hmm. . .I guess I should probably research. . .cause I wouldn't even know what to ask. . .those that have dealt with me know I'm not always up and up on the prices of things. . .hence the reason I still have that Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolf mastering tape and the IGP proto :D

Anyone knowledgeable on these? ASSEM?

I'd be interested in the Saturn manual... might be in the SNES ones too, if the price is right :-)

Yo, good to see you back!
However, are you sure the Saturn manual is really from Sega? Sounds like a stock SH-1 programming manual, those used to be available for all Intel's CPU's too, to name a few.

I'll give you $100 for all the SNES stuff and my word that it won't just be resold.

I want the SNES Manuals as well and the disk. Maybe I could then find something interesting with the other SNES dev stuff sitting here.

Ya know pasta, it could VERY well be just a generic manual (being the reason I really didn't mention SEGA but merely the Saturn). I really don't see any SEGA logos abound. Let us assume it is the manual you speak of then :D

OKay, as for offers. . .if you'd like to make a personal one you can AIM me or just PM me. . .feel free to post your offer here if you like though. . .What you are buying is either the SNES package of stuff (four items in all) or the SH7000 manual. . .

Money speaks, but so does trading. . .however, those that know me will tell you that I am hard to shop for ;)

Yup, I can tell you for sure that's a generic Hitachi programming manual, not a Sega one.

Still pretty interesting, I'm sure!!

COOL!!! can you list what files in disk ?, thank you

arsenal

would it be wrong if this stuff becomes publicly available? Sort of Like if someone I know were to buy it and then makes the info available to any would be SNES developers and such?

A 1991 or 2 copy of the documents are already on the 'net. It is illegal for them to be distributed freely but it's up to you.

Was only thinking I'm no genius in that area and it could be troublesome to figure out how to make good use of such manuals alone without recruiting some help. I wonder would I be splitting hairs to say it would be less severe if we were talking about a "third party" saturn manual up there.

What files are exactly on the disc? Would you be able to give me a directory listing?

I have one of those manuals for one of those Super NES Emulators dev kits, but never got any files for it. Just curious if that disc is supposed to be used along with my dev kit

hrm. . .I don't know if I should list the file contents. . .actually I haven't even checked the disk to see if it is functional. . .which I probably should.

However, on listing the contents, I believe leaving it a mystery is by far more fun :D

Sounds fun! Offer money for a disk that may or may not be useful - find out if you're screwed when it arrives!

For you!! If your going to sell something at least be upfront about what your selling...

wyte

sheesh. . .no one likes to gamble? Fine fine. . .I'll take it to work today and throw it in the pc to check out what's on the disk. . .I couldn't get it to run here on my home pc. . .but that's not a surprise since I just remembered I don't even have it hooked up!

BUT. . .be prepared for this to maybe be a Mac or OS2 disk. . .or worse case, somehow broken. . .ideas? Comments? Anyone know what platform the SNES dev kit ran on?

arsenal
11-30-2004, 12:40 PM
no ideas? I'm interested, like Beyondtetra to know what hardware it could go with. :smt045

SNES development kit, my SFBOX-II is base on NEC PC-98 .
i did not think you disk is a msx,FM-towns,x68000,mac or os2,.format
hope you can list what files inside , :-D

It appears to be a little bit of example code for mouse and multiplayer adaptor support. X65 is the raw code, btw. Very interesting stuff :D

Darn. Was hoping for some some engine libraries or something like that. Still it is an interesting item.

I am curious about the contents of the SuperNES manual, the one I have is specific to the Super NES Emulator kit I have, does that manual specify hardware or is it more coding?

Aka The Y0shi's SNES Docs?

By the way guys, when you send me an offer, please remember shipping is not included in the offer unless you note your offer suggests such (as with payment via paypal.com and their crazy fees). I know some of you guys are out of the states and I don't want to crush your spirits when you offer a fair amount but then cannot come up with the shipping cash for a fairly heavy item.

I've had some really nice offers for the SNES stuff and I just thought I'd make the details clear to everyone involved. . .

On the flip side, no one is interested in this Hatachi manual? No offers mean it could be cheap! :D
