The Challenge
Context: Microsoft wanted to enter the living room.
I worked on the “Duke” controller and the console thermal architecture.
- Power: The Pentium III + NVIDIA NV2A put out heat that no console had ever dealt with before.
- Controller: The original controller was… large. I worked on the break-away cable safety feature to prevent the console from being pulled off the shelf.
