Chapter 810 Fried Cold Rice

Guided through some special programs in the game, and then entered the underlying operating interface of the system to do whatever you want. This is a fairly common game console cracking routine.
In countless games, especially old games, how could it be considered that they would become an important target for cracking on new game consoles in the future when they were developed.
Suri Electronics has also suffered a lot in this regard.
At first, they also wanted to imitate Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to use a more versatile chip as the processor of the game console, and then they directly moved all the old games to the new game console without any testing, which finally led to Suri Electron's game console was completely cracked within a few months of its release.
In the end, it was only by relying on the new operating system to disable a bunch of old games, and at the same time greatly changing the underlying code and increasing the restrictions on the support of new games on the old system.
But being completely cracked also cost Suri Electronics a lot.
Several third-party game makers whose cooperative relationship was not particularly close also temporarily gave up their cooperative relationship, and finally went to Youxing Electronic Entertainment on their own.
Although Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's game console was inevitably cracked, the impact was much smaller.
Take Yuxing, a foresighted person, thought about these things early on, and stifled these troubles in the cradle in advance.
When Suri Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment competed, this in turn helped Zhuyouxing to expand its advantages.
However, this time, no matter how the engineers of this operating system development test and adjust, it is impossible to find a balance between versatility and system anti-cracking.
Two seems to have to choose one of them.
Either pursue versatility and wait to be cracked wildly, causing serious losses, or take the initiative to close these old games.
Zhu Yuxing asked, "Are there many games like this?"
"There are many."
Hayasawa Airi said: "Takeyou, I think these games should be temporarily abandoned. There may be solutions in the future, but you shouldn't waste too much time on these things. You are not planning to release the switch machine as soon as possible. ?"
To make a choice...
That's why you let yourself come over?
Zhu Youxing looked at the others and asked, "What do you guys think, you can talk about it."
"We... are also more inclined to give up these games temporarily. Once the cracking thing spreads, it will also have a great impact on our reputation. This is much more difficult than the decision made by Izumi's trigger button."
Zhu Yuxing did not give an answer immediately, and these people began to discuss.
Hayasawa Airi asked the person in charge of system development again: "Are you sure that there is no way to completely solve these vulnerabilities?"
He shook his head: "No, the programs of these games themselves are too old, even if our game consoles are very versatile, they still cannot avoid conflicts with each other."
"Then let's change the way of thinking and put these old games in the virtual machine?"
"Virtual machine? That might be a viable approach."
Hayasawa Airi immediately urged: "Then try it quickly."
Several experienced engineers immediately started to rewrite the system of the prototype machine on the spot, adding the functions of the virtual machine to it.
The so-called virtual machine is to run a completely isolated new operating system in the original operating system, which will not destroy the stability of the original operating system, and can also run some independent programs.
Take Yuxing once used virtual machines to do some work such as testing virus attack and stability of large programs.
When he came to this world, he forgot about this thing.
This is actually equivalent to developing a simulator software that is isolated from the current game console system, but this also has a disadvantage.
The virtual machine is not 100% stable.
There is also the possibility of subsequent crashes, and if the virtual machine is completely shut down, it will also cause complete data loss.
These people rewrote the system enthusiastically, and finally successfully installed the virtual machine in the existing operating system.
Then they tried to install the games that had previously confirmed the problem one by one for testing.
"Yes! This method is feasible! No matter how I boot the program in the virtual machine, there is no way to affect the stability of the original system!"
"Great!"
These people were immediately refreshed and felt that they had found a very good solution.
But the person in charge of system development showed a worried expression. In the end, he couldn't help but say: "Well, we can't be too happy, because there are still many problems with the virtual machine."
The happy voices of everyone stopped abruptly, and Airi Hayazawa also looked at each other: "What kind of problem?"
Zhu Yuxing said at this time: "The unstable factors of the virtual machine are not much less than the problem of cracking. For example, a sudden power failure will directly cause a large amount of junk data to be retained in the hard disk. These junk data may also impact the original system. For stability, you must use the most correct shutdown method."
Hayasawa Airi said subconsciously: "Then we can use the manual to clearly instruct the player how to properly shut down?"
Zhu Yuxing said: "Of course it's impossible, you can't expect players to do things according to your requirements. When the game console belongs to them, they will do various operations far beyond our expectations. A sudden power outage is a light thing to do. Yes, popular products must be as simple as possible in operation, or foolish."
"The president is right, the player's operation is unpredictable, and the virtual machine is a professional operation. Even professionals operating the virtual machine may face various troubles, not to mention that it is completely unpredictable. Know the players."
Hayasawa Airi suddenly said in frustration, "Then this method also won't work?"
The hardware and other aspects of the game console are progressing very well now, but there is a big trouble on the system, which is really a headache.
"Actually, it is not necessary to use a virtual machine. Since it is an old game, why can't we make a fuss about the old game?"
"Huh?" Airi Hayazawa let out a puzzled voice, "Do you have any other solution, Takeyou?"
"I also just thought of it, since the old games use the old programming methods, then we should overthrow all of these and develop new old games with the new native system of the game console."
Hayazawa Airi glared at him and said, "Takeyou, do you mean to remake the old game all over again? This is too much work, isn't it?"
"Of course, we don't have to redo everything. We can use a gradual opening method to launch the old games that are sure to be OK first, and then redo the ones that have problems. Step by step, redoing old games will not take too much time. And using a new programming method to make it can also improve the clarity of the original old game.”
is commonly known as fried cold rice.
Zhu Yuxing thought to himself.
