GE Handheld?

[SuperSonic]

I was just joking. He said 'WM' and when I looked at it, I thought it looked like 'MW' so I wrote that to be silly =)

[Goomba]

me was silly too

[Bee-Ant]

WM in this case stands for Windows Mobile.
We're talking about handheld GE devide right?

[DST]

You know, if there were ever a time in the history of humanity to make a handheld device on your own, THIS IS THE TIME.

Use raspberry pi's with some cheap touchscreens from china.

Pi, battery, touchscreen, casing...the casing is maybe the hardest part!

[Fojam]

Nothing a cardboard box and some ductape cant fix

[JamesLeonardo32]

@DST I know, its so much easier to make anything nowadays! Im looking forward to receiving my Ras Pi!

[Goomba]

i need to get more money me dont have enough money to get raspberry pi but i will work on how i am going to build it i recently got the rest of the tools i need and once i am done(third time i have said this ) i will make tutorial EDIT i know an easier way of making this so i need to get a few things

[hunter84]

looks like a good idea. i would pay for a GE console

[Goomba]

really? wait would i need a license in order to sell the console and not sell the games until i got my license?

[hunter84]

haha yeah but i love handheld consoles and would love to buy this. hopefully make games for it also. im working on a space platformer right now

[Goomba]

wait seriously would i have to have a license to sell the console and not the game EDIT actually, i is making a tutorial when finished i have a design that is super easy to do and you dont need to solder anything... most likely that is at least what i am aiming for.

Like i said before, You need to think what you will do after your project is done.

Get the license before publish or publish before you get the license is the choice for developer. choose wisely.
If you want to sell think about the price also. if the price is higher than GP2x or NDS or PSP it is really hard to make the market.
[because of the game-soft also]

Btw, you need to make a thing work before to talk these details.

[NightOfHorror]

Well, I wanted someone to finally do this one of these days, so good luck. Some questions of my own are:

-What do you think the price will be?
-How will you determine the developers of the games for your GE console? (What I'm saying is, will you have to make sure that are you going to have a test to see who can make games for the console, so people with games that don't appeal to the market don't get put on there.)
-What will the name of the system be?
-Will you make a second version even?
-What will cartridges look like?
-How will copyright be placed on our games and the console?
-How much money will this cost? (Just curious)

Sorry for all the questions, I just am kind of excited that someone is doing this.

@chai i was wondering i know that i have to make it work

@nightofhorror i will answer your questions in order

1. maybe around 50 dollars or lower it is no the most fantastic thing ever made.
2. I was thinking that when it is sold people xould make their own games with it of course i will make my most famed games for it and i can ask other people if they could make the handheld version of their games too.
3. We were thinking of Game Editor Pocket
4.most likely even the gameboy advance had gameboy advance sp.
5. I was thinking about using sd cards as cartridges but they would be to easy to hack hmmm...
6. i dont know i will have to figure that out.
7.see first answer

i am open to questions and comments feel free to input an idea

[hunter84]

i read the instuctables and it looks like it will work for sure. hopefully it will be easy make games for it.
