Tokyo Gentleman Story

April is a special month in Mud Boom.

April means the arrival of the new semester.

April also means the opening of cherry blossoms.

But for the majority of gamers, April of the millennium is a very delicate time.

Because at this time, Sega's DC upgrade version is about to appear.

No, it's not Sega now, but the Order of the Phoenix.

The new machine DC-P of the Order of the Phoenix.

For mud bombers, DC-P may be nothing, because Sony and Nintendo are more famous here, and Sega’s traditional market can only be said to occupy part of the market in mud bombers.

For players in Europe and America, this machine has been awaited for a long time.

With powerful performance, a powerful game lineup, an unprecedented Internet gaming experience, and the ability to interconnect and interact with handheld computers, this is the most powerful host platform on the market today.

The research team inherited from Sega maintains Sega's characteristic of focusing on machine performance.

Higher performance means higher costs. However, the newly-born Order of the Phoenix successfully passed on this part of the cost through a full shift to investing in a major eastern country, which also means that this new machine is more cost-effective.

Jeble is a big fan of Sega.

Jebble entered Sega because of Sega’s handheld "GameGear (GG in the early 1990s.

This handheld was made by Sega to fight Nintendo's "GameBoy", but unlike GB, which can only display black and white, Sega's machine also supports color, which can be said to be a sensation at the time.

But when Sega launched this handheld, it was conspired by Nintendo, which led to the loss of the copyright of Tetris, which made the game unfavorable and eventually went down all the way.

But Jebel likes this handheld very much. The GG handheld feels good, and most importantly, this device can be connected to a TV amplitude modulator and then used as a small TV.

Yes, Sega has done this before.

The XBOX handheld used by Morinka’s technology for external TV and mainframe originated from Sega’s own technical reserves. The other party’s research in this area is very advanced, not only with external connections, but also on how to make external screens. Maintaining clear line doubling technology and so on, it can be said that when the docking ends on Morinia, there is no need to study this aspect at all, just the adjustment between the two is good.

Jebel didn't know the story behind these things, but he knew that he needed such a game console.

Jebel is a person who likes to play games on the big TV, but at the same time, he is also a person who likes to travel around.

So, after the GG handheld came out, Jebel was fascinated.

Due to the powerful host configuration, GG surpassed other handhelds at the time in terms of image, sound and feel.

However, GG uses a color LCD screen, consumes a lot of power, and the consequence of high performance is that the body is very heavy, and the game can last only three hours, which is far less than the 8-hour battery life of GB at that time Time, so not being keen on mud bombing.

However, GG is very popular in North America.

The reason is simple, because everyone in North America has a car.

What, the machine is heavy?

It doesn't matter, let's put it in the car!

The game is cool!

At that time, the people of the Lighthouse Country were so rich and self-willed.

Jebel bought GG because of this.

The battery life of the GG handheld is terrible, only three hours, but the GG handheld is the only game console that he can put down and play on the TV, and he can play on the air when he is out. For this reason, his backpack There are often several batteries in it.

In fact, over the years, the money Jebel spent on batteries has far exceeded the money he spent on the machine itself.

It's a pity that Sega's employees' naming standards are too poor. GG handheld, and in the end it really was GG.

GG usually means persuading surrender and admitting defeat in future e-sports games.

In this world line, the name GG has also become popular because of the emergence of the hero trail.

Jebel also plays Heroic Trails, so he strongly suspects that the reason why Sega will be defeated by GB is because of poor naming standards.

Well, look, now this XBOX, this name is Dorafeng, right?

Well, this name is really cool, so that if Bill from another world line hears this name, he will want to kill Senxia's pull.

You said that I am a good home host, how can it become a handheld?

Can I still read two poems at this time?

Anyway, Moriha has already appointed the name XBOX, so the handheld or visual controller of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​called XBOX.

"so cool!"

After touching the real machine in Sega's experience store, Jebel's eyes are bright and shiny.

"Sir, this is your handheld." At this time, the clerk had already given him the handheld purchased by Jebel.

Jebel nodded and was about to leave here behind him, there were many people in line.

But at this moment, Jebel noticed a black long strip beside the display machine, and he asked curiously: "What is that?"

"That's a power bank, sir. This is the same power bank as a laptop. It can be recharged and can be used as an external power supply for your handheld." The clerk did not explain too much, because he had already explained all morning Time is up. From the morning to now, the people who bought the machines have never stopped. Those who bought XBOX, bought DC-P, and bought the new Dark Soul, explained over and over again, and said over and over again, now his whole human brain is at a loss.

Fortunately, his work today will probably be over soon.

Not that time is running out, but because they are almost out of stock here.

But the speaker is not interested, the listener is interested.

After Jebel heard the "power bank", his eyes lit up, and he leaned on the power bank.

Sure enough, there is an introduction here.

"Nickel-cadmium batteries……?"

This is actually a battery similar to the battery used in current laptops.

Because of the characteristics of the XBOX handheld, this handheld can be powered by an external power supply.

At this time, Senxia thought of mobile power.

Mobile power is a blind spot of the times.

In this year, although there are no lithium batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries still exist.

When Morinia saw the XBOX handheld, she got a lot of thoughts. Why can't this device have a portable charging device?

In the current era, there are indeed batteries, but people’s influence on batteries is stupid and black. That's because in this era, where batteries are used, most of them require high voltage and high current. It is just right for lead batteries. Suitable.

But XBOX handheld is not needed!

Relatively low voltage and low current can drive this machine!

Not only that, some portable devices of this era seem to be able to drive this way!

Of course, most electronic devices in this era use dry batteries, so the scope of use is very narrow.

Although the XBOX on Moriha's side also uses dry batteries, it can also use an external power supply because of its characteristics.

As a result, Senxia had a big brain and launched such a mobile power bank.

Of course, the price is quite high. For this one battery, the price is about the same as the handheld. The main reason is that the control circuit is super troublesome and the cost cannot be kept down.

But the Jebel here got more excited as he watched it. This mobile power bank was poking his pain points.

This stuff is great!

According to the above words of the introduction, such a power supply can supply the XBOX handheld for 24 hours, and the number of cycles of discharge is more than 500 times.

Portable?

not a problem!

When Jebel traveled, he carried a large backpack. He usually carried two batteries, which was almost the same as this power source.

"I need this too!" he said immediately.

"Okay, sir." Although the clerk was weak, he still managed to squeeze a smile.

Buy it, buy it, buy it early, let's rest early...

"Hey, buddy, don't you plan to buy a DC-P host?"

The men standing in line watched for a long time and found that Jebel hadn't bought the console. It was incredible!

"I already have a DC." He said, "I remember the game lineup is universal."

"That's different!" said the voluntary promoter, "DC-P has XBOX handheld stand and special design. As long as XBOX is placed on DC-P, DC-P can be used to output to TV. It is said The effect is very cool!"

Unlike the semi-casual player Jabble, the latter player is obviously the kind of enthusiast, he began to talk about the benefits of DC-P for XBOX.

For the average person, this kind of thing may not matter.

But after hearing that DC-P has a metaphysical bonus to the machine...No, there is a mysterious bonus...No, it is a real visual effect enhancement, Jebel's eyes shined.

then……

Then when he came out, he had not only an extra handheld, but also a mobile power bank and a new host. In addition, there was an extra "Dark Soul" and "Rebellious Lelouch's Gaiden: Nanali's Nightmare" and "Lelouch the Rebellious: HD Enhanced Edition".

Um, yes, after the launch of DC-P, based on the concept of cooking cold rice while it’s hot, Morinka has unscrupulously refined Lelouch’s modeling and characters, and launched a version for DC-P The high-definition version is actually the version with more cool graphics.

Fried cold rice should be hot while it sounds contradictory, but it actually makes sense.

"Hey, my travel expenses for next month?!"

It wasn't until the credit card came out that Jebel realized that his travel funds for this month and next month... seemed to be gone? !

The budget is over...

Blame the guy before!

Jebel turned around and wanted to settle the account with the guy who gave him "Amway" before.

Then he saw the opponent walk out with a large stack of games and two DC-P consoles in amazement.

"You buy so much? Why buy two?"

He was shocked.

"Because one person can only buy two!"

That's what the senior player opposite said.

"Huh?" Jebel was instantly blinded.

"One for missions, one for playing, and one for collecting, this is the correct game posture!"

Well, this concept is quite popular on the Internet.

But after Jebel heard it, his face was dumbfounded.

Where is this operation?

"Unfortunately, everyone can only buy two, so I can only buy these temporarily. I wish you a good time, man."

After the other party finished speaking, he passed to the parking lot.

After the other party drove away, Jebel reacted: I haven't found the other party to settle the accounts!

But unfortunately, it is too late.

Mr. Jebel, the poor casual player, could only shake his head, and then went home first.

When he got home, Jebel removed all the outer packing boxes of his machine.

Then, Jebel turned on the XBOX handheld, and then began to try a new game.

Although the XBOX handheld is not the main hit, this machine offers new Sonic games, interesting games like Bejeweled and Zuma.

Sonic will not say, the popularity of this game in Beacon Country is higher than that of Mario.

The latter two are the favorites of casual players like Jebel.

Especially that Zuma is really interesting.

After playing two levels of Zuma, Jebel connected the machine to the TV again.

There is only one connection line on the XBOX, this connection line is connected to the module, and the module serves as the power supply, video output and video input functions, but it can be placed behind the TV without thinking.

After connecting the cable, putting the machine on the TV and using the big screen to output, the effect is really better.

But at this moment, Jebel thought of what the iron rode said before.

"It seems that you can use the DC-P external connection to improve the effect?"

Thinking of this, he took out the new host.

The design of the official version of DC-P is very special. There are two handle brackets on both sides of this machine, and the handle can be placed on it when not playing games.

However, on the handle bracket, there are still several contacts that are not used by the handle.

After reading the manual for a long time, Jebel understood that the external connection method is very brainless. You only need to put the XBOX on the handle bracket, and then embed the contact in the machine, and it can be used. This docking-style contact method , And similar to IBM's laptop.

The design of DC-P in this respect is also very foolish. After connecting to the handheld device ~www.readwn.com~, the above screen suddenly becomes the handheld screen, even setting is not required.

Moreover, the picture is really different from before.

First of all, the picture is brighter, and then the frogs and the spheres launched by the frogs that act as launch pads in the picture are also clearer. After seeing this picture, Jebel seems to feel that the whole picture is at +1S, and then +1S.

Such a picture is so beautiful!

It's so cool!

...

PS1: So, why does Sega have a tragedy?

You have played GG. Whose tragedy are you not?

Fog...

PS12: Zuma’s launch pad is a frog. Is this an amazing coincidence or the wisdom of the Mayans?

Two in one, meow meow~
