What are the advantages to doing this over just having different stylus replacements? The cost difference for molding a bit of a smaller piece of plastic doesn't seem worth it compared to the more costly stylus base that everyone would need to have. And there'd be more work switching between them this way, but most people would just stick with one anyway.
It's very obvious on my CC and 1GHz Pandoras, and it was very obvious on the dev board + LCD I had briefly in 2008. Nowhere close to PSP-1000 levels, but still easy to see. But if you never have images with high enough contrast and/or fast enough motion you might not see it. A good test is a game that uses black outlines around sprites and in backgrounds. For me a good test was Bonk's Revenge on PC-Engine.
First, I don't like the fact that the current Pandora Stylus has a simple and hard plastic tip, I would prefer a softer version but the tip is part of the stylus so I would need another stylus which would not fit into the pen holder inside of the Pandora of course.
That's the whole idea actualy:
So basically, your problems would be solved in ED or anyone else offered alternative styluses, compatible with Pyra that were to your liking? In that case would you still really want replaceable tips?First, I don't like the fact that the current Pandora Stylus has a simple and hard plastic tip, I would prefer a softer version but the tip is part of the stylus so I would need another stylus which would not fit into the pen holder inside of the Pandora of course.
Second, nobody sayed that these tips have been made extra, because THEY ALREADY EXIST!
Third, it would actualy save costs because you just need to replace a tiny little part instead of a whole stylus if the tip wears off or you want a different stylus feeling.
and another (personal) reason: IT JUST DOESN'T LOOK AS CHEAP AS THE CRAPPY PANDORA STYLUS!!!
I am not too fond of white, but a metal band, or, even better, full metal case, works for me, and the latter is something I really want. At least I stopped begging for an unnecessary, and expensive, metal stylus once there was hope for a metal case option...
I want it.
Also Kujaku 2/Mystic Defender on Megadrive.
Yup and games in general that use checkered dithering to "fake" more colours, MegaDrive and Amiga games used this technique a lot.
This is what I have in mind - of course shaped differently to fit the Pyra:
Metroid for nes. For some reason its the worst or most noticeable with heavy red to black scenes.
Actually, Android supports just about every input method you could imagine. It even supports a mouse perfectly and just assumes a left click is the same as a finger tap on a screen spot, so I don't think it's fair to criticize Android in that regard. It also supports full keyboard and HID interfaces, including a dedicated (and standard) game controller layout, so games can automatically detect what inputs are available and optimize based on that - by presenting onscreen controls if no physical ones are available, for example.
You dont need app distribution on Linux, You have repositories instead. Way better than the Google crapstore.
Actually no, they aren't perfectly transparent either, however I find them much more transparent than resistive screens. Resistive layers often give a muddy/matte quality to images as the plastic in them tends to alter the image in a way I find much more visible than a capacitive layer.
Rigorous testing was probably meant in the sense of testing /you/. I.e. can you actually identify resistive/capacitive, given say 10 different top resistive touch layers and 10 different capacitive, on the same screen, without knowing beforehand which is which. Each screen could be given to you 10 times, totaling 200 tests, with (always the same) 15 seconds of a video of your choosing per test.
Yes, Android supports all Input devices.
