Clones, love them or hate them

Actually it's a render of the Doom/Doom 2 marine soldier running on Quake 3:Arena.

I used to play Quake 3 with that character :smt023 :smt024

 

These Chinese chappies are all very talented at this hacking business. Bung et all come up with some pretty good stuff.

Pity these guys have never put their experience and talent into producing China's own first original home games console.

But they'd never make thier money back on the (original) sotware. Pity. Would have been cool if Bung or someone made their own machine and games.

 

Bung has made the Dr PC Jr computer, pretty damn close to its own machine. Bung isn't like ANY other Chinese company, their techie's knowledge and expertise in computer engineering and their dedication to selling the best in grey-market hardware has really put them far ahead of the competition.

 

You know, I would think, that with their overall ability to circumvent the other guys' anti piracy measures, some chinese companies would probably know how to make a pirate proof system.


...sigh...or close to it...no system is piracy proof, I think...

 

PSP will be quite close to unpiratable, that and IQue.

 

Just my two cents, but why does a system that runs 6-year old game images from what was essentially a SD/MMC (IQue) and released in one of the pirate capitols of the globe not strike me as particularly pirate-proof? :smt017

 

I heard that the system uses public key encryption, not something your average Chinese pirate can RE.

The pirates are infact having a fair bit of trouble cracking the new DirecTV cards. They have been raiding some of the distrubuters and hackers up here, but due to loop-holes it's hard to prosecute them.
