It's kind of sad that I saw the news the other day everywhere and no one was giving you credit for the photos or that you have found it. I was really surprised on my sub feed today to see that YOU are the one who found it and delivered the pictures!
@Real B's Family-I've actually got a Nintendo 64 that's been modified to play Japanese N64 games as well as the English ones. If you're interested, I can see about selling it to you for a decent price, let me know what you think.
+Tom Peterson amen brother, it's all about the people. I'm into retro gaming and all, but I like this channel because I like MJR as a human being. Seems like a real sweet, kind man.
Region-locking needs to die out. Why punish people who import their games? Why should I or anyone else have to be punished for buying a perfectly legit game in one territory and trying to play it in another? What if I travel a lot? That's not protection, it's treating the customer like a criminal!
***** It doesn't need to take time. Region-locking needs to end RIGHT NOW. It took less time to go from having no space program in America to landing Neil Armstrong on the moon. Nintendo needs to stop being retarded and join the 21st century. It's 2016; old ways get forced out of society.
So great when you can just pop a game in from elsewhere and it will work. I even bought a Japanese PS3 baseball game, just cause I could (and cause the batting was like MLB Power Pros, which is fun as hell).
Region locks are stupid but in some countries it does make sense. Japan's import can be horrible at pricing, because of this they want to region lock stuff so people don't start importing it themselves (money going OUT of the country, not staying within). A good example of how Japan aproaches this without region locks is how they handle their CD releases. Bands get a choice - make bonus tracks for the Japanese release (this is why there are so many japanese releases of CD's) or well. We don't release it here. What bands then do is string some bonus tracks on it so it's in the eyes of the Japanese consumers "worth" the higher price.
sizlax yes!!!! I was just saying this same thing in comments above this one. I remember being a kid and reading about this and telling my friends and showing them the port on the bottom and telling them see that's where it goes! Man I'm glad someone else remembers
+Nott Joey or metal jesus doing a video on it.. too bad the guys who have it are money grubbing assholes who are holding it ransom trying to make as much money as they can with it
Jared Connell Actually, right now they are trying to get it fixed and working. There was just a video of it uploaded today about it being opened up and examined.
I acquired this from somebody I met off of Craigslist… however that person is shy and interested in keeping their personal information private and I want to respect that.
It's sad that developers of games don't talk more about their work. I'm sure guys like Mark from this video have amazing stories about creating consoles, games and other related things.
Heard someone found a 64DD, but didnt realize it was you that had found it. I would LOVE to see whats on that disc. Also I would have DEFINITELY gotten one.
I highly doubt it'd be Earthbound 64. That game wasn't finished, and Nintendo certainly wouldn't have translated it to English during development 'cause remember, Earthbound SNES bombed horribly. No one bought it, so Nintendo saw the US as a dead market for anything Earthbound.
I kind of doubt it. The game remained unfinished, and wasn't translated into English at the time it was shown off. And probably only 1 Development cartridge existed, considering it wasn't even playable when it was shown off. If anything, Iwata probably had it in his archive and probably still does to this day die despite his death. It's either in the hands of Nintendo, Hal, or it was destroyed long ago. An early version of Paper Mario, Kirby 64 or Banjo Tooie would be much more plausible considering those games had come out at around this time
When I was in primary school, my friend had told me that there was a new add-on for the N64 coming out soon that would use floppy disks, and that he had seen it because his dad had it for a few days before he returned it to someone. I never believed him.
Try contacting fangamer, they've been dealing with a lot of n64DD stuff over the years, they might know something or know someone who can get what is needed to load your blue disk.
@@PrinceOfTheTimelords There was one other expansion that I've seen a patent for as well as a photo in some magazine, but I have no idea what it was, but it had no disk slot on it.
There was a addon wich used the slot, cant remember for sure, somethinge like doctor.n64 or so, u could copy the games to a ZIP cardige and play from them when i remember.. always wanted that thing 😂 when i remember right u could even play NTSC games on PAL machines with that addon...
I can tell you from personal researching that that 64dd was holding a developer disk, it is a different color from the original n64 dd disk gray. It can only work with a Developer N64 DD that have a blue disk drive. I would be honored to help you search for a developer console so you can play and see what's in the contents of that disk.
Originally, the N64DD had multiple types of prototypes, there was a computer that could run a type of disk's similar in format to a normal n64dd that were larger than normal n64dd disk's, then had the blue prototype consoles which could run those blue developer disk's, then the released japan version, and scrapped the USA version of the N64DD, which contained the rare USA bios of the N64DD.
There is nothing wrong with the disk itself, it can't run on a normal n64DD due to the BIO's within the motherboard. We would need a Developer console that *obviously* contain the Developer BIO's.
IF, IF what is on the disk is an early retail version of the online services software they had been working on for Japan then there may be specific hardware requirements that must also be present before the disk would boot. iirc, there was (is) an external modem being developed that plugged into the bottom of the n64 itself and would have likely been required for a dial-up connection to the online services Nintendo had planned. The modem was never released in NA afaik as well. Please keep in mind this is purely speculation on my part. Metal Jesus definitely needs to find one of the developer cartridges though to complete his testing for us all to see.
The N64 is region free, but there is a physical part in the N64 which stops other region cartridges from fitting inside the slot. There is a way to cut off that part and stick the other region cart inside. So if it was cut off, it POSSIBLY could work.
Hey MetalJesusRocks. I want you to contact one of the guys over at 64DD.org, his name is LuigiBlood. Go to Dumps and scroll to the bottom and contact him, he should help you dump the rom and we should get to see what game it is.
This is nostalgic at its best!! I remember reading about this in like 1997, either online or more than likely in a gaming magazine! I had forgotten that it even existed until seeing your video, and then I remembered it. Awesome video!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
When I was younger I would always wonder what the n64 had the slot on the bottom. I thought it was something akin to a cartridge duplication function. Not proud to admit I tried jamming the cartridges that way
Contact a guy named "Professor Abrasive", he's an expert at console hacking who reverse engineered the Sega Saturn recently. He could for sure figure this out.
David Di Franco I remember seeing this in a Nintendo magizine a long time ago. Or it may have been game informer. Either way I knew about this thing but they never delivered on it.
Dustin&FriendsPlayGames we have a breaking news bulletin; someone here lives under a rock and has never heard a certain phrase before and also thinks phrases are taken literally. Dumbass also believes when someone says it's raining cats and dogs it's really raining cats and dogs.

Everyone, please listen! You know why that error popped up when he put the disk in the disk player. It's not because he need something special to play it, error 1 means "01: N64 disk drive may have been broken down, or Disk may be bad.", and I got this from searching N64DD error 1, and the website was Zetaboards. #SpreadTheWord
It was never an urban legend. Everyone knew that there was an Atari dump out in the middle of the desert. It was even reported on in the local newspapers of that area when Atari did that back in '83! What WAS an urban legend was that the dump had nothing but E.T. cartridges, which turned out to be false and there were actually far less E.T. cartridges in there than suspected.
+markasscop Arev not every newspaper in the country ran the same story, so people would hear about it by word of mouth but no way to prove it. The Internet is such a blessing, lol.
+Henry Dillard You should see The Gaming Historian's episode on this, he himself said there was no myth at all, all they did was just push the truth ever further
Love this guy. He's so knowledgeable and a great speaker with a warm personality to boot. He also doesn't waste time with unnecessary filler or long pauses. Great production. Keep up the good work!
My dad worked at Iguana Entertainment back in the days. So, he was a N64 dev. I asked him about the 64DD and he said, that Iguana Entertainment wanted to make a Turok 3 expansion for the 64DD.
The 64 DD was so much closer to release than we realize

Cool you are in Seattle where I am at! Definitely subscribing to you! Might see ya around here in Seattle some day!

I worked at Nintendo at one time. But I was only an underling that installed firmware on wii consoles and reported any debug errors to the engineers and handed the defected consoles to them. Sure I played Wii Sports a couple months before the Wii was even released in USA, but I was only an underling and I can tell ya that policies are a pretty big thing inside to keep secrets from leaking out. Hopefully a policy doesn't hold back people from telling the story about this great DD device.
Why has no one tried to reverse engineer the DD system add on? people could make custom roms for it and expand their own games, or even include it in an emulator.... people could do cool things with this forgotten add on... why has no one implemented this? i know allot don't have the know how to do such a thing, but I'm sure someone out there could figure it out and implement it themselves.
My lad, you are the archaeologist of video games! You answered so many questions I had about the Nintendo 64 DD! Would recommend this video, and the followup video, to anyone who might be interested in the topic. I'm just flabbergasted you found a functional one, let alone an English one with a factory blue port! Wow...
Hey metal jesus, how did you get the N64 to have 720P video out on your TV? do you have your N64 modded with an HDMI output or do you have some kind of converter device like the Framemesiter?
You're the kind of dude I could just sit around drinking a beer with while talking all the things video games. None of my friends are into games like I am, but whatever. Greetings from Philly, you've got a new subscriber homie. Keep on keeping on.
I have to admit, I probably don't have the patience to develop this or even go through all the legwork required to really learn about somehting that essentially didn't exist. But seriously, MAD MAD Respect from knowing about this, and not just knowing but actually using it, especially when emulators and flash drives are so prevalant nowadays. I can really see the passion and dedication you had for this, and everything that led you to these discoveries...Seriously well done.
Yeah, it's a shame Nintendo felt intimidated by Sony's PS2 machine, a machine that in the end crapped and lost to the newcomer Microsoft's Xbox. Had they gone full balls-deep in the N64 and the DiskDrive instead of the Gamecube, they would've triumphed over the two rival companies. Just imagine, instead of the GC, to buy the 64DD in 2002, playing Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, TLOZ:Wind Waker, StarFox 64 2, Conker's Other Bad Day...a dream we will never see made into a reality.
I remember always getting what my friends didn't have. It was like a potluck, but with video games. So I had the Playstation, so someone got the N64. One of them got the Dreamcast, so then I got the PS2 (which was 900 bucks on eBay and that was 'a good deal'). From there, consoles got cheaper and the sharing ended. Tbh, I miss the gaming parties. It's not at all the same online. No in-person spectators, no gigantic bowl of popcorn. No crushing them in Twisted Metal and then gloating 3 inches from them. No OP as fuck dual P90s in Golden Eye and people voting to ban camping the vents. No more unlocking Tekken characters that are clearly OP and getting people to beg you for the button combo. And then banning that, too, because it's flat out ridiculous.
GamerbyDesign On the same earth both the PS3 and XBOX360 got outsold by the Wii. I meant lost in the long end, as with all succesors. Lost ground as generations went on. I should've phrased what I meant better, my bad.
@MetalJesusRock i'd try to check with The Ben Heck Show. You probably know them already but they took apart the playstation/nintendo prototype and made it work. So if someone can get this thing to work or perhaps remove the region lock ? read the blue disk ? , it's most likely them. I am curious to know what the hell is on that blue disc.
Sam Hill SNES had the same slot. SNES for the CD add on they were working on with Sony until Nintendo backed out on and now we have the PlayStation brand.
***** Well this time its different because the angry birds dd will have different versions with Mario and Zelda characters plus you can connect your android to play on line :)
dude i had a nintendo power subscription for almost 20 years, i was always pissed this thing never came out in america, and i was always so interested in it. this is really cool to see. thanks for sharing this.
Lot Check is actually compliance testing. It's a combination of QA, to ensure the title is bug free during normal operations, a set of rules to ensure the software behaves properly during "user created crises", and a set of rules to ensure the device, button, etc. terminology all matches.
It's kind of sad that I saw the news the other day everywhere and no one was giving you credit for the photos or that you have found it. I was really surprised on my sub feed today to see that YOU are the one who found it and delivered the pictures!

What WAS an urban legend was that the dump had nothing but E.T. cartridges, which turned out to be false and there were actually far less E.T. cartridges in there than suspected.
I still don't understand how some people thought it was a legend when it was something that was actually documented
+markasscop Arev not every newspaper in the country ran the same story, so people would hear about it by word of mouth but no way to prove it. The Internet is such a blessing, lol.
+Henry Dillard You should see The Gaming Historian's episode on this, he himself said there was no myth at all, all they did was just push the truth ever further
+markasscop Arev it's because of all the AVGN fanboys
Love this guy. He's so knowledgeable and a great speaker with a warm personality to boot. He also doesn't waste time with unnecessary filler or long pauses. Great production. Keep up the good work!
My dad worked at Iguana Entertainment back in the days. So, he was a N64 dev. I asked him about the 64DD and he said, that Iguana Entertainment wanted to make a Turok 3 expansion for the 64DD.
Incredible. This has been an amazing week for retro gaming fans! I hope you can find a way to dump the contents of the disk.
What else happen this week in retro gaming besides this? Fill me in please!
nintendo is releasing a mini NES in november. it's a plug n play with 30 games
I think he might be referring to the guy who cracked the CD DRM on the Sega Saturn.
Yep, the new mini NES and the Saturn flash card.
+Challaxe Luithiadir I LOVE the flashback plug and plays. Got the genesis and Atari 3. Still need the intellivision and Coleco.
Send it to Ben Heck He could probably reverse engineer it and maybe make the disk drive work/see what is on the disk
coach slappy heyo
The 64 DD was so much closer to release than we realize
Cool you are in Seattle where I am at! Definitely subscribing to you! Might see ya around here in Seattle some day!
I worked at Nintendo at one time. But I was only an underling that installed firmware on wii consoles and reported any debug errors to the engineers and handed the defected consoles to them. Sure I played Wii Sports a couple months before the Wii was even released in USA, but I was only an underling and I can tell ya that policies are a pretty big thing inside to keep secrets from leaking out. Hopefully a policy doesn't hold back people from telling the story about this great DD device.
You definitely will if you hit up any of the retro stores like Pink Gorilla Games or Another Castle. I'm there every couple of weeks!
+Tyee Cambrón I would love working for nintendo
+MetalJesusRocks I wish this thing would of not flop
then it wouldn't be rare
Love it to the fact had the 64DD went on sale in the U.S. it would be difficult for it to compete with the PlayStation 2
Treasures like this ought to be kept with the utmost care.
So the label on the front that said "USA" didn't tip you off it might be a US version??
Shhhh.... Don't use that new fangled logic here
Why has no one tried to reverse engineer the DD system add on? people could make custom roms for it and expand their own games, or even include it in an emulator.... people could do cool things with this forgotten add on... why has no one implemented this? i know allot don't have the know how to do such a thing, but I'm sure someone out there could figure it out and implement it themselves.
Project64 and mabye by the time of this post some others have 64DD support.
mPky1 Mhm. Pretty rare video game collectable to risk pulling it apart.
They released the source since this episode 64dd.org/
Tomos Halsey Wow, beat me to the porridge. Anyways there is plenty of homebrew now.
very probably not worth the effort. There are only a few unfinished games out there
I hope to God one day someone finds a Mother 3 N64 demo somewhere.
This is easily one of the greatest finds in video game history, and one of the lost wonders of the gaming atmosphere (now found).
My lad, you are the archaeologist of video games! You answered so many questions I had about the Nintendo 64 DD! Would recommend this video, and the followup video, to anyone who might be interested in the topic. I'm just flabbergasted you found a functional one, let alone an English one with a factory blue port! Wow...
Man I'd love to get my hands on this - what a find!
Came because this was trending on Facebook
Same here
FOUND: Ultra-Rare Nintendo Prototype
Game: Prototype 2009
back to this gem in 2020! suprised I never seen this episode. on to part 2. great video
Hey metal jesus, how did you get the N64 to have 720P video out on your TV? do you have your N64 modded with an HDMI output or do you have some kind of converter device like the Framemesiter?
I use a simple Composite to HDMI converter by ENKO - $30 on Amazon and works great.
Great question. Thank you
Component? or did you mean Composite?
I'm sorry... composite... I think yellow video out and always say the wrong name! #HateThat ;)
+MetalJesusRocks You use composite? Why not S-video? It gives off a sharper signal.
the whole time my jaw was open.....unbelievable find.
That is super awesome! I always wanted to try the F-Zero Track Editor. I know that's cheesy but I just love building levels so much. :P
Your channel is my new addiction. I love all the videos. I can’t stop watching them. Thanks for all the awesome stuff.
Yeah subtitles! Greetings and blessings from Mexico! Great video!
"They only made 10 titles for it"
Yea but 4 of them are just different Mario Artist games...
The 64dd was scrapped for a system called the dolphin which was scrapped for the GameCube the fact that you got that bro is amazing
david liz pretty sure dolphin was the gamecube
5 years later, do we know what info was stored in the floppy disk?
He uploaded part 2 soon after this video. The disk was blank
Is there any update to this?
*The disc contains the meaning of life*
we already know the answer and it's 42. You're welcome.
@@savatagedude r/whooooooooosh
You're the kind of dude I could just sit around drinking a beer with while talking all the things video games. None of my friends are into games like I am, but whatever. Greetings from Philly, you've got a new subscriber homie. Keep on keeping on.
You mean, 64DD isn't Nintendo's bra size?
It's metal Jesus' bra size
THATS A HUUUUGE BITCH
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💀💀💀
That's amazing, I'd love to be involved in such project, brilliant!
Sooo, basically you're saying you have a PROTOTYPE? AWESOME BLOSSOM!!!
I have to admit, I probably don't have the patience to develop this or even go through all the legwork required to really learn about somehting that essentially didn't exist.
But seriously, MAD MAD Respect from knowing about this, and not just knowing but actually using it, especially when emulators and flash drives are so prevalant nowadays.
I can really see the passion and dedication you had for this, and everything that led you to these discoveries...Seriously well done.
Damn Nintendo. I bought the 64 with the promise of the DD to come out and give PlayStation a run for its money, only for it to never come out.
Yeah, it's a shame Nintendo felt intimidated by Sony's PS2 machine, a machine that in the end crapped and lost to the newcomer Microsoft's Xbox. Had they gone full balls-deep in the N64 and the DiskDrive instead of the Gamecube, they would've triumphed over the two rival companies.
Just imagine, instead of the GC, to buy the 64DD in 2002, playing Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, TLOZ:Wind Waker, StarFox 64 2, Conker's Other Bad Day...a dream we will never see made into a reality.
On what earth did the original XBOX beat the PS2?
I remember always getting what my friends didn't have. It was like a potluck, but with video games.
So I had the Playstation, so someone got the N64. One of them got the Dreamcast, so then I got the PS2 (which was 900 bucks on eBay and that was 'a good deal').
From there, consoles got cheaper and the sharing ended.
Tbh, I miss the gaming parties. It's not at all the same online.
No in-person spectators, no gigantic bowl of popcorn.
No crushing them in Twisted Metal and then gloating 3 inches from them.
No OP as fuck dual P90s in Golden Eye and people voting to ban camping the vents.
No more unlocking Tekken characters that are clearly OP and getting people to beg you for the button combo.
And then banning that, too, because it's flat out ridiculous.
+GamerbyDesign he said nothing about the original Xbox or the PS2 in his comment lol
GamerbyDesign On the same earth both the PS3 and XBOX360 got outsold by the Wii.
I meant lost in the long end, as with all succesors. Lost ground as generations went on. I should've phrased what I meant better, my bad.
WOW that partner cartridge is a L O N G B O Y
@MetalJesusRock i'd try to check with The Ben Heck Show. You probably know them already but they took apart the playstation/nintendo prototype and made it work. So if someone can get this thing to work or perhaps remove the region lock ? read the blue disk ? , it's most likely them. I am curious to know what the hell is on that blue disc.
i want a N64 mini with the mini 64DD and a catridge. Just like what Sega did with the Genesis Tower
You missed mario 64 2
17 sec intro-_-
+Waldo 874 you'll never get that time back
+MetalJesusRocks Work with KiiroBomber! is the real deal! btw man :) you lookalike Rammstein drummer Christoph Schneider with long hair :)
no
+The Aristocrat Cancergon im so sorry, I understand the pain
I like it
Did we ever figure this out
doesn't tell you where it came from cause he kill someone for it
This channel is the best video game channel ever
when I was a kid I always wondered what you put in the slot under the 64
Sam Hill SNES had the same slot. SNES for the CD add on they were working on with Sony until Nintendo backed out on and now we have the PlayStation brand.
someone needs to find a way to program games for this thing
its not a dev kit
+MLG PRO WHO CARES
yes maybe angry birds DD
***** Well this time its different because the angry birds dd will have different versions with Mario and Zelda characters plus you can connect your android to play on line :)
Amazing video but anybody knows where can i get that T-SHIRT??? I WANNNTT!!!!
You can buy that shirt from RockHartClothing.com - So cool! Check it out.
thanks mate! :D
holly molly dude wow cant believe you found this, tell the story how you found it metal jesus
Link?
Don't buy it! This guy mocks Jesus Christ and the shirt clearly has devil horns on it
dude i had a nintendo power subscription for almost 20 years, i was always pissed this thing never came out in america, and i was always so interested in it. this is really cool to see. thanks for sharing this.
Looks almost exactly like the Doctor64 that I owned except where the HDD goes there was a CDRom drive for you to load your ROMs from.
Metal Jesus, did you ever find someone or a way to get the info off of that disc??
im pissed i saw one at a shitty pawnshop didnt really know what it was went home without it.... i regret it.
man that sucks
sure you did 👍
well i saw something attatched to the bottom of an n64 and didnt really know what it was and left without it. im quite sure thats what it was.
+Michael Edgell Could've also been a V64 or CD64.
So basically, you don't know what you're talking about.
Make it your mission to find out what that blue disk contains!!! A follow video is a must! Excited!
Get Hard4Games in here!
I think they have a dev cart!!
;)
better be a crossover vid ;)
+Hard 4 Games Reviews for the love of God please contact OP.
Hard 4 games has a dev n64 dd maybe you could try the disk in that.
Wow. That's really awesome.
Lot Check is actually compliance testing. It's a combination of QA, to ensure the title is bug free during normal operations, a set of rules to ensure the software behaves properly during "user created crises", and a set of rules to ensure the device, button, etc. terminology all matches.
But... can it run Crysis?
