  2. Neo Kobe - NEC PC-9801 (2017-11-17)
    
    === Overview === By 1982, NEC was already a veteran of the personal computer business, having released three different computer series (the PC-8001, the PC-6001, and the PC-8801) to cater to different types of consumers. This strategy had been spearheaded by the Electronic Devices Business Group within the company, and they were enjoying the fruits of their success. But there were no such happy times in another NEC division called the Information Processing Business Group. Even though this group had been successfully selling mainframes and minicomputers to large corporations for nearly a decade, all of that was about to change. On the 12th of August, 1981, IBM released the first IBM Personal Computer, the 5150. NEC knew exactly what the 5150 represented. They recognized that the future of business computing would be personal: an entire computer for each worker. They also recognized that unless they delivered a personal computing solution of their own, Japanese businesses would turn to Big Blue. So the Information Processing Business Group got to work, and in just over a year they unveiled their answer: the PC-9801, a 16-bit computer powered by NEC's in-house version of the Intel 8086 processor. Besides having special hardware to handle the complexities of Japanese text, the PC-9801 boasted several improvements over the IBM 5150, such as a true 16-bit data bus, and graphics output at a resolution of 640x400 with 8 fixed colors, significantly better than the IBM PC's CGA standard. The Big Blue threat was averted, and within a few short years, the PC-9801 became the standard business computer in Japan. Whereas NEC's earlier computers were aimed at electronics tinkerers, young students, and even families, the PC-9801 was all business. It was boring. But it got the job done, and that meant the PC-9801 worked its way into not only every white-collar office in Japan, but also onto factory floors and into science labs. Even NEC's own PC-100, a fascinating and forward-thinking machine designed by the Electronic Devices Business Group, was cast aside in the wake of the PC-9801's success. For the PC-9801, games were only an afterthought. But businessmen tend to take their work home with them, and over time, the PC-9801 gradually became a fixture in many households. The PC-9801 received a steady drip of games right from the beginning, but most of these early titles were straight ports from 8-bit computers. The PC-9801 took its first big step forward as a game platform with the release of the PC-9801VF/VM models in late 1985. The CPU was upgraded to NEC's V30 chip running at 10MHz. A new graphics board allowed for 640x400 with 16 colors out of a palette of 4096, once again edging out IBM's then-current EGA standard, which only offered 640x350 with 16 colors from a palette of 64. Additionally, an optional sound board provided FM synthesis with Yamaha's YM2203 (OPN) chip, as well as joystick ports. In this way, NEC kept the platform relevant by releasing as many as a dozen new models every year, ranging from desktops and laptops to hi-res CAD machines and factory control computers. But even with these improvements, the PC-9801 didn't shake its original shirt-and-tie identity and come into its own as an entertainment machine until after the release of the last PC-8801 model at the end of 1989. One of the biggest upgrades occurred at the end of 1992, when NEC released the first of a new multimedia-focused series called the PC-9821. This new lineup featured a built-in CD-ROM drive, an upgraded FM synthesis chip, and a new graphics subsystem capable of 640x480 with 256 colors, although most games continued to stick with the already-established 640x400 with 16 colors. When compared against its contemporary 16-bit rivals from Sharp and Fujitsu, the NEC PC-9801 was no match for the audiovisual capabilities of the X68000 and the FM Towns, but what it did have was a giant userbase and a relentless march of incrementally better models. The PC-9801 game library exploded in the early 1990s, and even after Windows 95 ultimately united the computing world, the PC-9800 series remained a major force in the Japanese computer market until the end of the millenium. === Running software === The PC-9801 included NEC's version of BASIC on floppy disks and an internal ROM chip, but the primary operating systems were localized versions of Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows. All of the basic DOS commands are the same, and anyone who is familiar with a 1990s-era IBM PC-compatible computer will quickly feel at home on the PC-9801. However, there is one key difference to keep in mind: drive letters are assigned according to the boot device. If you boot from a floppy disk, the floppy drives become drives A: and B:, while the hard disk drive becomes C:. Conversely, if you boot from the hard disk, the hard disk becomes A:, while the floppy drives become B: and C:. Most games can be fully controlled with a two-button mouse or joystick. On the keyboard, movement is almost always numpad 4,6,2,8 or the cursor keys. The buttons are usually some combination of Enter, Spacebar, Shift, Esc, Tab, and ZXCV.

  For real though, you just know some faggots made it their grift to "teach" publishers that this was the only correct, marketable way to design a UI and they all fell for it
  For me, the balance of functionality and pleasing aesthetics in UI peaked with the 6th gen (PS2, GCN, Xbax)

  @LittleTom It's crazy how much quickly the SJW cancer spread over at Spike Chunsoft. Danganronpa v3 came out in 2017, and the worst political shit there were two throwaway Trump jokes that never mention his name and that don't even feel that mean-spirited. AI: The Somnium Files came out in 2019, features blatant LGBTP propaganda speeches, a tranny character, a somewhat major character who's gay (and who apparently openly hates conservatives) and another notable character who's a closeted homosexual.
  
  And worst of all, the main character is a footfag 🤮
  
  And of course the sequel is even worse in this regard (the SJW bullshit, dunno about the footfaggotry).

  @PhenomX6 @Arkana @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 dude halo reach is one of the best games ever made. my point is that not all multiplayer games are bad. as for the UI part, there are outliners of course but for the most part its all the same with different coloring and texture. but as for how it actually works is a different story. like diablo and having a slot for each separate piece of armor.
  
  to me last least lately it just feels all such the same. like no one is trying anything new.
  
  but I am also a hardcore doomer about gaming. I have 0 hope for gaming to ever return to what it was.

  @PhenomX6 @CentaurBreeder @Arkana @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 I did some MS-DOS game/graphics programming. I'm not nostalgic for it. I'd rather use modern lightweight stuff but try to emulate the look and feel of your PC-98 stuff by sticking to certain palettes or resolutions or whatever and then breaking those boundaries here and there very sparingly for shock value. Think of what shenis aficionados Everdraed and Toby Fox were going for when big bad evil flowey showed up

  The PC-98 doesn't use VGA though, it's more like a home computer graphics programming wise. There's two identical video chips (one for graphics one for text) and then you have a chip that can manipulate the display memory and whatnot of the graphics chip. Yes, PC-98s have a blitter.

  @PhenomX6 @CentaurBreeder @Arkana @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 Are you hardcore enough to do legit PC-98 homebrew that would work on vintage hardware or just stick to certain resolutions and palettes

  I'd probably wind up using a DOS extender or similar tbh. I don't have much interest in coding for the V30/286 generation.

  @YTFoidLover1488 @CentaurBreeder @Arkana @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 also I might mess around with gamedev for some other platforms too that are newer and easier to do as well. Especially for games first. I'm not gonna just make one game etc

  I've been getting into older computer games as of late, along with some more obscure console games (especially ones with underrated character design).

  @LittleTom Tbh Japanese stuff often has hippie kinds of messages ("nature good, humans evil," "all people are equal") going back decades. I always chock it up to the kind of naivete that comes from someone who lives in an area where they don't have to experience the true evils of liberalism, which for Japan is anywhere away from a military base.

  @PhenomX6 @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 90s anime art style is kino. But I don't know Japanese, and those games run on their own computers, so no go for me.

  You can emulate them with NP21w, and more and more got fan translations in the past few years.

  @PhenomX6 @LittleTom @turncoattradition @RehnSturm256 New skill unlocked.Thanks, I'll need to take a good look at that; but I'd like to play those old games. I'm new to that and I might end up playing garbage just because of the art style. That's how I judge whether to watch an anime, anyway. :0380:

  2. Neo Kobe - NEC PC-9801 (2017-11-17)
    
    === Overview === By 1982, NEC was already a veteran of the personal computer business, having released three different computer series (the PC-8001, the PC-6001, and the PC-8801) to cater to different types of consumers. This strategy had been spearheaded by the Electronic Devices Business Group within the company, and they were enjoying the fruits of their success. But there were no such happy times in another NEC division called the Information Processing Business Group. Even though this group had been successfully selling mainframes and minicomputers to large corporations for nearly a decade, all of that was about to change. On the 12th of August, 1981, IBM released the first IBM Personal Computer, the 5150. NEC knew exactly what the 5150 represented. They recognized that the future of business computing would be personal: an entire computer for each worker. They also recognized that unless they delivered a personal computing solution of their own, Japanese businesses would turn to Big Blue. So the Information Processing Business Group got to work, and in just over a year they unveiled their answer: the PC-9801, a 16-bit computer powered by NEC's in-house version of the Intel 8086 processor. Besides having special hardware to handle the complexities of Japanese text, the PC-9801 boasted several improvements over the IBM 5150, such as a true 16-bit data bus, and graphics output at a resolution of 640x400 with 8 fixed colors, significantly better than the IBM PC's CGA standard. The Big Blue threat was averted, and within a few short years, the PC-9801 became the standard business computer in Japan. Whereas NEC's earlier computers were aimed at electronics tinkerers, young students, and even families, the PC-9801 was all business. It was boring. But it got the job done, and that meant the PC-9801 worked its way into not only every white-collar office in Japan, but also onto factory floors and into science labs. Even NEC's own PC-100, a fascinating and forward-thinking machine designed by the Electronic Devices Business Group, was cast aside in the wake of the PC-9801's success. For the PC-9801, games were only an afterthought. But businessmen tend to take their work home with them, and over time, the PC-9801 gradually became a fixture in many households. The PC-9801 received a steady drip of games right from the beginning, but most of these early titles were straight ports from 8-bit computers. The PC-9801 took its first big step forward as a game platform with the release of the PC-9801VF/VM models in late 1985. The CPU was upgraded to NEC's V30 chip running at 10MHz. A new graphics board allowed for 640x400 with 16 colors out of a palette of 4096, once again edging out IBM's then-current EGA standard, which only offered 640x350 with 16 colors from a palette of 64. Additionally, an optional sound board provided FM synthesis with Yamaha's YM2203 (OPN) chip, as well as joystick ports. In this way, NEC kept the platform relevant by releasing as many as a dozen new models every year, ranging from desktops and laptops to hi-res CAD machines and factory control computers. But even with these improvements, the PC-9801 didn't shake its original shirt-and-tie identity and come into its own as an entertainment machine until after the release of the last PC-8801 model at the end of 1989. One of the biggest upgrades occurred at the end of 1992, when NEC released the first of a new multimedia-focused series called the PC-9821. This new lineup featured a built-in CD-ROM drive, an upgraded FM synthesis chip, and a new graphics subsystem capable of 640x480 with 256 colors, although most games continued to stick with the already-established 640x400 with 16 colors. When compared against its contemporary 16-bit rivals from Sharp and Fujitsu, the NEC PC-9801 was no match for the audiovisual capabilities of the X68000 and the FM Towns, but what it did have was a giant userbase and a relentless march of incrementally better models. The PC-9801 game library exploded in the early 1990s, and even after Windows 95 ultimately united the computing world, the PC-9800 series remained a major force in the Japanese computer market until the end of the millenium. === Running software === The PC-9801 included NEC's version of BASIC on floppy disks and an internal ROM chip, but the primary operating systems were localized versions of Microsoft MS-DOS and Windows. All of the basic DOS commands are the same, and anyone who is familiar with a 1990s-era IBM PC-compatible computer will quickly feel at home on the PC-9801. However, there is one key difference to keep in mind: drive letters are assigned according to the boot device. If you boot from a floppy disk, the floppy drives become drives A: and B:, while the hard disk drive becomes C:. Conversely, if you boot from the hard disk, the hard disk becomes A:, while the floppy drives become B: and C:. Most games can be fully controlled with a two-button mouse or joystick. On the keyboard, movement is almost always numpad 4,6,2,8 or the cursor keys. The buttons are usually some combination of Enter, Spacebar, Shift, Esc, Tab, and ZXCV.
