My point was just that I don't think we can stereotypically associate a device with a given country. The question would have been better if it had been "Why aren't Japanese and Chinese developers making a system like this?"

Why are people so down on Ubuntu? Just because it's easy to use even for beginners doesn't mean that it can't still be good for experts as well. I wouldn't care if it were Ubuntu, Debian, or whatever, just as long as a mainstream desktop distro could be used in times of need to prove it's not...

Umm... It's not like the US government made this device. It's just a group of people. They could be of any national origin, it wouldn't change what they do.

Wow. This sounds really cool. Those keyboard encoders are awesome also. For $40, I might just have to pick one up.

And yet, we continue to discuss it. I think the point has been made that the layout is not like a nintendo or Sony console, that it doesn't matter anyway because we can make the buttons do whatever the hell we want, and that this thread is silly. I don't think anything more can be said, yet...

Making such a mod on your own is surely fine. And, certainly no one would mind if you posted purely instructional descriptions of how to do it on this website... ;)

Shame. I believe there's an arm port of QEMU (sloooow, I know), so could we still get, say, ReactOS loaded on QEMU playing a few Windows programs slowly and with low compatibility? It'd be fun to try, anyway... I never could get that arm-QEMU to work on Windows Mobile...

I don't think so, but what about under wine? Will wine work?

Wait, I seem to be getting conflicting messages: Is Zod one of the 100 or one of the 5 (I'm going with 5 as an approximation. I know it's more like 12) who got (gets) hand made boards long before anyone else?

Yeah, I'd also like to see that device itself. How are you using the controls, currently? Does it have any on board yet?

But what's going on with the 3000? Are housings being manufactured yet? What's still "in development" as far as the hardware goes? What's left to do, besides that?

The June/July date has gone unchanged for quite a while now, and the 100 really did get theirs in April/May, so I feel like it's really going to happen! Even late July counts. Any time before August, please!

Why can't he send psx4all to the devs with the new cases, and have them make a video of someone playing it? It'd be more interesting than just watching some colors and some pictures go by!

Is the case going to be matte black, like the MK0s, or is it going to be shiny? That makes a big difference. If it's shiny, it's hard and unessassary to paint. If it's matte, well, then we'll talk about painting it. It's completely doable, but I think it wouldn't look nearly as good as a real...

It doesn't need to be FoF, in my opinion. Any similar clone that can read the same data files (.ogg music and .mid note tracks) should be fine. How about it then, a new game, Pandoras on Fire?

I know, what I mean is it's just aesthetic. Why can't you just tell the game x = a or whatever and play without looking at the label? That's what you do on basically any computer game anyway...

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, but it's just one would have to be a little smaller for the other to be full size. The idea is that you'd hit a key and the big and little screen would switch places. You only really need to use one at a time for many games, anyway.

This is totally necropost, but that does sound like an interesting idea, so it might be ok. Would the admins of this system be likely to actually do this for a system with only 3000 potential users, though?

It's just a button label! Can't you map the control to any function you want?

True. I think the nature of the clamshell will also prevent it from being scratched by coins in your pocket and such, so I guess that was a great design choice. NDS sounds kinda out there right now... Where would the second screen go? Off to the side, in miniature, using a button to change...
