  • The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde
    Loading… The Journal of the Canadian Game Studies Association Vol 6(9): 82-99 http://loading.gamestudies.ca The Dreamcast, Console of the Avant-Garde Nick Montfort Mia Consalvo Massachusetts Institute of Technology Concordia University nickm@nickm.com mia.consalvo@concordia.ca Abstract We argue that the Dreamcast hosted a remarkable amount of videogame development that went beyond the odd and unusual and is interesting when considered as avant-garde. After characterizing the avant-garde, we investigate reasons that Sega's position within the industry and their policies may have facilitated development that expressed itself in this way and was received by gamers using terms that are associated with avant-garde work. We describe five Dreamcast games (Jet Grind Radio, Space Channel 5, Rez, Seaman, and SGGG) and explain how the advances made by these industrially productions are related to the 20th century avant- garde's lesser advances in the arts. We conclude by considering the contributions to gaming that were made on the Dreamcast and the areas of inquiry that remain to be explored by console videogame developers today. Author Keywords Aesthetics; art; avant-garde; commerce; console games; Dreamcast; game studios; platforms; politics; Sega; Tetsuya Mizuguchi Introduction A platform can facilitate new types of videogame development and can expand the concept of videogaming. The Dreamcast, however brief its commercial life, was a platform that allowed for such work to happen and that accomplished this. It is not just that there were a large number of weird or unusual games developed during the short commercial life of this platform. We argue, rather, that avant-garde videogame development happened on the Dreamcast, even though this development occurred in industrial rather than "indie" or art contexts.

The history of Nintendo: the company, consoles and games Introduction A handful of the most popular video games from Mario to The Legend of Zelda, and video game consoles from the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Nintendo Switch, were all created and developed by the same company. That company is Nintendo. From its beginning, Nintendo was not a video gaming company. Since the company’s first launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, to the present day of the latest release of the Nintendo Switch from 2017, they have sold over 5 billion video games and over 779 million hardware units globally, according to Nintendo UK (Nintendo UK). As Nintendo continues to release new video games and consoles, they have become one of the top gaming companies, competing alongside Sony and Microsoft.

Chapter 19 FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF XBOX CONSOLES Paul Burke and Philip Craiger Abstract Microsoft’s Xbox game console can be modified to run additional oper- ating systems, enabling it to store gigabytes of non-game related files and run various computer services. Little has been published, however, on procedures for determining whether or not an Xbox console has been modified, for creating a forensic duplicate, and for conducting a foren- sic investigation. Given the growing popularity of Xbox systems, it is important to understand how to identify, image and examine these de- vices while reducing the potential of corrupting the media. This paper discusses Xbox forensics and provides a set of forensically-sound proce- dures for analyzing Xbox consoles. Keywords: Xbox consoles, forensic analysis 1. Introduction The fine line between personal computers and video game consoles was blurred with the November 15, 2001 release of Microsoft’s Xbox gam- ing system. Hobbyists have expanded the uses of the Xbox by loading the Linux operating system, functionally transforming it into a low-end personal computer.

It was my first stationary gaming device and I still appreciate it, because a lot of good games like Zelda: The WindWaker and the best version of Resident Evil 4 have their homes on this platform. The unit disassembled in this teardown is a PAL one. That's it. Enjoy the teardown!

And the most tricky fact of these screws is their type because this is not a reasonable standard screw. Step 2 The four screws I'm talking about are a compound of a flat plate with a thicker convex layer with six notches in the brass. This screw is a 4.5 mm line head screw, commonly known as a "Gamebit" screw.
