Scrapped System BIOS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2020
- Now that I'm here too, I can show off some cool stuff from my personal collection. Here's an unused system menu that went pretty far into development for the N64, using lots of features not present in the retail N64 like an internal clock, save management, and a system that automatically applied settings to the user. At this point the console's shell looked mostly the same, but the interior was much different.

Why do I feel nostalgia towards a menu that never even existed
Gamecube, but not scary and weird.
Dreamcast vibe maybe ?
it's very inspired by the dreamcast bios
probably just reminds you of stuff from that time
It reminds me of the wii and the dreamcast
The Super Mario 64 Beta Archive channel will only be active for a limited time, and will become inactive after the end of March 2021.
ok... wait... i know what you're talking about
How do you know
fuck you
hMMMm.
@@theextremeanimator4721 Its a refrence to the mario remasters, which will only be avalible to purchase until March 2021 because nintendo is stupid.
God that BIOS is ridiculously well made, this is above Nintendo quality.
It looks like the Wii U bios wth
Edit: I mean gamecube bios. What the hec
What else would you expect from Argonaut?
Looks more like Dreamcast to me.
RR railroad above Nintendo quality? a calendary and data copy? mmmm alright
It gives me kind of a Dreamcast vibe
This is sick as hell, feels exactly like the dreamcast's internal BIOS.

@Scratchy a lot of people have different experiences
"Position your hand on the controller"
"Do not turn the console off, or let go of the controller"
"a system that automatically applied settings to the user"
"the console's shell looked mostly the same, but the interior was much different"
... Well no wonder I felt so uneased...
LegoVideosRock I wonder what would happen if there was a power outage or you let go. Would it just give you a error?
@@izzyint Probably, itll probably have to reset itself so it doesnt risk using outdated "data"
"using the controller _and the player together"_
It's not just the copies. _It's the consoles themselves that were personalized._
@@steveluvscows2490 every human is different so it uses that to personalize gaming
"in the case of a power outage during a personalization session, to reduce the risk of seizure and/or death from disconnect of the consoles reading feature (more on page 59) if the system detects a sudden dip in power it will immediately stop all operations"
This BIOS feels like a nice cross between the Dreamcast and Gamecube's BIOSes. It also feels like an appropriate evolutionary step down from Gamecube's BIOS.

Oh man, the way the logo turns red after the “Game Sync” is so cool. I love subtle details like that.
Cool
this has such a well defined foreboding atmosphere like petscop. especially when there's error screens; they give me such a feeling of existential dread :)
in fact they even added a calendar, which is such a prominent thing in Petscop. also the debug info in system menu, the small yet very vicious tidbit ("using the controller and the player together")... the creators def took some pages from that series.

This looks... Pretty modern all things considered. Even used the loading icon from the 3DS I think, the square loading icon....
Also
>After the Game Sync is done the logo went from blue to red
The thing is... did it use the loading icon from the 3DS or did the 3DS use the loading icon from this? 🤔
@@entropy-cat Big Brain Boi
@@entropy-cat wasnt it the wii icon (the one where it loads the sd card and stuff, not wii shop)

the nintendo logo was personalized to how you remember it.
No one's gonna talk about the cut off explanation about the "incident" on the boot menu?
"...SNES game that was cancelled."
Miyamoto killed all of Argonauts staff
... I literally just commented about that
The incident with that one drawing of Mario and Sonic doing inapropriate things in the shower being accidentaly emailed to argonaut's staff.
skall Wtf happened
This looks WAY WAY too nintendoy, Might as well stop guessing and start believing you're ACTUALLY a nintendo employee.
The game sync gives off a lot of personalzation vibes though :o
It looks more akin to Wii Homebrew applications like M64 lol
The "Game sync" is the connection for the brainwaves with the personalized system.
@channel10 Uhh.. what? Sorry but wtf are you talking about? Do you at least know what is the "game sync" and the "mario 64 is personalized" stuff is this channel about, right??
@channel10 Stop it. Get some help.

Galaxy 2 was too personalized to be in the new game
Galaxy 2 never existed. You just got a very unique personalized copy of super mario galaxy.
O_O
@Cilantro Mcghee ........
Every copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars is personalized.
Galaxy 2 is not in the 3D all-stars collection, am I right.
Laugh now.
So now we have an official term for Personalization: "Game Sync" or "Synched".
Synced. Not synched.
"Game Sync used to be called fun value additive but after the alpha testers started calling it Game Sync, the name stuck (more on page 34)".
@Alexandra Poblador nobody has ever complimented my writing before i started making these, I've only been told how to improve it, I never really have seen how good I am lol
It makes so much sense.
This is real. Too real. Cmon, wheres the "THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT" formula back when these Mario 64 things started a few months back?
Amazing vids, i like the actual realism and time taken into these videos
minecraft splash screen has THEN A SKELETON POPPED OUT
It’s probably real because it’s LITERALLY THE DREAMCAST BIOS
**coin sound** YEAH!
Didn't know Rayman worked for Nintendo
*YEH!*
YE
Yahaa!
Y e s
I actually thought this was real lol
also I like how it freezes during the game sync. It makes it feel more realistic.
Yep
This looks like it could've been an actual Nintendo 64 menu!
I wish it was
Then you could've left it on the menu before you were about to insert a cartridge. It could've had wired and wireless internet for netplay and an internet browser like a dreamcast. Only the dreamcast didn't have wireless internet so you'd only hook it up to a phone or modem. It would've also had a download and chat service that would still be open to this day. Making it the first ever console to have those features.
I Guess in an Qlternate Timeline, the N64 would've Supported Wide-screen
Nah, too modern
Looks like a dreamcast one
Lol I love that its Argonaut that’s responsible for the BIOS considering the narrative is how nintendo screwed them over a bit
Nice little detail there
nope this is real
*PROGRAMMED WITH PRIDE BY ARGONAUT SOFTWARE*
this is literally the technology they mention in the original "every copy is personalized" copy pasta. the player places their thumb on the control stick and the system collects data with the "game sync"
when mario 64 is booted up again, the opening logo changes from blue to red, to match the players favorite colour.
that's just... so cool
would that mean that my nintendo logo would of been green?
Its a shame Mario Party 1 ended up wrecking such an important part of the apparatus then.
@@Pokycraftgamer9 Exactly, the Game sync system analizes yout brainwaves and do the changes to the console regarding what you see and think of the game, that why the tower GUI mocap went wrong, the game sync was getting mess up by the negative emotions and drepression from the player.
@@Pokycraftgamer9 no it'd be brown for you
@@headhazed7479 why?
I always dreamed of a start menu like that for the Nintendo 64.
Argonaut working on this game with us is important ever since that one incident happened with that one
**text cuts off**
Oh no, they can't be doing it.
Doing what?
SquadalaGuy a wario apparition vid
TCDoraemon it’s that point in the timeline
Isaiah Angnakak hmm, ok
scrubthispie STOP IT
My theory is that the Game Sync was the experimental AI and was what made the game personalized in the first place. Spooky
@@danielchannel8801 you could also probably turn off games gamesync at any time to play the stock game
@@gavinisdie Probably can't, since the console errored out without game sync data. That's why the person in the tape rebooted the console and set it up
I don’t think that’s a theory that’s just what it’s exactly implying.
N64:Uh-oh! I can't read my settings ! Now I'm gonna play the SM64 Game Over Audio.
I mean I guess for Nintendo standards, it shouldn't be too hard to redirect you to a screen that plays that sound from an aleged built in library.
One thing that makes this eerie for me is that the screen freezes as the console processes the game sync information
It’s like it’s creating a personalized experience based off of the player or something…
@@FunkyFurret I dunno if this is meant to be sarcasm or something but also yeah the series really did just take the personalization idea and ran with it
Ever since the influx of "every mario is personalized" videos, it got boring real quick, but I think there's something very special with this channel =)
This is seriously high-effort stuff. I can't believe how authentically Nintendo it all looks and feels. You guys have real talent.
Well, now we know that Argonaut was definitely more involved with more than just the games, and they're pretty prideful about it too. The whole Game Synchronization that has been shown is quite the technological feat, especially considering that some of these menu assets seemed to go used on things like the 64DD to a certain extent.
The fact that they show the Nintendo logo changing from blue to red shows that this tech, even after many years, is still functional and capable of synchronization with players. This ties back to what we see with Eric and the testing video. The game synchro literally can change things subtly, even text that was written by devs may seem different.
By using this particular video, we can at least piece together a lot of the other unnatural content we've seen in some of the others. It's not seemingly malicious, but rather is the work of a prideful company that went way out of control. I can only hope that what we see next from Meg is a more in depth look at this sort of technology
EDIT: Also, the cut off text seems to be hiding something pretty important. People are saying it's the Wario Apparition but I actually think it's something else entirely, perhaps the Yoshi Game? Either way, whilst we may have some answers ,more questions are being brought up in their place.
Tbh I think that the Wario Apparition is inevitable to happen at some point but not this soon. But I do think that the "incident" may not only involve the Wario Apparition but majority of the Iceberg such as The Internal Castle Plexus and the cancelled Super Mario 64 Sequel.
If they do show the Wario Apparition (which they most likely will) I think they might portray the Wario Apparition like an actual boss than a creepy thing, judging how this series works, but will go completely out of hand.
@@tyrell7693 Well we've already seen the plexus in the Beta Castle Grounds video, or at least we've had it be implied. For the most part I think the 'iceberg' is only going to be implied and not directly shown like in Greenio's tapes.
To be honest, the Wario Apparition would be kind of a cop-out way of adding the iceberg, hence why the Argonaut stuff and the whole tech side of this is much more interesting
@@mistahad3451 This video, even in universe, isn't actually a case of the beta console being "dug up and still functioning".
Look at the date on the system. October 24 (Tuesday). What years have October 24th on a Tuesday? Well, there's 2017....
And, more importantly, 1995.
The incident could also be referring to Nintendo suddenly canceling Star Fox 2 despite Argonaut having the whole game already done
Former Nintendo employee hear to elaborate on this a bit, this menu was in the system boot memory until about 4 months before release, Argonaut had a huge fallout with Nintendo behind the scenes, leading to this menu being scrapped. Ironically, Argonaut later sold this menu to Sega for use in the Dreamcast a few years later, all though it had been heavily modified from its original N64 version. Game Sync was some thing where you could kind of personalize your N64, it was based of how you used the joy stick, thus why you had to put your thumb on it for setup. The controller would change stick tightness and stuff like that for the best game experience.
Hopefully Nintendo won't take this down.
Even the Japanese is really good. Japanese manuals usually write "Nintendo" in all capitals, and when they refer you to another manual usually write ご覧ください (please take a look at) rather than 確認してください (please check). But either way works. Really fantastic work on this.
"game sync"
ah yes the lowkey unsettling part i was waiting
Probably if selected games can after activating it, hed be given an option to turn it off
I like where you're taking the whole "every copy is personalized" thing, and actually trying to explain how that could work. So far I'm theorizing that the "game sync" is an experimental AI that would somehow customize your experience by scanning your body, but they gave up on the idea because of some unknown, possibly sinister reason. Maybe it was just too ambitious for the time, but maybe there was something more to it...
In the wing cap tower menu video it shows more of his version of the "personalization software" made by argonaut
@SamumaS I just meant like maybe your vital signs and brain waves lol, kinda like a lie detector.
I really admire how this channel has strayed from the usual SM64 iceberg cliches like the wario apparition and whatnot and chosen to create its own story out of the personalization and Argonaut sections of it, like they threw darts at a picture of the iceberg and decided to make the plot out of whatever they hit, and they’re doing a damn good job of it. I absolutely adore this, keep up the good work.
i love the AU-style story this channel is telling, along with the really well-made visuals
please keep this up i love it
this reminds me of what they did for the wii... interesting find, meg!
Things to take note (VERY LONG COMMENT):
-The Nintendo logo changes blue to red after the game sync.
-In the description, Eric mentions that the Ultra64 was exactly the same as the N64 from outside, but really different from inside.
-There was an incident associated with an error with the "Save pack", I dont know what that is (I didn't have a N64), that memo was made maybe by Dan.
-In the recent instruction video, mentions how not to scrape the exterior plastic, also remove carefully the power button (I don't know why is that "important" for the playtesting)
-In that same video, mentions that the playtester need to stop playing if suffers deja vu, sickness or if the game display the tester's name (that's creepy).
-In this BIOS has the date 24/10/95 , and the Spaceworld (or the Shoshinkai event) was in 22 to 24 of November of the same year. I think the N64 from this video is one of the few copies of the Ultra 64 from the Spaceworld, but I still don't know if this video was recorded that year, or Eric turn on the console this year.
-Lastly, it says this BIOS is made by Argonaut (the creators of the SFX chip used in the first Starfox and Yoshi's Island, both SNES games). There was a rumor where Argonaut were the creators of SM64, but Nintendo stole the concept (or maybe the entire game), and made changes from it. Maybe this channel is based on that idea.
I'm not good at english, but I want to support with information too.
Seriously, this could have been a brilliant BIOS menu instead of the usual "going straight to the game" thing that most consoles do.
all creepiness aside, the loading sound at 1:25 is actually pretty sick :P
> and a system that automatically applied settings for the user
Spooky!
Must've been the personalization tech
It's to try to make games the ultimate games for everyone
EVERY COPY OF NINTENDO 64 IS PERSONALISED
"the game sync feature seemed normal for those who worked with the console however testers outside of headquarters found it creepy, we decided to keep it the same for now.".
That idea was stolen from the Dreamcast
I love how some of these videos are just genuinely well made videos that seem like they’d be from the beta and others have a creepy twist, like it’s always got you on your feet
Man this feels so high quality and authentic, I'm just speechless, I love it!!
Thanks Meg for helping Eric, honestly, I didn’t think you’re relationship in finding these unused items would go that far. But hey, expect the unexpected
Scary part is that this could potentially be a thing in the future.
?
What do you mean by this?

@RmxKing x52x dababy
More specifically Sony has recently filed a patent for a technology that can tell who is playing the system based on how they hold the controller.
1:56 YEH-
LET’S A GOOOOO!!!! This is what I’ve been waiting for! I really can’t express enough how much I needed to see this. I’m personally impressed with how much content we’re getting. Although I am slightly confused. I’ve never seen the BIOS before!
Wish you luck on more things dude! This is awesome. It’s so realistic. I mean , something someone would see on a BIOS or an really old beta cartridge! Or , maybe even an beta N64 model for testers to use.
The fact you have to keep your hand on the controller for "Game Sync" and the fact the system freezes up for a second while it's happening for a little bit too long is a nice unnerving touch.
よくこんなそれっぽい画質で作れるよね笑
おひさま発見！
Hi guys?
I like how cryptic all these models are, and how close they are to something you'd see at Nintendo
Very well done, keep up the good work
Too much effort was put into this, I love it.
How did they make "or let go of the controller" so damn unnerving
it's a shame that this whole thing is over, i'd have loved to see a video focusing more on the n64 itself
So far I like how you being so creative of these
Man I kinda wish the N64 actually had a proper BIOS like that now. Super cool, and props to you for how well made it is.
this channel is really neat, 10/10
damn. looks like a predecessor to the GC UI!
This channel is so mysterious and if these are fake there really good at making the slightly uneasy feeling without just making it creepy. Like when the music stops and everything freezes up
Love this Meg, thanks for sharing! Would have been cool to have this on retail though, kinda reminds me of ps2/gamecube bios
This made me feel incredibly uneased and I don’t know why.
So basically, the N64 would have you hold the controller so it could personalize the games to you?
That actually makes sense and I love it.
I was seriously fooled there for a moment. Incredible work to make it look like it's running on real N64 hardware.
This looks SO WELL DONE OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT
It’s not deliberately spooky with jump scares and shit. I feel like it’s creeping up on you, and that can be hard to pull off well. Everything should be fine, but something is a bit.......o f f.
I know what you mean with the more subtle less "creepy pasta-y" storytelling but only a bit off? The dang console is reading your data now!
Dont say shit.
Super Braylon oops, it’s not family friendly
@@samuelthehobo4441 are you talking about me or the bad word?
Super Braylon the bad word
This is like a cross between the Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Wii menus
This has too much of a "2000s" feel to be for the N64.
To be honest, it's slightly similar to the PS1, and don't forget the N64 was 64-Bit. It was the most powerful console for its generation yet they ruined it by using a three-grip controller and by using cartridges.
i like that ambience/music for the system menu
This is really getting interesting
this is really, really well done-the only issue i have with this is that game pak storage is referred to as "blocks" instead of "pages"
As a reference to the Wii and 3DS
0:15 this definitely would’ve scared me as a child, like the ps2 red screen of death
It feels a lot newer than the N64 but is insanely cool! Good job on making it so cool!
dude i would love to love in a world where the n64 had a system bios like this
*BIOS
shush
1:26 That loading symbol was used on a lot of systems after the N64 Beta. DS WiFi, 3DS System Updates, WiiU, Wii Internet Settings, 3DS Internet Browser, etc. Crazy how this would have been the first time seeing it had the N64 used this BIOS.
God I haven't slept all night and now I'm watching this. My legs are getting ready to run away any second
Very cool and snazzy-looking bios menu
Dear God it's spreading from outside of Ultra 64 Mario Bros and onto the Ultra 64 it's self
...I feel like that first error screen with the sm64 gameover music would've scared the shit out of me as a kid...
yea same
Somehow you made something more nostalgic then the wii menu and I wasn’t even born in the 90’s or seen this vid before.
Super cool to see all these hidden secrets that see the light of day decades after the console is released.
1:34 I was expecting the crash handler screen when the N64 logo stopped moving
This is suspiciously similar to the wii’s menu, with the background music, the pointer thing, the general aesthetic.
More like the dreamcasts
@@musteycraft9854 eh, i guess..
Yo, this looks really well done!
NGL that 'BIOS' really gives me Dreamcast BIOS vibes and I love that.

Missed opportunity to use the N64DD start-up to make this more convincing.
These types of videos freak me out at night.
this is professionally done really well I wish it turns out that all these video are actual unreleased media of Mario64
This actually fits if an N64 had it's own Menu ^^
The moment when you watch a video about Wrong N64 logos and notice that the first one featured in this had a green underside instead of a blue one
I love the sound effects and music.
The Nintendo scrapped bios looks like the sega dream cast bios

This entirely fake tho lmao
