I hope, there is something like a good "PCB-designing-Software" that helps to make such a board nearly free of errors.craigix posted on May 23 2009 at 02:20 PM said:I should add in that it's such a big deal as this is one of the most advanced portable devices ever made, and it isn't Sony or Nintendo, it's us.

Well at least i'll have my new camera and a couple of photoshoots to keep me busy in the interim.craigix posted on May 23 2009 at 01:20 PM said:Not all of them, we are still tweaking the hinge area to prevent any possible snaps. The rest is done though.
This isn't a big deal as the order for that can progress as the MP boards roll off the line and are tested.
Testing the boards is a bigger deal.

ah see now this is the kind of attention to detail i like. it does frustrate me when people get all "oh no, its been so long its not relevant anymore" because a) thats rubbish anyway, for all the time it is functional it will be relevant and B) the more its rushed out the more little things like this will go unresolved.craigix posted on May 23 2009 at 05:00 PM said:Oh, I forgot, DaveC is adjusting the Dpad too, it needs a bigger pivot as the current 'sink depth' is a mm or so too far, this change should stop what I used to call 'Crazy Taxi Thumb', ie after a couple of hours your thumb starts to hurt.

That's the sign that you should take a break. Remove that, and people will be forced to play their games for hours and hours on end! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

sadly i dont have any of the latest generation of consoles. i have a Game Cube and a Gameboy Colour. if i was going to go for any of them though it would probably be a PS3. i am not as keen on the controller (i love the game cube controller and the 360 one is pretty nice too) but i arbitrarily prefer the system. the most likely systems for me to get any time soon though are a PS2 and a Dreamcast as i somewhat inherited about 50 or so games across those systems!
