D-Pad is too spaced out? And where is the second analogue nub?

 

[moz]

This looks like the same old shit.


[OFFTOPIC]


Why do you keep changing your name Johnson? It's getting confusing


[/OFFTOPIC]

 

[SNESFAN]

This is just a draft design, i doubt it will have dual analog nubs, but I'm going to push them in that direction for a future design for sure. If you guys have anything else to add to my little list let me know and I'll throw it in there. Like how would *you* change one of these if you could?


everything I put I gave to them and will make sure I explain each one in depth and while it's important to "us"


The dpad was from a reference design, not nessisarly a final design, I'm also going to push to get a solid Dpad and just plain round ABXY action buttons.


one bad thing was they said internal non-replaceable lipo battery. If I can I want to also push for a standard battery like a widely used nokia battery or something standard.


@moz - i wanted somethig cooler than my actual real life name. I first chose panda express but decided agiasnt it, then changed it to android within like 5 min, i wouldn't say that's "keep changing"

 

[Nintendo]

IMHO, this is going to turn out crap as usual.

 

[DaMummy]

heres a smart idea, quit cloning one of the worst handheld dpad and analogue stick

A good idea would be to quit cloning anything.


If a good handheld with a proper open OS suited for gaming (without any ripped software) comes out, I'd love to sell it in Germany as well... but I can't possibly sell clones...

 

[moz]

I am sure they could push twice as many units if they used an original design.

 

[SNESFAN]

I think there was a communication barrier between me and JXD so I had my hand at photoshop to better convey my ideas.


also FYI the image I was given was a photoshop it's self, I figured it out when I got down to editing it ... so it definately a WIP for them


regardless here is what I sent them back

I'm sure that won't stop you from buying one ;p

 

[vcoleiro1]

Where's the slide out keyboard in your concept image Android ?

 

[SNESFAN]

Not a fan of keyboards on gaming handheld... no offense to pandora

 

[moz]

That second design looks much better, my only problem with it is that the ABXY buttons look a bit too far spaced apart.

 

[DisgruntleElf]

Here's a feat. Try and get JXD to give out the OS source code. Wouldn't have to depend on them for updates.

 

[SNESFAN]

Quick... need to know how much you would pay for the concept design... if it existed, had android, a Cortex A9 (maybe multi-core) and 512mb-1GB of ram?


so... basically how much would you pay for a cheap Chinese game handheld, if it had some decent specs and decent controls?


If it has everything I listed and was decent enough I'd say I would pay $250 - $350 USD.... does that sound pretty accurate for "the retro gaming community" ?


I'm talking to some manager of sales and PR and she likes my ideas a lot.


also going to try to take in some of the ergonomics design ideas from the JXD A3300 (without the stupid dpad/action buttons) and add some L1, L2, R1, R2 buttons to the top

 

[DaMummy]

explain to me how the nub placement is ergonomic though

 

[Nintendo]

$0

 

[SNESFAN]

true... but I can't actually think of a better place to put them more comfortably except for directly under and off center towards the screen from the dpad /action buttons. Well without it being like a foot long


I got some of that "just add water" prototyping molding putty and some old school console controllers, and I was thinking of doing a mock up of what I got in mind and send it to them, if they take my ideas any more serious.


anyone remember my SNES/odroid hardware mod I did?

 

[moz]

You know what would be an awesome design? If the action buttons were on top of a large nub (probably not possible though, and if you swapped the D-Pad and the other nub around.
