coupled with his iron job status, he didn't have the courage to move forward and the motivation to devote himself wholeheartedly!
Now that Fu Zan has arrived in his own company, all this is bound to change. Maybe the magic box wisdom will become the Nintendo of the Republic.
The design and production of the "Little Doctor" learning machine is still an imitation of the Chinese learning machine, and a lot of improvements have been made to it, and even directly refer to the integrated design of the game console and keyboard of the special FCS-90, which is simple and clear, and the image is more in line with the requirements of Chinese parents for their children's strong desire to learn, and the appearance dilutes the game attributes.
TEC FCS-90 IS BASED ON NINTENDO'S FAMILY COMPUTER'S F-BASIC,PORTED CEC-I'S CHINESE CHARACTER SYSTEM AND FLOATING-POINT BASIC SYSTEM,AND THEN ADD FIVE STROKES GLYPH INPUT METHOD,SO IT'S A SINICIZED F-BASIC。 The keyboard circuit of the learning machine is to extend the 73 keys of the learning machine to 101 keys, and the circuit structure and key code definition are compatible with the machine of the learning machine.
However, there is a difference.
Yu Zixian does not know whether the special branch FCS-90 has been patented, but after the software and hardware upgrades, Yu Zixian must apply for a patent. If necessary, Yu Zixian also plans to apply for F-BASIC development authorization, and the details will be discussed at that time.
After the finalization, the first generation of Dr. Xiao's learning machine is called Dr. Xiao's SFC-91 learning machine.
Because it is compatible with Nintendo's FC game console and cassette, and there are innovations and improvements to the FC game console, Yu Zixian is also shamelessly called "Super FC", which can also be literally understood as Super FC, and the suffix 91 is because this is a machine planned to be launched at the end of January next year, that is, before the Spring Festival at the end of January 91.
In the last week of November, Yu Zixian finally saw the complete version of the Little Doctor SFC-91 learning machine. The motherboard uses the FC6502.7 upgrade chip of Wandao UMC;At the same time, compared with the 2kB memory and graphics card six or seven years ago,Now it is upgraded to640kB,The game size and game screen have been greatly improved,Although 4MB、16MB memory is already available,But the tall things are still counted,16MB a piece is about 4000-5000 yuan,Yu Zixian can't think about it。
Such a configuration, whether it is memory, or other processor chips, is a general-purpose chip, especially 6502.7, as long as you want, several factories on Bay Island can produce it. The advantage of this is that others can't get their necks stuck, and of course there are disadvantages, that is, they are easy to be imitated.
There is no way to do this, who makes themselves without a chip production plant?
In 1983, Nintendo's FC red and white machine, at that time, used an 8-bit 6502 CPU made by Ricoh, memory and video memory of 2KB, an image controller (PPU) that can display 64 colors, the screen can display 2 layers of scrolls and 5 pages, of which 2 background pages each occupy 1KB of video memory, due to the limitation of video memory, up to 16 colors can be displayed. A programmable sound generator (PSG) provides 4 analog channels and 1 PCM digital channel, which provides continuous background sound.
The storage medium of the game card is similar to the flash memory chip of the BIOS chip, which is divided into two types: rewritable and non-rewritable, but many game cards are integrated on the card and cannot be removed.
After the popularity of the FC game console, Nintendo expanded the Far East market at the same time, and also put forward the concept of compatible machines in order to adapt to various game scenarios.
However, the compatible machine was only promoted in the mid-to-late 80s, due to historical reasons, Nintendo has not been able to enter the mainland market, coupled with the output signal of the original Nintendo game console is NTSC system, and China's TV mechanism is mostly PAL system, and the input signal system accepted by the TV is matched, resulting in the original imported machine rarely seen in domestic shopping malls. In the mainland, a small number of game consoles that can play PAL are mostly manufactured, modified or assembled in Xiangjiang, Wandao or the mainland, and the price is between 100~400 yuan. Nintendo, however, has not been able to reach the mainland market of the Republic, so FC's largest export destination is the "Asian Tigers", including Xiangjiang, South Korea and Bay Island.
Compared with Nintendo FC, which has been on the market for nearly eight years, the Little Doctor SFC-91 learning machine of Rubik's Cube Intelligence has made great progress. Although it can't be compared to Nintendo's upcoming SFC performance. However, for the national conditions of the mainland, the large price of SFC is unacceptable to 99% of families, while the price of 200-300 yuan for the small doctor SFC-91 machine is just right.
Some time ago, Liu Yanjun matched Yu Zixian and introduced a Xiangjiang Yongxin Law Firm. It is a comprehensive law firm and one of the top 10 law firms in Heungjiang, with its comprehensive strength among the forefront. Headquartered in Xiangjiang, the law firm has branches or offices in Yanjing, Shencheng, Pengcheng, Tokyo in China, Silicon Valley and New York. His business is mainly in bank financing, investment, international trade and other businesses, but also involved in some emerging business areas, such as intellectual property protection, asset acquisition, venture capital and leveraged buyout business.
What Yu Zixian values most is that this firm is in the Yenjing office of Yongxin Law Firm, with permanent staff, who have been working for several years, have some contacts and relationships, and can be entrusted with patent matters in the mainland and abroad. This is very convenient for Yu Zixian, but if there is anything in the future, you don't have to go to Pengcheng or Xiangjiang.
At the same time, the game of "reading pictures and knowing idioms" was also completed. The current focus of Rubik's Cube Wisdom is to "read pictures and recognize idioms", and in the case of Hao Meng and Fu Zan going all out, the progress is not slow.
The game "Guess the Idiom by Looking at the Picture" was produced and the acceptance was passed, and the rest of the matter was naturally production.
Due to the large memory occupation of the game "Guess the Idiom by Looking", it can only be a separate card. There are also learning cards for enlightening how many code farmers are also ready, including keyboard exercises, typing games, typing whack-a-mole and editing exercises, and other computer introductory learning and operation games, which are all-in-one cassette.
This study card is also unique in the current cassette.
