This book has been streaking for a week.,There will be a workplace channel at 2 o'clock this afternoon to recommend the popular classification.,In order to celebrate.,Today's three more.。 Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info hope that the book friends who pass by can collect more to encourage and support!
"Don't put that much pressure on yourself." Ye Kai encouraged. "Your current job is mainly exterior design, then art review, and finally sales. As for the sales job, after you are fully accustomed to the first two jobs, if you feel that you still have room to spare, then consider it, I don't force this, I just think that you are fully competent for this job, if you don't like it, give up. ”
Angela looked at Ye Kai's handsome face, and was very moved, and couldn't wait to rush forward immediately and reward Ye Kai with a kiss from the most 'intimate boss' this year.
Julie, who graduated from the School of Management, is a little lost at the moment, originally, if it is a technical department, let Roland be in charge, she has no complaints, but the sales work and her professional counterpart, but she was not called, although she is not very happy to engage in this kind of work, but you ignore her, do you say that her heart can not be lost? A woman's mind is so strange!
Fortunately, Ye Kai didn't let Julie lose for long, so he set his eyes on her: "Julie, your work has been told to you before, you will be in charge of the operating system company, and when I straighten out this company, I will fly to Seattle with you, before that, you can study in any department of the company that you are interested in." ”
"Okay, thank you, boss." After listening to Ye Kai's words, Julie's unhappiness and loss in her heart disappeared in an instant, and the whole person looked radiant, showing the charm of a woman.
Ye Kai didn't want to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him, he looked at Roland who was concentrating on reading the documents, and knew that for a while, Roland couldn't finish reading the information, so he picked up the phone on the table, and according to the internal phone number list on the table, he called Elisa outside, and asked her to get a game machine prototype codenamed VCS2600, the main circuit board of the arcade machine and the disassembly tool.
Not long after putting down the phone, there was a knock on the office door, and after getting Ye Kai's permission, Alyssa walked in with a black rectangular box and a large circuit board, as well as a few tools, put it on Ye Kai's desk, turned around and went out.
Ye Kai first looked at the prototype of the VCS2600 on the table, the black clinker shell, the ugly operating handle, judging from Ye Kai's weathered aesthetics in his previous life, it was simply stupid and ugly, full of grand cottage taste, and it was a shoddy family workshop style that couldn't get up to the table.
Ye Kai complained fiercely in his heart about the appearance of this game console, and also despised the designers in the company, it was simply TMD's blindness, even if it was a person with closed eyes, it was better than this design!
Ye Kai shook his head, picked up the screwdriver next to him and began to disassemble the shell screws of the game console, there were very few screws, there were screws in the four corners of the machine, Ye Kai quickly unscrewed the screws, removed the back cover of the machine, and the circuit board of the host was completely exposed.
The circuit uses a double-layer printed circuit board, which is covered with large and small integrated circuits and other electronic components, and from the perspective of Ye Kai's previous life, although it is not the most advanced model, it is the most successful generation of machines in the history of computer game consoles.
It uses 6507 microprocessor, the main frequency is 1.19MHz, built-in 128BRAM and 8KB LSI ROM, and is equipped with a three-way mono audio chip. In 1980, this machine accounted for 44% of the market and became almost synonymous with home computer game consoles.
This is where Ye Kai is very contradictory, on the one hand, he wants to design his own microprocessor chip, use his own game development platform and dedicated game system, because in the previous life, large game console companies basically used microprocessors of their own design, including Nintendo, SONY, Sega, and even Microsoft.
Only by designing their own microprocessor chips, developers can make full use of the performance of the microprocessor as much as possible, so that the game console program can be perfectly represented through the microprocessor, which is not achieved by the purchased microprocessor. After all, you can never know more about what you have made with someone else than what you have made.
However, it was too late, it was impossible to complete such a thing in a few months, not to mention the need to redesign the circuits, develop the product table, the game system, and the game program, all of which had to be restarted, and then, it would take time for the factory to produce.
And this Christmas, it's impossible for your newly formed company to come up with a new game console, right? If not, isn't the money being robbed by other companies? You must know that in the United States, there is more than just Atari in the game company, if it doesn't come out, wouldn't it let others succeed, and your own gains outweigh the losses?
Therefore, Ye Kai could only reluctantly give up this idea that made him very excited and clean up his mood. He handed the game console in his hand to Angela and said, "Angela, Julie, you guys take a look at the appearance of this game console, think about it, is there anything that needs to be improved?" ”
Since the game console entered the office, Angela's eyes have not taken her eyes off this big black guy, and carefully analyzed her reaction to seeing this machine in her heart, as well as what can be improved, so that this improvement can be liked by herself, because she knows that the boss will definitely ask herself, after all, this is part of her future work.
Angela is very smart, and in such a short period of time, she already has her own preliminary ideas, so she confidently took the machine in Ye Kai's hand and went to the side with Julie to take a closer look.
Seeing that the people under his hands have something to do. Ye Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a pleasure to be stared at by a beautiful woman, but to be stared at by more than one beauty at the same time, it was a kind of torment.
Ye Kai picked up the arcade circuit board on the table, and saw that the double-layer printed circuit board was densely packed, large and small integrated circuits and in-line electronic components, and he frowned a little, Ye Kai had played arcade games in his previous life, but he had not opened the circuit board inside and read it, but he had read a book introducing arcade circuits.
Now that I've read the book, many of the principles are basically figured out, just like personal computers, they are all composed of a central processing unit, read-only memory, random access memory, input/output interface circuits, etc. If the information of the program, game images, and sounds used in the game is stored in the read-only memory, and the hardware circuit is used to complete the synthesis of the image and the sound, then the personal computer becomes an electronic game console.
