With anderson I can just see the stuff im going to hate. Drac's fangs will extend furter out like the wrist blade on avp and the belmont family will be sporting g-36s instead of the famous whip and flying crosses. (runs out to the bathroom and vomits with rage)

Somebody needs to arrest him for assaulting the world with his crappy movies of mass destruction.

luckily, its just an empty box that was offered free by a member here (but still I had to pay shipping ).....but phew...am I glad to see that they spare the sticker sheet inside 

I guess Ill stop ordering from overseas for a while....just hoping they wont profile me and f%^&-up every single box that'll go to my address...

Maybe next time Ill order some sh!T overseas (I mean literally) & have em shipped here. Cant imagine how their faces will look the moment they slash the boxes

I would said they stole the fast pack just to get payback then get sent to federal jail for the false accursation.

pfft post my old ava.

fyi it was made with jasc animation shop 3

Elijah Wood is 5'5 as tall as I am..yeap I am short but far from a midget...sorry guys but midget is 5 and under...ha,ha.

The world has been "ruled" and owned by short people, and they still do..

Napoleon; short

Hitler, short

Atila the hun, short

Michael jackson, ok just the king of pop..but well, also short...

The list goes on and on...

And modernly speaking; I am sure the masonics and most rich jews (not discriminating here) are not tall or great looking either..this is history speaking ...

I would not worry about your friend seeing a short actor and feeling disgusted about it..I would fell more worry about her who had to marry a tall guy to get pass her height complex so she could feel accepted...

So your basicly saying midgets are evil bastards.

you know... I never did understand why people in the star wars universe keep putting instrument panels in conspicuous places... like on vader's chest... yet you always see him with his arms crossed... do you think he ever turns his ventilator off by accident?

i ask because i noticed they put an instrument panel on the chest of x-wing man.

I know what you mean. also why obi wan or luke never used the force to push the buttons on vader's chest buttons. One of them has to be the self destruct button.

superglue?

Looks like a badass than cute. Longs it doesn't say your terminated or lets robattle im ok.

Yes, companies DO make driver ICs in bulk.

But here's the thing... our current portable gaming devices, as far as I know, don't USE dedicated driver ICs. They're integrated into the system's chipset along with a lot of other parts.

Belive it or not there is smarter people than you working in that field and can solve any conserns you have with that plus the driver for oled types isnt that much differnt that regular tft drivers.

There are no Macs using OLED. You probably mean Apple.

And I'm not speaking in terms of "Wow, a really big company made a single product with OLEDs." I mean perecent of the market.

If I had to guess, I'd say the market is 80% LCD right now.

I perfer to call them macs, keeps my idea of apple like it was about the 80s thinking (not all about 95% gayish style to attract customers but ability to help with computing power and software) 20% is still large if you look at all the devices out there (since we on mac they have like what 15% and thats still a huge number).

for sony link

kodak puts out lots of digital cameras many of the with oled screens since 2002.

Theres already been talk that the next gen ipods will be using oled for screen for some time and little bit faster due to the nano incident.

But it won't matter its clearly you hate Oled/pled tech.

Yes. But the motherboard manufacturers don't design chips. They have no costs associated with that.

never said that. I said motherboard manufacture redesign there products for differnt chips and if you look at some of the boards you can see that where theres sometimes blank spots on the board where a chip would go or changed it with another one (sometime a smaller chip that makes it easier to tell).

No, it's soldering.

The fact that you're correcting me for using the ACTUAL term instead of a generic colloquialism just proves we're on totally diffrent levels here.

Your starting to sound like mgrexx. your related eh?

Since your so omnipotent and know everything about the universe and the things in it. I may not know everthing in the universe like you and in electronics since its so vast and is changing at light speed but I do know enough. soldering faq (edit: incase the link doesnt work heres another one link) also called stuffing the board Only diffences you take it too far with detailed junk that doesn't matter and would make a starwars geek proud and I like to keep it short.

There's a diffrence.

Those all used fairly well-established technologies, and had lots of cash behind them. The closest any of those got to new technology was the DS touch screen.

Touch screen tech isn't that new you know and to me its just a fad since I notice junk from like radio shack all the sudden had touch screen before the ds came out.

You're citing the keyboard as evidence that a technology is viable. When in fact, the product is NOT in production, or even prototype stage, and they don't even know if they CAN use the tech you're using it to support.

no more when sony fanboys talking about the power of the ps3 and ps2 way before it came out and blueray storage cap of 50GB. plus I liked the consept and its comming out around 2006 (most likely late of the year but who knows other than the designers) so I choose it also while the oled keyboard is a year or 2 out there is a lower res lcd ver out just have to be careful since you know when you press against a lcd scren plus its low res and mono unlike oled will be in the many months ahead and be much better full color screens and less prone to breaking.

if you want heres a real prototype, i dont like it much the ones in the bottom look like a gba sp.fujitsu uglyness

I'm washing my hands of this.

Yah right I already know you won't its your nature to out geekify it. I seen you do it with nearly every subject you posted on the boards.

Likely not. But if you can find an old Afterburner, there's a good chance you can modify it to fit your NGPC.

already posted that

dont care anymore but I will still defend Oled/pled tech if you want to go on. pitty insults never bother me.

I wonder how arnold feels if he saw an advance copy of it.

while we're talking trek - someone sent me stuff about George Takei coming out of the closet? is that true?

340292[/snapback]

I just heard that this morning on tv so it has to be true. said he has a lover for 18 years.

I am impressed they made it multiplayer capable even with the issues it has. Im not impressed with the 3rd party multi thief auto for the other games (too easy to cheat and buggy)

not realy a vs but its interesting. the guy who help design the b2 bomber is arrested in hawii for selling secrets of it to other countries.

Well this is a fun thread.

So uhh...anybody have any idea if I can replace the reflective TFT LCD in my Neo Geo Pocket Color with a backlit one?

340343[/snapback]

neo geo pocket died out like 5 years ago so there isnt a kit to make it backlight but if your good with electronics and have good set of tool you might try to see you can modify an afterburner kit to fit in there.

Certainly. I still don't see your point. You're comparing a product the future of wich is questionable, to products that were or are on their way to market.

oled is already proven to be flexible compared to lcd which would break due to stress on the glass plates, having oled on keyboard buttons isnt that far off.

larger buisness has there share of vaporware too.

At first glance, you'd think he's a genius at getting himself typecasted over and over again.

First Kirk, then T.J. Hooker, now Denny Crane.

But the reality is he's just playing a lifelong roll as William Shater as everybody and the character is just getting fatter and more indescribible in behavior as we proceed along the story.

you forgot the former priceline.com guy

lots of invovation comes from small buisnesses nobody heards of.

UNLESS you've already integrated an LCD driver into your chipset and would have to redesign the chip!

I'm not saying that the cost of the driver circuitry is signifigantly diffrent. Just that there are massive costs associated with redesigning existing chips.

No more that it is now using existing technology and theres companies that make driver ic in bulk.

Right. And one giant monochrome pixel is not the same as an array of tiny full-color pixels. They have totally diffrent engineering problems and costs associated.

subpixel ; array just more of them ano there is no engineering problem than the usual technology curve. "organic EL (electroluminescent)"

No, there's not a lot of OLED displays out there right now. LCD is still by far the preferred solution.

heh guess kodak, samsung, dupont, hitachi, and soon mac and various overseas companies is not alt

Motherboard redesigns and chip redesigns are diffrent issues.

And motherboard manufacturers don't give a crap. They buy standard components and solder 'em in. The costs I'm talking about NEVER affect them.

chips on pc boards and the term is stuffing

Are you sure? Because it sure sounds like you don't.

Insults don't suit you.

So you presented it as a real product anyways?

So, People do it all the time like with ps3, xbx 360, psp, nds, 1:48 valks way before the product came out.

There's more to it than that.

You have to regear all your chip fabs to burn the new chip, which can cost a LOT of money.

And even relatively trivial changes can take massive amounts of effort(and thus money) to implement. To the degree that it's cheaper to waste the silicon on transistors you'll never use than it is to redesign the chip to remove them.

OLEDs are the most cost-effective to manufacture and drivers cost compared to reg lcd is near the same.

Which isn't QUITE the same thing. Being able to make a large plate glow blue-green is a lot diffrent than a full-color display.

very much the same thing. oled is electro lum only diffence only thing is format which is same for regular lcd. Think the el in your watch is a giant subpixel of an oled display.

Blue problem? I think that's why we don't have many of them up yet.

theres already tons of them out there just need to open your eyes soon Ipod will join the portable media crowd and it will realy show. hopefully they can make blue last as long as the other colors. With the money invested from mac should make it come faster than expected; Cheaper than class action law suites .

An MP3 player designed from the ground up.

When you 're making a new product, it's not that hard to design for a new driver. When re-casing an existing one, you have to either redesign the chipset or continue with the old display tech.

Not realy look at your new sp and look at pc boards theres many revisions that will fix existing probs before and after launch of the product. Many pc mother boards come into mind with that.

It should be clarified that when I say driver, I don't mean in teh Windows sense of a piece of software telling the rest of the software how to talk to teh hardware. I mean the piece of hardware actually responsible for flipping your pixels on and off.

The hardware driving an OLED display bears very little resemblance to an LCD.

I already know that so you don't need to say that

Could be done. Rather easily. Just gotta throw a white LED under them for lighting if you want a glow.

sure if you want it to break like the ipod nano screen

And Should I point out that that keyboard DOESN'T EXIST?

IT'S A CONCEPT RENDER.

Teh russian group that designed it is trying to bring it to market. And they've said OLED is A possibiility for the key displays.

I know that for months

I thinik it's got more to do with aging than it does with whether or not they used the security screws.

The original GB LCDs are either breaking down with age, or the connector is(likely the connector, given the column failures).

nope I had the the newer one longer and it was way more clearer than the ones that came out back in earily 90s

But that makes you redesign your chipset, which costs money, which eats into your profits. They aren't in this just for fun. They're here for the money.

fire your workers then if they serv no purpose in development

I doubt it.

They're likely all going to wait another generation or 2. Let OLED prove long-term reliability on someone else's product first.

Like I said, since it's not a drop-in replacement, you won't see them swap screen designs. Their current video hardware is mated to LCDs. They don't want to redesign the chipset just so they can use a new technology with little field testing.

You can still wish for a oled or pled screen psp or gp2x

should been already been proved reliable since its invention in 1980 and its in many watches since its basicly the el lights in casio watches just in an active matrix display. Also oled diodes lifespan has been increasing steadly over the years just need to figure out the blue problem. plus since its already been a mp3 player with a oled display the size of an 1 inch cube, it shouldn't be much differnt driver to run it and can be made small enough that if the buiness decides the overall cost would get lower since oled and pled is cheaper than lcds.

I like to see a regular lcd this this

oled keyboard

I knew the original, Pocket, and Color used diffrent displays, though.

Pocket had a much cleaner monochrome screen, and the Color used the same tech as the Advance.

Also the original gb screen was differnt and the ones put out years later. the first ones with the standard screws the screen was more faded compared to the newer ver with those 3 prone safety screws that hold them together.

Could just be a case of Nintendo using a tech they already have hardware for, then.

Using OLED could require a signifigant redesign of the hardware to replace the LCD driver with a OLED one. Dunno if the display driver is integrated with the rest of the hardware or not.

Thats why they pay the designers to make it work if they wanted to. wished psp or gp2x used the oled tech but they will either push out another product with it or do a "nintendo" with the newer sp.

340251[/snapback]

I read they did the front light since the backlight tech of the time sucked up power like a psp.

Heh.

I'm pretty sure it was just so they could use the same screen in both systems, though that WAS the reason the original GB and GBColor weren't lit. Possibly GBA even. But the SP could've been backlit.

the original gba had enough room for the afterburner kit and was put out eariler so my guess why they didn't use a internal lighting system was the same old docerin of long battery life. the original gb and its versions had diffent screens and was differnt from pocket ver and gbcolor ver. But had plenty of room for lighting on the sides of the lcd screen. my old 2 gb I took apart since my first one the speaker was messed up to due to vocanic ash and the next one many years later was just getting old and just got curious . But I have to guess to save power too but I didn't feel it needed to be lighted up, It was very easy for me to see the huge pixels of the time.

  My only prob is they took them too long to get the more effient backlighting into it, think it would have oled screen by now. 

OLED still isn't ready for prime time.

My self Xmas present dissagrees with you. I need a new mp3 player since I tend to destroy them when im hiking plus it plays movies and this can play movies compared to my second choise the arex thumbstick solid which just have a 2 color oled screen.
