Repairing your "electronic pet"? Sorry, if it's broken, just buy a new one!
Anyway, that's how the first generation of "electronic pets" was. After all, it was a monopoly, and users had no other choice but to buy "electronic pets" from Wujiang Group.
The second-generation "electronic pet" may be improved.
That afternoon, the "Boundless Electronic Pet" project was officially launched, and a development team of 20 people was formed.
The development is expected to be completed within six months.
...
Wujiang Group's arcade game development department.
"Boss, this is the arcade game motherboard we designed!" Wang Jizhi was introducing to Zhao Ye. "It uses a 16-bit Kirin 2 chip processor, which is powerful, has a fast processing speed, low power consumption, bright and clear game graphics, and uses stereo surround sound technology for a more immersive sound experience..."
As Zhao Ye listened to Wang Jizhi's introduction, he examined a finely structured circuit board on the table.
Wujiang Group possesses the development technology for PC motherboards and home gaming motherboards, so developing arcade motherboards is basically not difficult for them.
Arcade machines are quite large, so they don't significantly limit the size of the motherboard, giving developers more flexibility when designing arcade motherboards.
"Boss, this is a replaceable game cartridge slot. Just insert the game cartridge and you can run the game!"
Many arcade machines nowadays use almost one motherboard per game.
If you want to switch games, you'll need to replace the motherboard directly.
The arcade motherboard developed by Wujiang Group aims to create an arcade platform that allows other games to be ported to arcades.
Of course, some arcade motherboards with replaceable game card slots have also appeared on the market.
However, the various arcade brands are in fierce competition and incompatible with each other.
The reason for this situation is mainly because there is no dominant arcade brand.
Now, Wujiang Group has arrived.
The arcade market's dominant position must be relinquished immediately.
Many of Wujiang Group's self-developed games, especially fighting games, are very suitable for porting to arcades, so Wujiang Group has a great advantage in making arcade games.
Moreover, many game developers are struggling to make a living on the "Qiongqi Game Machine" platform. Wujiang Group is asking you to port your game to the arcade. How can you refuse?
Besides, there's almost no need to refuse.
The arcade game Wujiang has become a hit, and porting these games to arcade platforms can also make a fortune.
Zhao Ye noticed that the arcade machine's motherboard only had one replaceable game card slot, and an idea suddenly popped into his head: could he add more game card slots so that one arcade machine could play several games...?
Is a dual card slot or a triple card slot more suitable?
More game card slots aren't necessarily better, as they can significantly increase costs.
Although arcades are doing very well and every arcade machine is making money right now, single-slot arcade machines are the most cost-effective.
Even though arcade business is slow, buying multi-slot arcade machines is a more cost-effective option. With just a few machines, you can play the most popular arcade games on the market, making full use of each machine's usage time and creating value for the arcade owner.
Therefore... both single-slot arcade machines and multi-slot arcade machines can be developed.
Zhao Ye immediately pointed to the replaceable game cartridge slots and said to the people around him, "Everyone thinks about it, if we add a few more replaceable cartridge slots here, wouldn't that enrich our product line and increase the sales of game cartridges? After all, the more cartridge slots we have, the more game cartridges we can sell!"
Adding a few more card slots isn't a particularly difficult problem.
It's just that no one expected it.
People's thinking is often fixed, and they take it for granted that an arcade machine should have a game cartridge slot.
Zhao Ye broke through this barrier, and everyone suddenly realized the truth.
Immediately afterwards, they looked at Zhao Ye with admiration.
...
Both the "Boundless Electronic Pet" and the "Boundless Arcade" will use STN LCD color screens.
Zhao Ye then rushed to Wujiang LCD factory to inspect the development progress of STN technology.
Ouyang Zhongcan, head of the LCD department, led Zhao Ye on a tour of the factory's production workshop before heading to the laboratory.
"Boss, our developers have perfectly absorbed and digested the TN LCD technology, and are currently working hard on the STN LCD technology, and have achieved some results!"
As they talked, the group walked into the laboratory.
The laboratory has a total of more than 120 engineers, which is neither small nor large.
Ouyang Zhongcan then showed Zhao Ye the results of the development team.
Zhao Ye listened attentively with great interest.
Ouyang Zhongcan asked the laboratory researchers to bring out an STN LCD screen that they had developed independently, then connected the device and demonstrated it to Zhao Ye.
"Boss, we have now developed a regular STN. Due to the different liquid crystal materials and the interference of light, the color tone of this STN LCD screen is mainly light green and orange."
In the demonstration, the colors displayed on the STN screen made by Wujiang LCD Labs were indeed significantly different from those of the Sharp STN screen.
Zhao Ye thought for a moment and said, "The color is too poor, and it's almost a monochrome STN LCD. If we could add a color filter to the STN LCD screen, it would be a great improvement."
Ouyang Zhongcan smiled and nodded in agreement, "Boss, you're absolutely right! We've also found a solution. If we add a color filter to a monochrome STN LCD monitor and divide any pixel in the monochrome display matrix into three sub-pixels, displaying the three primary colors of red, green, and blue respectively through the color filter, and then harmonize the proportions of the three primary colors, we can display the colors of a full-color mode!!!"
