Schizophretard Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Oh...I remember that post now, thanks. There are a lot of details of this I've forgotten, I just remember Mike was the innocent victim in all of this. The man wouldn't even hurt a fly... on one of the corpses under the bus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I wonder if this technology (or similar) could be used to make flash carts that update their label: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/220274-lg-to-unveil-18-inch-oled-display-that-can-be-rolled-up-like-a-newspaper Then using a flashcart would look very close to the real thing (they already feel close enough).

godslabrat Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 From the Retro magazine page... Can't tell if it's serious or not, but I bet Mike would be too dense to figure out why Nintendo will succeed where he'd fail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo likes to steal use people's ideas. I wonder if we could licence an idea like "let's make a cartridge console system" and protect it.

Pipercub Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I doubt Nintendo will have the same steely eyed captain of industry grasp on the situation. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hear that John Carlsen knows "one of the best patent attorneys in Silicon Valley", so maybe he can hook us up. "Let's make a cartridge console system!", along with "We've got the controllers, we've got the console shell, and that's half the battle right there!", is about as concrete as the RVGS/Chameleon "design" ever got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I would bet on troll, but with his "fanbase," it's sometimes hard to tell. I went looking for that comment and found this: RETRO Magazine August 12 at 7:03pm · Who loved Tips & Tricks Magazine?

godslabrat Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah, when nearly every FB comment is "Can't wait for this! Thank you for supplying the Retro goodness!" It's really hard to believe these "fans" aren't paid shills. Or unpaid shills. Or Mike trying to fill a Tuesday afternoon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think some game developers did that in the olden days to identify the source of leaks or stolen information. It's called a canary trap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If the NX gets 3DS like cartridges and assuming it isn't a handheld then it still wouldn't be a return to the kind of cartridges that were in past consoles because they would be SD cards. And even if SD cards were what Mike had in mind for his SNEZ, Nintendo still wouldn't be stealing his idea because Sony got there first with the PlayStation TV: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I don't see how making a system with cartridges is an original idea to steal. Maybe you mean relaunching a home console with carts in modern times, but nothing happened and there was no clear business plan on how it would sustainable. The AVS guys did it with a high quality famiclone. So nothing to steal there either. Edited August 21, 2016 by Newsdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Playstation TV is a device to let you to play Vita on TV. Vita is a handheld system. When you play Vita games on a big TV with a controller, it's not a handheld system anymore. QED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Playstation TV is a device to let you to play Vita on TV. Vita is a handheld system. But the PlayStation TV is still a console that uses SD card like carts. Since the Vita failed this was Sony's last attempt to save it by changing the games from handheld games to console games. Anyway, the NX's carts would be similar and therefore Nintendo wouldn't be the first to use these kind of carts for a TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't see how making a system with cartridges is an original idea to steal. Mike's idea wasn't an original idea but an idea to bring back cartridge based consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
