Today’s hegemonic status quo which ignores the needs and desires of game industry has infused both individuals’ and societies’ “minority” players such as women and “non-gamers,” Who experiences of games with values and norms that reinforce in fact represent the majority of the population. Drawing that industry’s technological, commercial and cultural from the history of pre-digital games, we demonstrate that investments in a particular definition of games and play, these practices have “narrowed the playing field,” and creating a cyclical system of supply and demand in which contrary to conventional wisdom, have actually hindered, alternate products of play are marginalized and devalued.

  • CS4803DGC Design Game Console
    Spring 2011 Prof. Hyesoon Kim • 2nd part of programming platform • Programming with Nintendo DS • http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~hyesoon/spr11/l ab4.html • Installation Guide and Hello world http://www.cosc.brocku.ca/Offerings/3P92/seminars/nintendo_ds_slideshow.pdf • Dual TFT LCD screens • CPUs – ARM 7 TDMI (33MHz) – ARM 9 946E-S (67MHz) • Main memory: 4MB RAM – VRAM: 656 KB • 2D graphics – Up to 4 backgrounds • 3D graphics • Both can be running code at the same time. • ARM 7 is the only CPU that controls the touch screen. – Interrupt based • DevKit Pro is a collection of tool chain for homebrew applications developers for various architectures • DevKitARM: ARM binaries • Not official development tool chain – Much simpler and naïve • libnds – Started with header files for definition – Extended to have other data structures, simple APIs • *.nds – A binary for Nintendo DS, a separate region for ARM7 and ARM9 http://patater.com/files/projects/manual/manual.html#id2612503 int main(void) { consoleDemoInit(); //Initialize the console irqSet(IRQ_VBLANK, Vblank); //this line says: When the IRQ_VBLANK interrupt occurs execute function Vblank iprintf(" Hello DS dev'rs\n"); while(1) { iprintf("\x1b[10;0HFrame = %d",frame); //print out the current frame number swiWaitForVBlank(); //This line basically pauses the while loop and makes it //wait for the IRQ_VBLANK interrupt to occur. This way, we print only once //per frame. } return 0; } • ARM assembly code – Up: OR operation Down: AND operation start: Reset to default values A: Exclusive OR operation B: AND NOT (BIC) operation Left: left shift by #1 Right: right shift by #1 No need to use interrupt, use a polling method • Instead of pure assembly coding, we will use inline assembly programming • Not only ARM, x86 etc.
