The Wiz Naked

[EvilDragon]

Just got one of the WIZ prototypes. It's still the old one with 2,5mm headphone jack and double-DPad, but here are some sexy naked pictures
(yes, it has got two speakers, one just fell off and I need to resolder it, that's why there's only one on those pictures).

As usual, click on the images for a bigger view. Enjoy

It's a good idea... Since we don't have a cable to charge the unit. Use and tear it off.

 

[Squirrel61]

LOL They're using the PSP on/off switch! Does the Wiz also use the "hold" position?

I see quality control is as good as ever...

It's a prototype

I wonder what those CON4 and CON5 slots on pcb2.jpg are for

 

[techFreak]

ED, Did you notice that the "lock" symbol is on the wrong side of the button.
@Squirrel61 : Yes. A hold function exists which is identical to PSP.

Yep, already saw that at the IFA

Thanks for the pictures, Ed!

Can you detect the manufacturer of the OLED?

The controller is a Samsung S6E63D6. Don't know about the actual panel though.

EDIT: For the screen this is.

Probably badly removed solder flux. Or glue.

Ah, yes. Thanks, Orkie.


BTW. What's the purpose of the SST39VF3201? It seems to be a 32 Mbit NOR Flash chip.

 

[Squidge]

It probably boots from NOR, but the file system is on NAND, which is a typical configuration.

The lack of a center pivot on the D-pad is of concern. In many games if you accidentally press 3 or all 4 directions at once the game control locks up or gives erratic movement.

I was under the impression that GPH are adding a D-pad pivot. However, your thing about games crashing is utter shit.

Ahh, nice big jpegs.

Thanks much ED.

quoted for truth...

maybe davec games uses length of two arrays for storing dpad inputs and they overflow in some wacky manner h34r:

thanks ED, cool pics pollux looks sexy

There are a few games which do that, but it was more likely some kind of hardware protection mechanism (especially back in the days of pirate arcade games).

As for home consoles, was it battle toads which does it too? Goes mental if you press an impossible combination? I remember this from the early days of PC emulators and using the arrow keys.

 

[PokeParadox]

An emulator can protect against this behaviour so it's still kinda "utter shit" :lol:

In defense of DaveC is erratic is *NOT* the same as crashing, erratic could simply mean that the gamer controlled character stops moving due to conflicting inputs
