Craig has already stated that we're using a plastic-metal combination :), in my particular post above, we would only need the upper half of the console ( screen side ) to be metal, and add to that, a secondary plastic matt faceplate( of any colour you choose ) that clips onto the metal one...

Well, yes, It was only an idea though :), it could be metal, and could be any colour.

This is a little off topic, but I thought that it would be a good idea to bring it up again :) http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=38605&hl= -- Leaving that aside, we must remember that even if we don't have the same button layout, it should be reasonably comortable to have just...

People aren't acting as if they need those buttons, they are only suggesting that having them would be better than not having them. Craig has already stated that it will have two shoulder buttons, I for one know that it's enough as we have plenty other extra buttons available... It'll just...

Could use a different tone non matt plastic, or even metal around the button areas, keeping the rest of the machine matt :)

Those would be great Eolair :), they could be used at the same time when needed. PSX emulation would be fine with those methinks.

It would be the perfect machine with the 4 shoulder buttons / triggers, I agree... But I also do think that if the other buttons are well placed, we may not need them ;) Would be nice to see the sketches for the original beast design, if there are any yet :)

My pleasure :) , and thanks for the info, I foresee a brilliant future for the new beast B)

I will suggest once again, rubberized+chrome finish ( Gizmondo style ), or anodized aluminium... And if not that, matt black or grey plastic, no gloss, no prints :) We should make this machine look as good as it will perform.

Craig, could you please tell us what materials will be used for the case? Also, please, tell us how many shoulder buttons / triggers it'll have. I like asking questions, even if I don't get them answered :lol: BTW. I'll be donating, but can't do it for another day or three ( no cash...

It would make people cry with envy :) ( but should be darker :lol: )

:lol: It's why I asked, if there is something that I'm seriously against, it's turning this into a huge mobile phone.

Craig, could you please confirm if this going to be a phone? Case: A dark brushed alu case would look great, would disipate heat better, and would offer nice grip. Also Craig, please, please, please, confirm if this is going to have triggers or shoulder buttons. :lol: Had to try... I don't...

Nope, seems not, but he considers the OMAP :D WiFi yes, bluetooth no, one SD slot... Nice so far. Craig, don't leave this beast without shoulder triggers/buttons... It's against evolution :lol:

Some GP2X First Edition consoles had a rumble simulation if you shook them hard enough :D - Craig is right, this should be kept simple or it's going to grow in size and price :) - BTW. zaffercharles, where does the keyboard go in your design?

Don't get excited, DON'T GET EXCITED!!!.... AARRRRGHHH, Mewants! :lol:

AMD Puma anyone? ( or was it Griffin ??? ) Lets just stick to what have already been considered viable options, or we'll end up waiting until 2009 :lol:

zaffercharles, another thing regarding the bottom triggers... You have a straight flat wall that would probably not feel too comfortable, remember that the middle fingers go there and that they are longer :)... need a little more space, if the wall is slightly curved, better B)

I did see it and already said that it's a great design :) A user on the Spanish forum has suggested that the buttons for vertical play should probably be in a more diagonal position :) ( top one ( left ) more to the left, bottom one ( right ) more to the right on the left side, opposite for...

Still looks pretty incredible ;)
