Only those who help themselves have someone to help, but if you want others to help, you need to work hard first.

Yokoi Junhei's laughter is heartwarming. Although Nintendo is a traditional and closed small Kyoto factory, they have some history in helping others.

The most famous example is HAL where Iwada Satoshi is located. But even if Nintendo has such a "crime", Takahashi did not expect that when he encountered problems, Nintendo would come to help him.

The people they helped are very good. Are they excellent enough? Takahashi asked himself.

This thought can be put in the back, but replying to Yokoi Junhei has to do it immediately.

"I really need help." Takahashi on the phone smiled bitterly. If all manufacturers refuse to provide them with chips with better performance, their arcade journey might have died.

Yokoi Junhei seemed to have not noticed Takahashi's wry smile. He said in a sunny voice, "We have a batch of chips that we don't use after researching, which cost about a thousand yuan. Do you want to use them? You can sell them to you at the market price. 8086, I think you just need this kind of chip in your place."

"8086? That's great, but Mr. Yokoi, we have an independent graphics processor. Can you help me contact Ricoh?"

8086 is Intel's first X86 architecture processor, which is the first generation X86 architecture processor. It is a 16-bit processor and is mainly used on IBM compatible machines. The compatible machine built on this processor is called 186, and the subsequent machine built on this series of processors is the so-called 286,386,486.

There are many benefits to using an 8086 processor. First of all, the price is cheap, and secondly, the performance is sufficient, but the problem is also obvious. It is easier to imitate a machine using this processor.

Therefore, Takahashi wanted to use the graphics processor that the computer company is developing on the "Bubble Dragon" arcade. In this way, even if 8086 is everywhere, the exclusive graphics processor is not so easy to find.

"The graphics processor you made by yourself? The price of a streamer is not low. It depends on what process you need. The graphics processor on the red and white machine was as high as 5,000 US dollars per square millimeter. In my opinion, it would be better to use general parts. If you customize it yourself, the cost would be too high." Junhei Yokoi continued to use his thinking of thinking with backward technology.

"Are you five thousand..." Takahashi muttered, "The price of 5 thousand per square millimeter is not very expensive. Before crossing Takahashi once asked a friend who worked at Huawei that the cost of 16 nanometers of 150,000 US dollars per square millimeter. However, the difference between the 150,000 US dollars at that time and the current 5,000 US dollars is not as big as the number.

Yokoi Junhei thought Takahashi was frightened by the price of 5,000 US dollars per square millimeter. In fact, when he heard the offer, he was really shocked. He took out a ruler and drew a square millimeter square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square square.

It costs 5,000 US dollars if the price of a small piece of the nail is the same. I guess I can never afford a toilet in my life...

"Would you like to try using the graphics processor developed by Nintendo? Yes, it's the one on the red and white machine. The performance may be really not good, but one piece is not enough, so just two pieces are enough." Junhei Yokoi said.

Takahashi thought about it. With his current capital, it is really unrealistic to develop his own graphics processing. Although the money for a slitting film can be used, no one can guarantee that the circuit designed will be available.

Even if there is no problem in theory, in actual operation, a little disharmonious electromagnetic interference may cause the entire processor to be scrapped.

Although the processor design on Japan is still in the stage of manual testing, it is said that the United States has used supercomputers to verify drawings.

"Well, thank you, thank you, thank you Miyamoto Shigeru, President Mr. Yamauchi," Takahashi said sincerely.

"Okay, it's okay, come on." Junhei Yokoi showed a Doraemon who was giving props, and disappeared after giving the props.

The follow-up matters were handed over to the people below, and Takahashi set out to the computer company to tell them about the chips.

"The PPU of the graphics processor of 8086 and Nintendo is too large. If you follow this plan, it will be difficult to meet the anti-counterfeiting requirements." Nakamura Nobuki was embarrassed.

"Then let the physical operations be independent and designed as a dedicated circuit. The processor is responsible for the subsequent explosion operations and sound operations. There is no end to anti-theft, and we cannot pay too much cost for it. If we cannot be imitated on a large scale within three months, we will be considered a victory."

Takahashi said calmly.

Although Nobutaka Nakamura will consider the cost now, deep down, he is still a person who is academic and wants to do everything to the extreme.

Can anti-pirated versions basically eliminate piracy? It is possible from a hardware perspective. As long as all components are designed independently and specially customized, outsiders cannot get key components, they will naturally not copy them. Although reverse engineering can also obtain drawings of these components, almost all companies will not do such things that are far higher than their income. Isn’t it good to have those machines that crack the pirated number to make more money?

Therefore, the anti-pirated version standard that Takahashi wants to achieve does not need to be too high, as long as it is a little higher than that of his peers who also make games.

"Just design according to this plan, try to be as fast as possible, but you still have to pay attention to rest and don't get tired of your body." Takahashi looked at the dark circles of Nakamura Nobuki's eyes and couldn't help but worry.

Although he did not ask these people to reach any intensity of work, these people from the computer club were like struggling. From work until night, Takahashi was really afraid that they would die suddenly. The news of overwork death is endless in Japan.

"Yes." Nobutaka Nakamura, who had a pencil on his ear, turned around and continued to work after agreeing.

Takahashi shook his head and left Tokyo Institute of Technology. He wanted to go back to his office, but there was still a lot of work that had not been finished.

The night in Tokyo seemed to be unexpectedly quiet. When he returned to the office and looked at the desk calendar on the table, he realized that it had already reached the last day of 1985 before he knew it, and the new year would be in a few hours.

Looking back at 1985, Takahashi felt that he had only done a few small things. Although he had achieved some small achievements, he was still far from what he wanted to achieve.

The revolution has not been successful, and comrades still need to work hard.

Takahashi encouraged himself in his heart.

Looking at the night outside the window, Takahashi picked up his pen and continued to fight on this battlefield made of white paper.
