rustyjaw Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Are these representative of physical dimensions or the number of pixels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Actual physical dimensions. I printed it, cut out the GBA screen, and it was a perfect match to my actual system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failsafe Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Stupid Question of the Day: What is the GBN? Is that the original Gameboy? Feel free to mock me after giving me the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to mock me after giving me the answer. Okay, dumbass. Whatever you say. :green: Seriously though, I don't know what the GBN is, but I sincerely doubt it's the original GameBoy. I no longer have my GB from back in the day, but I do know that it was never that big. Secondly, I can't believe how big the PSP screen is! One nice thing about this comparison is that you can get a relative idea for how big the unit may be. Going off of the various pictures on the Net, you can begin to understand where the various buttons may fall and how they might feel. I was particularly concerned about the positioning of the analog stick, but now I'm beginning to think that it may be quite comfortable after all. This is all obviously a poor substitute for holding one in my hand for real, but it will have to do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to dig out my old GB to see, but I seriously doubt that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm pretty sure that GBN is Gameboy Next, the successor to the DS. Why they are even talking publicly about such a thing at this point is beyond me. I'm also sure that screen size and any other attribute is subject to change.

I have seen GCN in relation to Game Cube Nintendo I have a theroy, and no it's not bunnies, That it could be GBN = Game Boy Nintendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I was under the impression GBN was 'Game Boy Nintendo' like the abbreviation for Game Cube is GCN. It's that silly out-of-order abbreviation that, for whatever reason, has stuck. That said, the screen size in that image is too big for any varients of the original Game Boy.

Beer Monkey Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 It turns out that the screen size for the PSP in that image was way too large. A PSP dev told me that it was smaller than that, so I checked. When I printed it, even though the GBA screen fit my console perfectly when I cut it out and overlayed it, the PSP screen was printing as 5.75" diagonally. It's actually 4.3" diagonally, which means it was overrepresented by 81% surface area! I've made my own updated diagram, not sure if it will print right but it should at least show a fairly accurate relative comparison. click here Based on my latest calculations, the PSP screen is about 96 % larger than the GBA screen, and about 67% larger than one of the DS screens (surface area).

No more so than the fact that the NGage screen is massively over-large and the wrong aspect ratio, so don't worry. I did an A-B at launch, and the NGage screen was exactly what you get if you were to cut a GBA screen in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Monkey Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Well, they were wrong on the PSP screen, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were wrong on the NGauge screen. The only one I can vouch for myself is the GBA, which is dead on accurate, at least when printed at actual size on my laserjet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
