@NigkonUniverse Check EBay or check the forums at assemblergames(dot)com.
SCSI is pronounced "Skuzzy"
This Ramon Guy has to be sooo awesome for giving you this Dreamcast stuff
That really depends on where you are and where you buy it from.
I've got some for free, I got one for 42 cents, I got one for $4, but I've also paid top dollar for one reason or another.
If you're in the States you'll have an easier time tracking one down for less.
@Lythinca Mine are not as I said in the video, But at the time I write this, there is one for sale on EBay.
I'm desperately trying to find info on "Ecco the Dolphin 2: Sentinels Of The Universe". There was an ebay auction of a Katana with some of it on it like ten years ago and thats all the info i could find. I have found some old forum links to media fire file of source code but all the links are dead. if you have any info or advice please let me know. thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Adam great video as always keep up the good work
Whoo! Nother Dreamcast vid! Keep em coming!
Katana was the Dreamcast's code name. The Katana version was made before the Dreamcast was released.
The hand man....that hand........
In all seriousness awesome that you got another Dev. Kit. Seems that if you had the ability you could make and program games for DC.
awesome video, pretty cool how people helped you fix it
BRING HOPE TO HUMANITY
2012!!!
The Katana version is earlier, before Sega came up with the Dreamcast name (Katana is the codename.) Also, the terminators keep information from hitting the end of a cable or a port and bouncing back down the line, causing corruption. Finally, SCSI is late 80's to early 90's tech, my Mac SE from 1987 has a SCSI port.
And in what way would that motivate me to sell them?
awesome video!
awesome video
So is the Dreamcast BIOS built off of a Windows CE architecture? Or is it just compatible? I ask because these dev kits look VERY similar to old desktop PC towers.
@strykah92 Geist Force was found on a GD-R. Half-Life, not sure.
Hey Adam can you run Dreamshell or Linux on this. Does it run a version of Unix or can it do Windows Azure or CE.
Yeah, a few people have told me that. But non so eloquently, kudos.
can the dev kit be used as a dreamcast to play games from gdrom?
Thanks for watching man.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Yes, that was the working title.
@AdamKoralik
What about using another com for a jukebox?
@jrlegomaster Oh, that might be possible. I honestly don't know. Thats not something I could do.
Does this support Broadband Adapter?
The new games that get releases like that, such as Gunlord, use independently developed software and hardware. Your average PC has better hardware than anything in here.
Thanks for watching.
@mattrock1988 I have a GD-Writer and GD-X actually, I just haven't done videos on them yet. I don't intend to sell the DevKit, sorry.
Have you tried running a recovery software on that hard drive?
@Tyjohnable No, because you couldn't install Daemon Tools on the Dreamcast bios.
I know bud, thanks for watching.
@AdamKoralik
Yes but wouldn't a program like Damon tools allow you to load one at a time no matter how many were on the drive?
I thought you'be starting some development action in one of your videos. :(
I'm mostly interested on how those things are done.
I know we need these dev kits you are showing to get some stuff done, but how's a developer's life on a daily basis? How does these boxes work? What language, compilers, modeling software, Sega engines, etc, do they use?
can you put the broadband thing in the dev. kit
Which?
Interesting that you mentioned unreleased games get found on these things, I wonder if Half-Life (and more recently, Geist Force) were discovered on a dev kit.
wow i finally found what was on the dev kit. strangely enough, there was multiple roms on it (roms exported by a friend of mine) of a extremely screwed up version of sonic adventure and a other version called "sonic-adventure-international". i still have the dev kit and i noticed it had a 4 GB hard drive. the dev kit itself was very strange in itself to, the GDrom drive looked like a normal computer drive but it said "GD-writer hkt-05". But this was a dev kit... and thank you for your help :D
Oh I know, I just wanted to make sure that was why.
are you selling thos dev computers?
@crazyhitlover Actually no version of the Dreamcast has copy protection. So, no matter what you get, its a safe bet.
Yeah, some faith in humanity restored.
@TheMachinimanator I have no desire to try and make games.
Yes, I'm a hundred percent sure there is nothing on the hard drive.
I do have the SD card adapter actually.
Thanks for the offer though, thats cool of you.
@TheMachinimanator No I don't know anyone who wants to get rid of a broadband adapter. Check EBay.
Classic af video. Hopped on here because i couldn't remember if the Dreamcast-labelled boxes were always just stickers slapped on the front of the box. i wonder what's behind those stickers?
Thanks man.
That's a cool little piece of Sega History there. I'll take one off your hands, I'll just pay the shipping.
@AdamKoralik what i mean is replace the modem and put the guts of a broadband adapter in the 56k modem in its place on the dev. kit
my dad worked for Sega in 2000 to program the dreamcast and has one of the dev kits in my garage, from what im told is the hard drive is not wiped! so possibly there could be a game on it but i cant check because i don't have any of the cords
Does it have a Bios?
@Tyjohnable That wouldn't work only because the limits of the Dreamcast software can only recognize one game at a time. So even if you could fit them all, it would only acknowledge one of them.
@omfgzhax Sorry dude. I've been made aware of the mistake...a lot.
@IoncannonSat1 Yeah thats what I've come to understand.
try plugging the hard drive into a pc and run a free data recovery program (can't give links) and see if you can recover anything
Those devices connected to the SCSI ports on the back seem to be SCSI Terminators. SCSI devices could be daisy chained together (up to 7 devices iirc) but the end had to be terminated with that device.
Thanks.
Yep, Raymond is awesome.
i think the katna one is for testing only and the one with the dreamcast logo was for programing and testing in one complete package, also it later.
Who doesn't? What's your proposition?
What is? Not mailing him one of these?
I'd love to see video of what's inside!
Because when I looked up the Dev. Kit, I couldn't find and kinds of Dev. Kits.
For example, for the Mac and Amiga computers, you would have a CDROM, then two HDDS connected together by 1 scsi cable. The last device on the chain had a terminator jumper (the device you have is for external scsi devices) that would be set. The terminators were needed because once the signal reached the end of the cable, it would reflect back the other way causing data corruption.
Well that Devkit on the Right that says Katana, that was the codename of the Dreamcast during production, my assumption is that when they made the original devkit, not everything was ready, or perhaps set in stone, leaving those spaces and such. As the Dreamcast hardware finalized, they released the updated devkit on the left. Or at least, its my guess.
@ninjazhu Yes.
@FlatAbove732 The SD mod technology is still too new. I have the SD Card reader for the Dreamcast and I did a video on it. Besides, I don't mind the load times of Shenmue.
Sure thing. You might want to take this information to the Assembler Forums, they're always looking for development kit finds. You should tell them about the Sonic Adventure builds you have.
@mattrock1988 Thanks. I'd suggest checking the AssemblerGames forums. People have them for sale from time to time there.
SCSI terminators basically tell the computer where the end of the wire is (with scsi hard drives you can daisy chain them together so the end needs terminating so it doesnt try sending signal further and bouncing back with errors)
Why would I want to sell them?
Man, I wish I had one of these.
@jrlegomaster Unfortunately you can not.
that is so awesome!
SCSI was the USB 2.0 of it's day, and a lot of highend PC hardware used SCSI ports for fast data transfers. They where mainly tape drives for large backups, and storage. I had a Buffalo tape drive in the early/mid 90's that was SCSI, but it's been around sense about 1981, also SCSI does not have latency as bad as USB or Firewire, so it's threwput is more consistent, and ULTRA640 SCSI can transfer 640MB/s, almost an entire CD-R LOL!
Are you suggesting one of the development kits has a broadband port? I can promise you it doesn't.
Yeah, I know.
Pretty sure I did that a few years ago.
I don't know enough about the mechanics of engineering to possibly address those issues, sorry. I'd check the Assembler forums. There are some guys there who really know this stuff.
1. SCSI is not weird and is a commonly used yet dieing technology that was frequently used on servers until the mid 2000s when sata took over. SCSI is better then IDE.
2. I love how this video is narrated by your hand.
3. I would LOVE to get one of those.
@SillyHatVideos Makes sense to me.
@wizkid5059 Yeah I know.
I wish i had one after seeing these i wanted to get one for the coolness of there look
Do you mean for the XBox 360 or something? Because no, I'm sure thats impossible.
Yeah, it runs great. I did a video about it called Mystery Dreamcast Unboxing. Check it out.
when you turn it on do you see windows linx or a weird sega os
Turn on your Dreamcast, that's exactly what it looks like.
nice i just brought a dream cast off ebay to play games i used to play in my youth i have owned every sega console and accessory that has become available to me. Fantastic videos
Ben Love Thanks for watching.
@WorldGenesis Thanks.
@AdamKoralik Only reason I assume this is because the one says Katana while the other says Dreamcast. I could be completely off who knows lol.
@TheMachinimanator I suggest you make a video of "Dreamcat."
I admire your dedication, but I'm going to stick to my guns on this.
Yeah.
i have 2 non working segas Devkit Katana forsale i tried to sell on Craigslist with no success in Texas one the drive wont open and the other the power supply fan turns on but nothing happens don't know if its a short or not i got them from a friends dad who worked for maxtor back in the mid 90s both have hard drives but dont know any thing about them message me
@Ostry96v ...What?
@percival369 Thanks.
dev kit is used to make games?
if the person learn to use the dev kit it can do homebrew games ... this seems to be incredible!
One of them says property of Eidos on it, so, I'm guessing no.
@strictlysega Thank you.
Thanks, but I'm good.
Thanks for watching though.
@AdamKoralik Thats still kinda up in the air what if he wants a hello kitty version?
That was the codename, yes.
I think that 3rd party companies got different dev kits, but I'm not sure if either of those are one of them. Maybe.
