Hayazawa Airi handed Takeyuho a handle, and Takeyuho began to operate it proficiently.

Familiar selection game screen, familiar character interface, all of these are almost exactly the same as the switch in the original world.

Of course, this is also the design plan proposed by Zhuyouxing at the beginning. After Zhuyouxing gave a clear direction, the engineers in charge of system development did not need to spend too much time.

"This system is still a first version, and there should still be many loopholes, but I have asked my people to seize the time to test the stability of the system, and the versatility you have always said about Zhuyou. In this regard, we have roughly It’s done, now you want to run some old games on FC, SFC, and GS1 on it, it’s no problem at all, but because some games are developed by third parties, we found that there are still some minor problems during testing, and some problems still exist It may become an unstable factor, which is the main reason why I want you to come and take a look, and let you make a decision."

"What kind of unstable factors?"

Tsukino Aya looked at an engineer beside her and said, "Please explain, the system of the game console is developed by you, and the chip is also debugged by you and the chip manufacturer. You should be more familiar with it."

"Okay." A man who looked close to forty years old stepped forward.

Just by looking at the opponent's hairstyle, Zhu Youxing knew that he was definitely a strong man.

Even in a company like Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which commutes on time and has weekends, he can still have such a strong hairstyle, then he is definitely not an ordinary person, and Zhu Youxing can't help but have some respect for the other party Emotions.

"Hello, President, I am mainly responsible for system development. I used to work in the operating system development department of Morgan Group, so I have quite a lot of experience in this area."

It turned out to be an employee from the strongest operating system company, no wonder.

Zhu Youxing was a little stunned.

"Hello, you are very welcome to come and play for me."

The other party didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "President, regarding this unstable factor, it is actually more a problem with the chip we selected."

"The problem with the chip?"

"That's right, President, what you want is universal and easy to develop. On this requirement, we have studied back and forth with several chip giants for a long time. In the end, they gave different solutions respectively, and the last one is in line with They are almost the only choice for your requirements, and are also responsible for various requirements in terms of heat dissipation and energy consumption ratio. However, because of the versatility and ease of development, the chip is very open and can be easily adopted by others. Breaking through the data defense line, in simple terms... is to be cracked."

crack.

This is also a very familiar vocabulary.

In Zhu Youxing's memory, he has been in contact with cracking game consoles since he was a child.

In the Chinese country where he originally lived, there was almost no soil for the survival of genuine games at the beginning.

Almost all the games that Zhuyouxing can play are so-called cracked games.

And these cracked games do not need to pay any money to the game developers, even if they are prostitutes for nothing.

For game developers, this is actually a very big loss.

The more people who play the hacking game, the bigger the loss.

It's just that different countries attach different importance to this aspect, and game developers can never avoid cracking this kind of thing.

Zhuyouxing later gave a means to barely solve part of the cracking problem, that is, to lower the cost of the game console as much as possible.

It's best to pull it down to the point where even the crackers don't bother to do it.

For example, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment still maintains a production line to produce and sell FC game consoles.

This thing has sold 400 million units so far, and it can be called the unbeatable Xiaoqiang in the video game industry.

No matter which game console sells well, I am afraid it will not be able to surpass the sales of FC.

The most important factor is that the selling price of FC game consoles is frighteningly low.

In Africa, the combined price of a FC game console and a 30-in-1 game cartridge does not exceed ten dollars, but it allows people to play happily for a long time.

So FC beat down almost everyone who wanted to crack this game console.

But other game consoles... can't use this method.

Because the cost is really high, it is impossible for Zhuyouxing to do charity for all game consoles.

In terms of anti-cracking, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is also doing its best.

The most work that each game console does on the basis of versatility is to prevent cracking.

If a game console is cracked too hard, it will also be a kind of harm to the partner.

It is indeed possible for me to make more money because of the hot sale of the game console.

But because the peers couldn't recover the cost on this game console, and were disgusted because of the cracking, even the hardest partners would be chilled.

Therefore, in order to take care of the mood of these partners, anti-cracking must continue to be done.

But in fact, cracking is not the real source of disaster.

Cracking itself is a kind of remodeling of the game console, just like the development of MOD modules in games promoted by Zhuyouxing, it is a free choice of players.

Some people crack but just hope to have more freedom of choice on the game console.

When someone hacked the GSX game console of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, they simply wanted to make the interface of the game console look more beautiful, or they developed a self-made system to make the operation of the game console smoother and more in line with their own aesthetics.

Turnips and greens have their own preferences, and you can't expect everyone to accept the operating system interface you designed.

As for the cracking of the game, it should be regarded as an added value in the cracking field.

But it is this added value that will greatly affect game sales.

"How easy is this game console to crack?" Zhu Youxing asked.

"As long as someone who is more familiar with operating system programming and other aspects can easily crack it."

Zhu Youxing was silent for a while.

It seems that versatility and ease of development still have great shortcomings.

The original purpose of Zhuyouxing was to make it easier for game developers to develop games for their own console platforms.

And if you want to release games on multiple platforms in the future, you can also port them more easily.

But now this can be regarded as a minefield for himself.

"Have you thought of a way to avoid cracking?"

"Yes, but this will affect the universality requirements you mentioned, President." The engineer of the R\u0026D system said, "As far as the loopholes I have discovered now, people who want to crack can easily use the ports of many old games. Breaking through the defenses of the console, I still haven't found a way to make these games play on this console without being cracked."
