  • Holy cow! This was way more complicated than I ever expected... oh...and did I mention that 3 more rare blue dev disks showed up after my last video!? Thankfully Tony from @Hard4Games flew from Detroit to Seattle to help me discover what is on my mystery blue disk, whether there was anything on the other 3 disks AND backup the firmware of the drive itself! It's an epic tale full of mystery, intrigue and excitement!

    Hey I have some useless insight! Haha. In 1995 I briefly attended (and dropped out) of a videogame development program, partially sponsored by Nintendo at a school called Digipen Institute of Technology, in Vancouver, BC. We had at least one of these development systems. I never got anywhere near to the point of using one, but it required a knowledge of this brutal 'Assembly' programming language (and C++ etc.) to create anything. Founder of the school Claude Comair soon moved the school to Redman, WA, where he also started the Nintendo Software Technology Center. I bet he, or past students/employees of his schools have some of those old blue cartridges with student projects on them kicking around in storage. May be where your development system originated

      It's also illegal to distribute ROM's for free without the copyright owner's permission, so the game downloads on 64dd.org are technically illegal (although Nintendo probably doesn't consider it worthwhile to take legal action)

    @snetmotnosrorb3946 8 лет назад +25

    I think what we see here is the reason it was released so late, and only by mail order in Japan. They were still testing the actual hardware that late in development, which points to that they couldn't get it to be reliable enough.
    The whole point of Project Reality was really a (floppy) cartridge disc drive, but they split the project in two, releasing a regular cartridge machine first and then 2 years later the disc drive, when they could get it to work the way they wanted. But that unfortunately never happened.
    It wasn't just a peripheral, it was the second half of the machine, completing it. When they realized the second half would be late to the party, and possibly never show up at all, they started to rescue as many assets they could that they had created for it, mostly meaning porting games in development for the disc drive to cartridge. The 8MB RAM was an integral part of it. I can't help but wondering what was cut from those games. Where there more and/or larger areas in Zelda OoT? More enemies and characters on screen? Dazzling to think that the greatest game of all time maybe was even greater.

    • @InsidiousOne
      @InsidiousOne 4 года назад +1

      OoT is a great game and a big influence for all the following 3D console action games, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it the greatest game ever. It hasn't aged that well compared to some other games of this era.

  • @stevehealy5810
    @stevehealy5810 8 лет назад +19

    The blue disc being packaged with the only US 64DD makes a lot of sense to me actually. I'm willing to bet it was a prototype that was to be shipped to a partner and the blue disc was the English version of the DEV tool for that partner. I was a bit surprised that the writing wasn't in katakana on the menu that you displayed.

  • @infernohellknight

      Sounds familiar. My elementary school had one(!) 8-bit Videoton TV Computer from around the end of the 80s to teach BASIC programming for entire classes. Then it went bad and was replaced by the teacher's own Commodore Plus/4. Up until 1995, when the school got a few 386 based PCs, which were in use up to the mid 2000s. For millions worth of money!
      One of my classmates was the cool kid for owning a Commodore 64 at home with a few cassette tapes of copied games, well into the late 90s!
      I was bringing tons of floppy disks into a netcafe in the mid 2000s just to download and take home a ~20MB game (splitting the ZIP file into tiny pieces). One always went bad I could screw the entire download.

    Oh!! I live in San Jose, California, and I used to live in Sacramento, California. I had a storage unit in Sacramento, and I remember seeing blue disks VERY similar to those ones. I don't know if my storage unit has been cleared as its been a little while, but I can go check and see if everything is there still. If it's still there and it IS indeed a set of N64DD floppy's, I would be more than willing to mail them over. I think it was a total of 5. I'll let you know! This is exciting!

    • @LuigiBlood

    • @mynameisleave
      @mynameisleave 7 лет назад

    • @LuigiBlood
      @LuigiBlood 7 лет назад +1

      Well not really different parts of data, it's just 5 disks to be used however they want. If they wanted to make a game that uses 2 disks or more they could with those.

    The Nintendo 64 is my life.
    I was born 2002 . In that year my sister became an Nintendo 64 (from neighbours) and she has always played with it. And four years later I played the Nintendo 64 too. Until now. It was our family Tradition to play the Nintendo 64 every Week at least 1 time. I loved it. Now I'm 15 years old and I play the Nintendo 64 until now. I don't want a Playstation and a new television or something like that, what all Teenagers normally want to become. I always bought with my money, all the games. And it was so hard because the games were so expensive. Every birthday and Christmas i wish to became one game. I also wanted to buy the Nintendo 64 dd. But I could NEVER buy me that thing with the games because it's so f****** expensive. I looked in eBay for that thing. it costs $800!! and the other things for the Nintendo 64 disc drive also cost very expensive. I don't want to know how much it will cost when I have the money to buy me the nintendo 64 dd when I'm twenty years old and I go working. Goodbye live!
    Maybe I will never get this thing.
    I also like the Gameboy Pocket.
    the Gameboy Color is also nice but I like the pocket more.

    • @fireface8377
      @fireface8377 5 лет назад +13

      Ok so let me get this straight, at a very young age your sister transformed into a n64. This didn't affect you in any way, instead you started playing with her. You fell in love with the n64 version of her and wished to become a game every birthday and christmas. You wanted to be inside that n64, you wanted to become one with it. So you search ebay, you search and you search in a quest to find a listing that could make your dream of becoming a n64 game a reality. But unfortunately it is too expensive. Now you are planning the future instead; you want to get a job when you are twenty years old and then finally make your transformation into a n64 game, and you will do it live. Is this correct?

      Why? Ben Heck mostly does hardware repair, which there wasn't an issue with.

      he could check what the hardware differences between the different models are

    I stumbled upon the first video and was extremely curious to know what was on that blue disk and more about this hardware. Awesome!
