Chapter 54: Change
Because of the new super red and white machine, the function of networking from time to time needs to be used, so the number of modified cracking machines is much less than that of previous generation machines.
Machine cracking is divided into two types, one is hardware cracking and the other is software cracking. In the past, the machines were basically hardware cracked, because the previous machines themselves did not have software at all. Even, the machine can't be said to be a complete machine without inserting the game cartridge.
Of course, there are also cases where players can play pirated games without using software and hardware at all. For example, on the new Super Red and White machine, there are cases of frisbee playing pirated games.
That is, put it into the genuine game disk first, use it as a guide disk, and then force the disk out of the warehouse, and replace it with a pirated disk when the disk is still spinning rapidly.
Because the genuine disk is used as a boot disk, it has passed the certification process, so the games in the pirated disk can also be played casually.
The previous generation of consoles, the disc size of the new super red and white machine, is an ordinary 12-centimeter disc. There are some differences between playing videos and playing games.
As a guide part, there is a low-density area near the inside, with a capacity of about 40 megabytes. Not only does it store genuine certification information, but it also has some voices and letters. Put it in other disc player software, and there will be a prompt to put in the new super red and white machine.
For example, Link, who is a cuckold and adventuring with a sword and shield, will say, "Please put me back in the new Super Red and White Machine, where I can enter the world of adventure and save my princess." ”
This is the method that Lin Yan thought, which is more friendly and more cold than a cold prompt. It feels a lot stronger. After more than ten years, it will be said that this manufacturer will sell cute.
In fact. Later, more and more manufacturers will sell cuteness than the other. It all makes sense.
Now this tide of selling cuteness is led by Chiba Games.
The rest, the ring near the outside of the disc, is the high-density storage area. The base capacity is one gigabyte, but of course, depending on the cost and the increase in the capacity of the later game, it can have up to 5,000 megabytes.
It's not that the capacity of the disc can't be improved, but the head can't be recognized. After all. Disc discs can increase their capacity over time, but the bald head in a game console will not increase the level of detail of its own scanning over time.
Could it be that the head will also be upgraded, and a total of 1,000 games have been read, which is a ten-level head. It's better than those brand-new, freshly populated heads that have just come out of the factory novice area. It's not like that, hardware is just hardware. The hardware will slowly fall behind.
In fact, when the new Super Red and White machine was first launched, not all games had a gigabyte. Because discs are easier to crack, so. At that time, Chiba Games advocated a practice. That is, in addition to the normal game capacity, the rest of the remaining capacity is filled with random numbers. It's all about the game as well. After the data is extracted, it is almost the same size for the reason.
And those who cracked it. It is necessary to find the really useful program from these meaningless random numbers. It's still the same old saying. There is nothing in the world that cannot be cracked. So, all you can do is make it more difficult to be cracked. If you can't make ends meet, no one will do it if you don't deserve to be sure.
The best anti-piracy is cheaper than piracy, that's the truth.
Of course, most things can't be done in the case of genuine forced piracy. It's like it's hard for the official to force the doujin to death.
On October 21, the new handheld of Chiba Games was released. Color screen with touch function. The performance can only be said to be average, not too strong.
However, the touch screen offers a lot of new ways to play, and the most distinctive game is "Rhythm Heaven", which debuted with the machine.
Although the graphics of this game are very average, the gameplay is also simple, just press the button or press the stylus to follow the rhythm.
However, this simple picture, simple rhythm, and simple music seem to have magic. A particularly large number of people were captured in an instant.
For a time, the sales of new machines were also thriving.
Of course, everyone in the Chiba game thinks that this kind of sales situation is very normal.
After all, after so many years, Chiba Games' consoles have not been bad sellers. Sales have been very good. Therefore, some people regard such a special case as a normal thing.
Actually, Chiba games are different from the video game alliance that used to pile up game performance, not that Chiba games don't care about game performance, but game performance is not the main thing.
There are two main factors, one is the abundance of games, with a large number of high-quality games, and the other is the low price of the console.
That's right, even if the performance is lower, but the price is cheaper, the machine will sell better. It can be said that this is the truth of winning all battles.
The video game alliance is not without price competition, but Chiba Games also has strong bargaining power in the production chain because of its large production. At the beginning of selling game consoles at a loss, in fact, a few are already the limit of what can be reached at that price.
So, after playing the video game league for a while, I can't play it anymore.
After all, its scale is lower than that of Chiba Games, and it does not have the ability to squeeze out Chiba Games first, although it is said that it loses money at this time, but it can increase the price through monopoly later.
For example, consoles are cheap, games are expensive. Just like many Japanese manufacturers, the typewriters launched are cheap. However, it is a truth that consumables are very expensive.
However, they can't do it, although they say that there is a big bank behind them, but Chiba Games also has it. At most, they are the second sons of their consortium, but Chiba Games is the own son of the Chiba Group, so it can be said that the strength of support is different.
They play games to make money, not for the so-called battle of wills.
Lin Yan was once forced to leave in the video game league, which means that video games have their own shortcomings. There are many internal factions and serious fighting.
It's not that they haven't had a popular console, there is a console in North America, and they can be said to sell similar to the Chiba games at that time.
However, the North American video game league, because of its own interests. Chose a different path. It is to launch all kinds of strange hardware to delay the life of this host. Instead of selling new hosts.
As a result, there was a consequence. That's market chaos. Many of the original loyal player groups have waited and watched. As a result, he never inherited the glory of the past again.
And the Chiba game has and only one core, and that is Chiba Yuki. She almost decided everything, and of course, Lin Yan said something, and she also adopted it almost 100%.
Some people say that Hayashihiko's will is the will of Yuki Chiba. Therefore, Lin Yan is in the eyes of most employees. Not too much for power.
For example, the development department, he can completely control it all. However, there is only one fifth game department.
Although he is responsible for research and development, it still provides enough benefits to most people.
Some people think that Lin Yan is like this because he is not capable of being a man with his tail between his legs. However, after a period of time, I realized that Lin Yan was really one of the real people in Chiba Games.
Even, there are rumors and rumors. It won't be long before Lin Yan joins the Chiba family. In the future, he was called Chiba Hiko, and became the head of the Chiba family.
No matter how capable Chiba Yuki is, she is just a woman after all. The old man of Chiba is very old. The only one who was born was Yuki Chiba.
Chiba Yuki's father was okay at the beginning, but who let him have an accident and go early.
Others say it's not the case. Lin Yan is so weighty, it is entirely because Chiba Yuki and him have done it from scratch together.
Game of Destiny is a hit. Although it is said that it has not reached the point of the national game. But it can also be seen everywhere, from a small middle school. It has become popular all over Tokyo, and then all over Japan, and there are many enthusiasts even abroad.
Although the first batch of painters has left, the people who continue to paint are all very good students in Donggaoli.
This level is acceptable in Japan. Therefore, because of the art level of Donggao, there are many students who come here.
Because Togao is a product of the Chiba Group, it can be regarded as Chiba Yuki's own fattening.
Lin Yan always likes to do some strange things, but these strange things, at the beginning, really can't see anything special. But it wasn't long before it was quite certain that it was right and useful.
Therefore, although Hayashi does not fight for power much in Chiba Yuki, he also has a group of loyal fans. It's not because Lin Yan has any personality charm and how good-looking he looks. It's just that he's almost always right to decide. In another part of the world, there is such a man, because he almost always correctly judges, to build a new nation. Even if there were all kinds of people who tried to exclude him and squeeze him, he finally made that place rise again. Become a big country and a big country in this world.
Lin Yan sometimes wondered if that person was also a reborn, otherwise, it would be too great. Because, it is never possible to judge the unknown completely with the known.
It's like before a country reaches its last stage, everyone thinks that the country will not end. After all, he's been around for so many years, and he's been confronted with all sorts of things, and it's not over, isn't it?
Most people use the known to judge the unknown. But what is known is not necessarily correct, and what is not necessarily unknown will necessarily follow the unknown development.
And what Lin Yan knows is already known and verified before. Therefore, he can appear to be "always right". Otherwise, Lin Yan is an ordinary person.
Nothing special. Therefore, he does not have that sense of superiority, and he always maintains a normal heart. In fact, this is also the reason why Lin Yan is liked by many people.
After all, there are not one or two people who are proud of their talents, and people who are capable are often a little weird. Some have big tempers, some are very taciturn, and some have strange fetishes.
However, Lin Yan doesn't look like a genius, just an ordinary person. It's like a different office worker next door.
Maybe if Lin Yan's surname is Wang, it will make people wary. However, his surname is Lin. If Lin Yan didn't say it, even if he lived in a special and ordinary place, no one would think that he was a leader in the industry.
It stands to reason that since the 90s, when Japan fell into an economic quagmire, all walks of life in Japan have slowly fallen behind the world due to lack of blood.
Because of this, the video game industry has gradually been surpassed by game manufacturers in Europe and the United States with large budgets and large productions.
Japan's game industry has its own shortcomings, that is, lack of money. Just like in the animation industry, if it weren't for the lack of money, there would be no production committee system. There won't be just one company that employs all the artists for a long time.
Painters in the animation industry are like workers who move bricks, they have work to do, and they are idle when they don't. This is because companies in the animation industry in Japan cannot afford to pay their employees idle wages when there are no projects.
The reason why the gaming industry is not like this is not this mercenary system. Presumably also because the production of the game is continuous. It's not like the animation industry, which requires some special material. Often adaptation can be sure not to lose money.
Of course, mercenaries are still there, but they are outsourced.
Because of the relationship between Chiba Games, in fact, some of the work that is not important and core, but is very tedious and time-consuming and laborious, is outsourced to Chinese companies.
Although the salary given is lower than the average of the Japanese industry. However, the quality of the employees in China is not bad. Those low wages are also very high over there, so there are often surprises.
They do a better job than they do.
However, because of the principle of starving the master, the real core technology will not be handed over to this side.
No one will betray their own rank, so even if someone is kind, they will not smash their own jobs in order to feed others.
Therefore, many talented people with crooked necks and companies have encountered bottlenecks, and many times they cannot solve them.
Lin Yan is more optimistic about the development of China's game industry, after all, the genuine market is very prosperous there. Although the price of games is generally low, the huge market can also alleviate this disadvantage.
With the market and demand, it is estimated that it will develop.
This is his little selfishness, after all, he is from that place, and he hopes that the development there will be better, there is nothing wrong.
Perhaps because of the relationship between Lin Yan's appearance, the era represented by "Blood Lion" has not come, although there are garbage games, but there are not many.
Many producers have dreams, and even if they have an idea, Chiba Games will provide wind direction investment as support.
This is what Lin Yan can do, and this is what he can only do. After all, he is now a member of Chiba Games and can't leave. You can only make a small change and know how much to change. (To be continued.) )
