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

Former Member
Former Member over 15 years ago

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.

    Sorry to say this to you ethan, but there is already a device that does this. It is called the personal computer. An xbox, ps3, or whatever is just a pc designed to be work in a specific fashion, to play games proprietarily. However, games are almost always designed ON pc. This is kinda silly, as we could just play them on our own pcs instead of having to buy consoles. However, companies have there own agendas, piracy and profits and such.

     

    I'm not saying that consoles are stupid, as there are many pluses to designing one (efficency, price, etc). However, the idea to mash all of them into a case seems. . . . useless. The consoles would just be in a big box. It might look neat, but the fuction would be no different. When you mod something you try to make it do something different then it was supposed to, like make a crank flashlight charge your phone.

     

    Don't feel bad ethan, as I have heard this idea from a large number of people.
