Viewer Challenge (Multi-System.....System)

Former Member

Hello, I am young viewer of the show and and challenging Ben Heck to try his abilities and to make a system that can play games from more than one system (ex. PS2, XBOX) but the real challenge is to choose from the examples and to add either DS or PSP capabilities.

  • All those system you listed have diffrent programing that is used. For the same reasons you can not just plug a PS2 game into a XBox 360 would be the problem here. You would have to program another system to decode and decipher and render the graphics from each system used. Thats allot of codeing to be done, more than any single human could do.

    Well, what if ben built a custom case that had a multi disk changer (IE a 3 disk changer) that doesnt spin, just loads straight and each of the slots is labeled for each system (360, wii, ps3). Once it is in, lets say you put in a PS3 game into the ps3 slot. each disk area has a separate disk reader from the system in question (the xbox reader would be under the xbox, ps3 under the ps3 slot, etc) that would connect to the main system that is built into the box. basicly its all three machines in one box, just different disk readers given that the reader cant read other system disks right?  if a single reader CAN read all the disk, just cant execute it due to different systems, has a single drive connected to a device that can read what kind of disk it is, then pass the code onto the correct system.
