Some cool stuff there :smt023

I sort of regret selling my Saturn & Dreamcast dev kits and all the prototypes & GD-Rs, but damned finances got too tight :smt022

Ahh well, I'll rebuild my collection bigger and better than before some day :smt033 Perhaps If I can get a job this christmas then I'll be able to buy me some more prototypes & dev kits :smt023

Any idea which companies owned your hardware? I also got 2x PAL PSX Debuggers - 1 of them came from Silicon Dreams

[Yakumo]

That's a nice collection of Dev units you have there oldengineer. Do you work for a game company at all?

Yakumo

[SilverBolt]

Damn that's some serious dev stuff, must have cost you quite a lot seeing what the average price is these days.

[Alien Workshop]

Your XBOX collection is "Da Shit" :-D. How did you get the Launch Team XBOX? Were you on the launch team, or did you know someone on the launch team.

Hi

LeGIt:

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated.

Yakumo:

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated.

SilverBolt:

Hmmmmmmm everything is relative as far as money goes, a lot comes down to luck and being in the right place at the right time :)

Alien Workshop:

Hmmm well I've never had my collection referred to as "Da Sh*t" before, I guess its a compliment ;) ...But hey everyones entitled to their own opinion I guess lol ;)

...As for the Launch Team Team Xbox, 'yes', I happened to be one of the right people at the right time :)



Thanks for looking in all, more cool stuff to be posted soon

[LeGIt]

I also noticed you will be updating the site with stuff for sale - any dev hardwarwe or prototypes up for grabs? :-D

[HI_Ricky]

wow, nice pic , thank you share. :smt023

Keep an eye out m8, whilst I'm not that fussed on selling, I'm always in the market to trade :)


HI_Ricky:

Yes, it is a compliment ;-) Seeing all those special edition XBOX's, the amazing Launch Team XBOX, the BETA debugger, the different DEV KITS, it is awesome. Do you plan on getting any of the others? The Panzer Dragoon Orta Edition, the DewU XBOX, the Halo XBOX, or the Kasumi-Chan Blue XBOX ?

Alien Workshop:

Thank you, your kind words are always appreciated m8.

...And 'yes' I've always like the Limited Edition Xbox's and no doubt all the ones on your list will get added in good time :)

If you don`t mind me asking.......I am presuming with all the kit etc
that you would now...

The Ltd Edition Green UK machines...5600...

I haven`t been able find the production numbers anywhere else......do you have this officially?

[Topic Archive]

virtual alan:

Hi, thanks for your interest and the many 'praying' emotions, lol, nice touch m8 :smt023

...Anyway going back to the 5,600 ltd U.K 'green Xbox's', 'Yes' this figure is 'pretty' accurate (I will only try to quote figures that I'm fairly sure of)

...Hence why I listed the 'Special Edition Launch Team Xbox' as being only a handful of units, as a handful was all that was required / allowed.

...Although production line figures can be 'adjusted' to suit I'm fairly confident that in this particular instance the figure of 5,600 units is true and was achieved.

...Of course many other 'green Xbox's' have been made for other 'uses' and 'other' countries but thats not relevant to your original question :)

[SuperGrafx]

I have a question for you oldengineer.
In one of your pics, you show an XBOX debug console along with some beta discs.
Among one of them is a Shenmue 2 work-in-progress disc. Can you tell me how far along the game is on that disc and if it has or lacks any features from the final build?

[Topic Archive]

SuperGrafx:

Hi thanks for your interest m8.

As for the content of the beta coded Shenmue 2 dual-layer disc I would have to check it out again sometime to be totally sure.

...From memory the game doesn't lack anything, quite the reverse.

...In fact I would go as far to say that its probably got more features than the retail release!

:smt023

Just updated site with a few Sega console games that were 'played to death in their time', nothing rare, purely sentimental to me :)

>>> Sega Megadrive games, Sega Mega CD games and Sega Saturn games.

...You may notice that the Mega CD game 'Ground Zero Texas' came on 2 discs, which at the time was damn near 'revolutionary'!!!

Hey, great collection you have there! Maybe I've had my head in the sand, but I've not seen those GC machines before! Very nice!

I take it from your Sega stuff that you are in the UK, then?

Nice to have someone conserving information - I can tell you from experience how hard it is to try and find that info too late!

[einbebop44]

Woah, that GC with the carts in it is awesome! :smt023

I am in shock. I only looked at about 10% of the stuff too! :prayer: :prayer:

Props.

Thanks for the interest m8.

It's always nice to hear what people like to see an know more of.

Your response is noted and I shall start to dig out more facts to add to the site.

...Like you say its crucial to conserve what 'little' we know.


einbebop44:

Glad you like the NPDP-Console, its a really nice piece of kit, definately one of my 'personal faves'.

The games and apps on the NPDP-carts are very cool as well :-)

...The 'nice' thing with the carts is that u can 'fill' it with say four 'different' version of the same game and compare all four versions systematically without having to burn/swop disc's etc.

...As it happens I've just got another cart so that makes four now!

...The NPDP-GDEV is the 'ultimate' Gamecube Dev Kit though, it's on the site, along with the other 90% of stuff, lol.

...If u get chance check it out m8, that will run NPDP-carts and .gcm/.iso images via a P.C fitted with a 'custom' SCSI Emulator board :-)

[SuperGrafx]

I never get tired of looking at your collection pieces! Truly some impressive stuff you have there!

That is one awesome looking XBOX system! I had no idea the box was so big!
How did they manage to pack that inlcuded manpillow into the box? Was it folded up or did it ship separately?

[Topic Archive]

SuperGrafx asked...

Ahhh, yes, I wondered how they was gonna do it, now I can reveal...

There's two parts to the pillow (don't laugh:-)

...There's a blow up 'cushion' part, which you blow up and then slip into the 'life-size' pillow case !!!

Viola! you end up with an Xbox, ltd controller, 2 disc game pack, manual, DVD remote and dongle and a snazzy pillow 'kit' all in one neat package :-)

...There's a blow up 'cushion' part, which you blow up and then slip into the 'life-size' pillow case !!!



Ohh...I was sort of expecting it to be a traditional pillow...with the cotton/down filling. I had no idea that it was one of those air cushion types.

Oh and before I forget, which optical drive did your system come with? Samsung, Thomson, or other?

[Taemos]

I hear that all of the Kasumi Xboxes have come with Thompson drives. I've also heard that the motherboards are all V1.0.

I can't confirm those, however.

[Topic Archive]

SuperGrafx asked...

...Looking at the drive tray I would say its likely to be a Thomson.



Taemos said...

...I can confirm that the Kernal =4034 and the Dash =4920 (build date =01/09/04).

...Thus I would agree that the Motherboard is likely to be an 'early' version, such as a Ver 1.0


Hope this helps :smt023

[SuperGrafx]

...Looking at the drive tray I would say its likely to be a Thomson.



That's a bit odd, especially considering how many people complained about the Thomson drives in previous models. Oh well, I guess if it starts to act up you could always swap it! :)

...Hmmm, well I'll be pleased if it is a Thomson as I've never had a single problem with Thomson drive's. If it had a Samsung drive in it, I would definatley be worried though :)

:smt023

[Taemos]

My friend's Thompson is starting to crap out ("dirty disc" error), but he's had his since launch.

My Xbox is starting to worry me, though. It shut off in the middle of a game of Halo 2. Then again, it was on for about 8-9 hours straight. I assume it just overheated.

Just added two Nintendo NR-Readers.

>1 off PAL

...Oh and a pile of NR game disc's :)

[asnozz]

I got a Samsung drive with my crystal X. About the only damn thing that went right with that. :smt043

not particularly since the samsung drives in the new crystal/1.6 xboxs have a new trype of samsung drive which reads less media. It still isnt as bad as a thompson, although it isnt the best drive you can get in an xbox (its middlish of the pack, the old one 1.1-1.4 was excellent since it could read almost anything!) :smt023

[Taemos]

The Samsung in my 1.1/1.2 box reads anything I put into it quite happily :smt023 . CD-Rs and burned DVDs (not sure which type) are the only thing I've put in there so far (err, as far as burned media goes).

[Taemos]

Hi WolverineDK, glad you liked what you saw m8.

...As for programming you ought to think about getting a Net Yaroze to start with. Programming code is deliberately compact, thus reasonably achievable.

The Alphas are nice. Are yours II's or I's I have 2 Alpha 1's and one alpha II. Since the alpha I's run a modified 2000 system I installed new hard drives and installed a full version of 2000 on both so I could run them as my development units.

...It brings back some very happy memories, and also happens to be the 'oldest' retail Xbox I own due to it being manufactured before the 'official' U.S launch date :)

...Strange thing is I don't go out of my way to find those LTD Xbox's, they just tend to 'land' my way, so I can't really refuse !!!!

Thats correct, because my GDEV was one of only a few Final Hardware BETA kits made by Hudson for Nintendo.

...Later kits don't usually mention Hudson at all, they just say "licensed by Nintendo"


here's the GDEV promotional advert that Hudson used to have on their site:


"Hudson has been producing game software from the early days of the microcomputer. We've developed our game software with effective internal methods on existing hardware. We've even created an original platform suitable for our game software.

For game connoisseurs, the "PC Engine" brings warm memories. Hudson provided all the technology for the chip system known internally as "C62". We developed the entire platform including the semiconductor chips, OS, development environment, storage media and related technology. We sublicensed the entire package and then provided a long list of successful software for the console.

Our comprehensive knowledge of the game business has helped us to create useful middleware for the current generation of game platforms.

"NPDP-GDEV" is a development tool compatible with Nintendo's Gamecube platform. We developed this tool in conjunction with Nintendo. They have been shipped to developers all over the world as the de facto standard for Nintendo Gamecube development.

We've learned that developing tools to help game software developers depends on supporting the designer's needs. Our close relation to game software developers and their feedback are essential to creating successful user-friendly systems".

Old engineer just out of curiosity..how rare are the ones that say manufactured by hudson soft. I looked at the back of two of the units I have and they say that

[Topic Archive]

First off are both the kits you have marked as 'Beta'?

...If they are then thats fine and thats the reason for the Hudson sticker.

...If not then they have probably have slightly 'later' (the same in real terms) hardware inside an older case, which again was 'normal' practice.

In other words early cases carried the Hudson sticker and later cases can carry a Nintendo sticker.

...I guess it must of taken a while to use up the Hudson stickers though, before moving to the Nintendo variety! :)

[Jamie]

Just looked at this page for the first time, oldengineer mate that's an massivley eviable collection dude.

Well done, i'm not jealous..... honest!

I think that there needs to be a warning on the front page:

"Warning: If you are pregnant, likely to become pregnant, have a heart condition or are prone to seizures, do not continue reading this thread without first consulting a physician."

I think you're likely to become pregnant just by looking at this thread.

That LAMBORGHINI game loks really nice, how does it play?

That LAMBORGHINI game loks really nice, how does it play?


It plays beautifully.

A really nice game, lots of challenges and quite difficult to master to the degree of making money to continue the game.

...Everything you could wish is there, damage cost's money to repair and with near / actual 200mph cars, damage is tricky to avoid and costly to put right.

...A nice touch, as you play the game you get people that want to race you 'unofficially' for money, its up to you whether you accept, or not.

...Cars are lovely as you would expect from an official license.

...Handling is extremely well managed.

...Tracks are perfect.

...All in all a really well put together game, thanks for your interest.

Wow! thats fantastic, thanks for sharing that photo and the story, that's super!!!

...Did they let you play the full Live! game or was you restricted to a demo?

[mdmx]

as far as I know you could choose between 2 tracks.

there was also a competition: the player with the best time could win a racing pod from Thrustmaster. I should have some more photos and even videos from it.

edit: sorry the price was not an xbox.

Never released 'cos the company went under :(


...And 'Yes' I have a version that will play on a modded Xbox ;)

...I have three versions, the 'pressed' demo, the full 'pressed' locked to Beta Live! H/W ver, and a full Beta Live! ver that doesn't require a Beta Live! BIOS to run! if that makes sense :-s
