Show yourself holding it in front of your desktop, open on this thread.

>>7360031
OK, I guess? Maybe later

>>7359963
Dump it faggot

>>7360239
Pay me.

I have almost the entire turbografx collection that I have been holding onto since the 90s.
None of it is in particularly good shape but I bet I could get a few 1000s for it

>>7360268
Did you buy the games to play them back then?

It's not particularly valuable, but I have a not for resale version of Stunt Race FX that was used in a store demo kiosk. If we are talking commercially available, then probably a complete copy of Bangai-o for N64. There were supposedly only 10,000 copies made. I also have an English copy of Magical Chase.

>>7360363
Yes. It was actually my uncle's but it was the the fun thing we did together as a family.
Then about 15 or so years ago, he gave me the whole collection for Christmas

>>7359963
Prove it.

>>7361902
Here's another photo I took previously

>>7361961
Actual proof

>>7361973
Like what?

I'm got an officially licensed Japanese Dance Dance Revolution Zippo lighter in a box somewhere. I grabbed it 15 or so years ago because it was hilarious.

>>7362000
Tar up those lungs so you can last longer on the dance pad

>>7360246
Dude come on, dump it. Has it at least been documented online? Do we have screenshots of this rough translation? Can you show us some shots of the swearing in it?

i cant really think of the rarest thing i have, but ive got a Sharp NES tv/console, a FamicomBox console with a couple games and the less rare/expensive SuperFamicomBox. i also just have it on display right now but got it with the intent of trying to get it modified into a functional SNES controller- its the controller for the Nintendo Super System (that may not be the actual name) which was kinda like the SNES version of the PlayChoice10, but used a controller instead of an arcade stick(i think it was more intended as a demo unit for the Snes u paid to play rather then a profitable arcade unit)

>>7362016
See
>>7361961

>>7359963
I have a prototype build of Crazy Taxi 1&2, but that's about it in terms of stuff like that.
I do have a PSP dev tool and PSP test tool, and an IS Nitro emulator.

>>7362016
It isn't documented, it was never even announced. However, there was a Nintendo Treehouse interview that mentioned an early Starfy translation they received which had swearing in it. It sounded like it was the DS game, but maybe his memory was wrong, because this version does indeed have swearing. The graphics have also been partially updated to English, such as a new title logo. The debug functions are also more functional than the remnants left in the retail game.

>>7362023
Do you have the keys for the famicombox/Super famicom box? I've been trying to get keys made for it, but man, finding someone that can make mini tubular keys for this stuff is so hard, even if I have pictures and all the depths of cuts for the key.

>>7362038
no, but there is a video on youtube showing how to get the Super version open without the key. there is also a guy on ebay selling keys for it for like 35$ but fuck that

>>7362030
the one not-4-public item i really want is that Intelligent Systems kit to play DS games on 2 monitors, or what ever set ups nintendo used in their World Store in nyc to allow similar to play demos on full size screens

>>7362063
The guys on youtube opening it without the key are taking the case apart using special bits, and those screws are actually in so tight that you'll scar them trying to open them, I just picked the lock instead.
And the guy on ebay selling the key is selling the program key, not the key for the front panel.
I actually bought one of those...
Only to find out the program lock was modded ( read: guts removed ) to make it rotate with anything inserted.
It was a bitch and a half to restore that lock to function again. Had to file the wafers into the right shape to fit the lock and key.

>>7362076
If you ever find one, make sure to buy the IS-Nitro Capture or IS-Nitro Video then, not the Emulator like the one I have, because that one doesn't play retail games.
Btw you can also use the dip switches to make it output both screens to 1 monitor instead.

>>7362082
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cVWnI8UL3Q

this was the video in particular i was referring to (he has a couple on the hardware)

>>7361981
Like a fucking timestamp, retard. Not an image you pulled from google.

>>7362102
Yeah I figured you meant his, those screws are in there insanely tight, and won't budge at all, I tried.
But picking 4 pin tubular locks is thankfully pretty easy, and I got pretty good at it after messing with my 3DS demopod and opening all 6 locks on that.

i have a bunch of Not For Resale copies of N64 games I got from a friend who worked as a Nintendo retail ambassador

>>7362109
that sucks. I have actually tried to open it myself yet and just had that video saved for when I attempt it. I was also just considering drilling out the locks like I did on a cocktail arcade cabinet I have that also used circle locks

>>7362130
*havent actually

>>7362130
The bitting on these keys is actually laughable, you can probably open it with a cardboard straw.
Though there's also no real reason to open it, since it's not like you're gonna be putting other games into it unless you somehow got your hands on some loose cartridges for it.

>>7362125
Anything interesting / unreleased? Such as late betas and the like?

>>7362150
no its all just stuff that got released normally, but says NOT FOR RESALE on the cart, though I think some may be demo versions. I think one of them may be that grey cart version of Majora's Mask that was used in store demos. I have them in storage right now so the only one I have in arms reach right now is a NFR copy of Mario Party 3

>>7362161
Noted. I ask because the DK64 NFR cart has a bunch of leftovers from earlier builds that aren't in the final release, and I was wondering if your collection might be the same.
https://tcrf.net/Proto:Donkey_Kong_64

>>7362145
i forget which carts I have in mine right now. I think its the Mario/StarFox one you need inorder to operate the unit and the other one has I think a Mahjong game on it and some other stuff. I would like to still get the one cart with Bomberman on it if I ever find it. I am more interested in getting more carts for the FamicomBox so I can have all the slots filled. I will admit I was masterfully retarded when I got it without very little research into it, thinking it would play any NES carts like that one demo kiosk unit and didnt realize it would only play specific made carts, but I got it for such a steal I really didnt care too much and its still near on its own

>>7362167
huh, thats interesting. I cant remember if that was one of the carts with it or not, but now I really wanna dig them out and check since I really liked DK64. The only one I remember having I think some different content on it was the Majora's Mask cart.

>>7362173
Oh, you need the Mario cartridge for it to operate? I didn't know that.
I have the default cartridge and the Donkey kong + bomberman cartridge in it. The guy who sold me mine had a shitload of them from a hotel in Japan so I got to pick any game version I wanted.
Oh shit, did you buy the FamicomBox without the games? That's gonna be hard. It's not an M82.

pic unrelated.

>>7362197

no thankfully it had a bunch of games with it, I think there is only like 6 slots left open on it. When I first said I would buy it, it was under like 300$ and was the first time I had seen one in person so I jumped on it and then between me actually going to pick it up from the guy I promised to buy it from and researched it some more, I realized my stupid assumption, but it still wanted it regardless at that point

>>7362221
I probably would've bought it for that price too, to be honest.

>>7362221
I have the opportunity to buy a GBA kiosk display for 500 bucks right now, but it's a bit pricy for how little you actually get for it, not something interesting like a famicom box.

>>7362227
is it just like a GBA hooked up to a stand basically or does it have some interesting features on it? I always though the one GameBoy kiosk was cool with the larger screen games would display on

>>7362235
That gameboy kiosk shaped like a giant gameboy is the best.
But no, these european kiosks for the handhelds, up to the DS, were all just big metal frames with some advertisement on em and a metal cage for the console. No screens or anything, usually just a fixed light above it.

i got a copy of Poop Slinger for PS4 which supposedly only sold like 84 copies or something and no one knows what the publisher did with the rest of them

>>7362248
yeah that is pretty barebones, but still kinda neat if you could get it for cheap. Idk if I would personally pay 500 for it, but would probably be worth it for someone who is real big into the GBA. i have a Wii kiosk similar to that, but i found that in the trash.

>>7362263
It's like... These things basically almost never come up for sale, so they're rare. But I don't want to pay 500 bucks for something like this.
I paid maybe 100-150 for this DS one.

>>7362104
OK

>>7362305
Quick question: have you backed up the ROM on a hard drive somewhere? I genuinely doubt Nintendo will come after you as they don't care about Starfy.

>>7362310
Debug

>>7362335
Starfy is from "Heaven"

>>7362339
Oh shit!

>>7362310
Yes, I have the ROM backed up.

Why do fags larp about having shit they don't?
What do they get outta it?

>>7363481
Dunno about the stafy guy, but all the pictures of demopods and devkits aside from the GBA one which i stated I didn't own, were actually of my collection.
Very easy to prove too.

>>7363481
I'm not larping.

>>7363582
Why are you deleting all your images.

reminder to dump your shit online if you have rare stuff.
these things could disappear forever if not distributed.

>>7363658
reminder to buy all rare shit you see for sale online so you can dump it.
these things could disappear forever if not purchased.

>>7363589
I got caught larping and need to destroy the evidence. I'm too retarded to know it's all archived.

>>7363673
While I'm annoyed by people that tell me to do shit like this as well, I think that as a collector, and not someone who just flips rare shit, there's nothing wrong with dumping your stuff, you having the original it doesn't devalue your collector's item.
I made sure to dump the crazy taxi prototype build I have too.

>>7363713
>buy rare thing
>dump it
>sell dump... oh wait sorry "raise donations" as the "preservationists" like to call it
>keep item

>>7359963
i have one of these. uncle was a manager for kay bee. still works! not my video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVYGDwqBTNw

>>7362035
Is it fully translated? You should dump it

>>7359963
I have a Neo Geo MVS Goldie that I picked up off Craigslist for $350. I currently have Waku Waku 7 and Neo Turf Masters in it right now.

>>7365415
ive got one of those too. I kinda would have preferred the iconic red cabs, but that wood paneling and shape of it has a comfy feel like something you would see in a bar rather then an arcade

>>7365319
I've dumped it, but I won't post it unless somebody pays for it.

>>7359963
>>7361961
>>7363582
Have you tried contacting the Hidden Palace or Obscure Gamers? Video clips would also generate more interest than still images.

>rough translation made by the Japanese team
>"Starfy"

>>7367075
It is what it is, dude.

>>7367114
Don't be mad your hoaxed extortion plan got found out by someone with basic weeb skill.

>>7363582
>StaRfy
Well... that was quick

>>7367114
Let me explain how your bluff was called you dummy. Japanese called it Stafy, or 「スタフィー」 (Sutafī); if it was Starfy, it'd be 「スターフィー 」 (Sutāfī). "Starfy" reeks of NoA Treehouse, but even they called it "Stafy" in Smash consistently up until the first official localization release. If Japanese made a rough translation, it'd certainly be Stafy like they've been using for every game, not Starfy. inb4 you try again in a little while after editing your epic mistake.

>>7362035
Hmm! I too have memory of this interview! I wish I could also remember where I saw it! Good luck with your sale anon!

Dammit guys, I noticed too but wanted to wait until we saw his shitty titlescreen edit alluded to at >>7362035 , y'all blew the load too soon.

the number one thing getting in the way of video game preservation is fucking braindead slugs like you

>>7366154
Oh good. That simplifies things, then. Could you give us the first 1/10 of the file? That'll make verifying it super easy, while not being enough to really do anything else with.

>>7367840
>The infamous "Picasso" statement.
Hahaha wow, fuck them.
>Dodging basic shit like the major name issue, seeing it in motion, etc.
Fuck you too, buddy.

I have a cart of sonic the hedgehog that was never sold anywhere

>>7359963
>>7367114
I have a English WIP prototype cartridge of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem but it uses names that weren't invented until late 2000's and I have no idea why so I'm afraid to post anything about it.

>>7368046
Thats fan translated


In case you aint shittingkinf showing some photos?

>>7368046
>Stafy vs Starfy
>invented
You do realize these are both acceptable romanizations of the name, and that Starfy, the one they ultimately went with when the game was released, is the more logical one of the two?

Since this thread is taking a sad turn, lemme post my pre-production copy of crazy taxi 1&2, yes it's been archived.

>>7368064
Nice try. >>7367257 is correct. It was Stafy as far as the Japanese developers knew. Period.

>>7368046
Anon...that was a fanslation repro.

>>7368256
You're really a retard who has no idea how localization works, aren't you?

>>7368256
Also the poster in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, which is most likely the intended translation of Densetsu no Sutafī..
>>7368308
..And all the official website URLs. Huh.
Show us a Japanese/developer source of "Starfy" then.

>>7362035
I think you should fucking drown yourself.

>>7368329
The cart itself? The functioning debug menu? Believe what you want bro.

>>7368029
what, info?

>>7361961
how do you know this is legit and not just a fan translation loaded on the cart? seems fishy to me

>>7368352
>Source: my own hoax I'm telling you about.
Dude, either get moving video as >>7367061 and >>7367985 suggested, provide an unplayable chunk of ROM as >>7367940 suggested, or admit that you fell short in your research. This is getting sad.

>>7368308
On the off-chance this isn't OP, OP is trying to convince us that the thing he allegedly has is "a rough translation made by the Japanese team," not something English localizers did.
>>7368332
Too far, hoaxers are sad enough and might actually do it.

>>7368071
>PSP proto
Nice, any differences in it? I have a stack of PSP protos.

>>7363516
I was talking about the Stafy guy who's obviously lying

>>7367257
>>7368256
This may all be true, but what is the etymology behind "Stafy", based anons?

>>7363582
This proves nothing.
If you actually had it. which you don't, you would post some real proof with a timestamp.

>>7368490
IIRC I asked Luigiblood to help me with the process of properly dumping it with all the info, and either him or someone in the discord he introduced me to told me that it was a very late build so the differences should be extremely minimal.
So I don't think there was all that much value to the proto I dumped, but that's how it is sometimes.
You some really nice games there btw, Patapon, Ape escape, jewel summoner.
Would've loved to get some of those instead of the one I got. But alas, it was the only one included with my PSP devkits, along with two checker umds.

>>7368501
It's スターフィッシュ (Starfish), but with the ー (the letter that extends the A into something that sorta-kinda sounds like R) removed.

>>7367257
>they called it "Stafy" in Smash
You do realize Smash Melee came out before the GBA game was even released, right?

>>7368515
>Melee
https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist13.html

>>7368501
You do realize Smash Brawl came out long after the GBA game was released, right?

>>7368490
dumped it yet?

>>7368509
That's cool, the disc itself is neat. As for mine, I don't know, people seem so insistent on saying that prototype things are fake that I'm assuming my discs are fake, so I'm not going to bother. Oh well

>>7368536
There are a LOT of prototype hoaxes. You've always got to be leery of people claiming they have extremely rare prototypes until they provide solid evidence. Generally nobody doubts extremely late prototypes are real, since there's no reason to pretend to have one.

>>7368526
>the smash dojo

holy shit this is still up?

>>7368536
Most of yours don't seem to have any data on the discs themselves, so I wouldn't really know, desu. dumping them and checking the data would make it abundantly clear though?
you can also check the code on the ring on the back I think, I think it's unique per game?..
But I don't really know enough about this stuff to tell you for sure.
I know mine's legit because it actually came with the devkit, but it's also kinda low value.

>>7368546
>>7368549
I'm not going to bother. They have obvious differences from retail, but they're probably just ROMhacks. Oh well

>>7368558
(Correction: some of them)

>>7368558
It's fine if you don't want to. There are only a handful of PSP prototypes people are really interested in. (plus, people are calling out the Starfy rom because there's no documentation of it existing, so it sounds like a hoax someone came up with after the interview where they mentioned a version of Starfy DS that had swearing in it)

>>7368508
Would a webm showing it booting in an SP be enough? Showing some of the functioning debug options which according to TCRF don't work at all on the retail ROM? Would that be enough for you dummies?

>>7368514
Well, specifically moved to "fi" to modify that part instead of the "a", with "sh" removed. Basically is meant to elongate the preceding vowel, so starfish becomes Stafy.

>>7368612
As long as nobody's managed to enable those options in a romhack or something, it should be. Do make sure to show the cart is in the system.

>>7369661
OP is probably the same LARPer who claimed he was dumping paprimum with a picyture of his daddy's chinkshit. /vr/ has become a cesspool full of zoomer shit.

>>7362259
The fact that there's one on ebay for $13k and one of just the envelope it was mailed in for $400 is fucking insane, what the fuck

>>7370905
they released another game this past Halloween for 1 day only which will probably be retard level expensive also, but it apparently sold a lot more copies then poop did

>>7368612
Why is it so hard to timestamp faggot?
You're avoiding it like it's really hard. But you can't make a video showing off alot of shit?
Shut the fuck up

>>7371386
*Can

>>7368612
>>7369661

>>7363582
Alright, you're the real deal. This image is entirely new.
I was in that old thread and nearly blew a vein when it fizzled out. Please dump it in any way possible or contact pablitox (the starfy 1 fan translation project leader) on gbatemp if you're interested. I directed you to a dead website last time that the actual fan translation team wasn't using anymore and it caused us so much grief.

>>7362030
More information on the Crazy Taxi prototypes please

>>7371825
>>7371825
For whatever it's worth.
you can use ws_anon (at protonmail) if you wish.

>>7363582
PS: Even if you don't intend to distribute it in public or otherwise, please take care to dump it in full anyways and keep the ROM digitally somewhere secure. You can raise funds for it in various ways (the hidden palace for example) Rewritable development cartridges are very unreliable.

>>7371825
>Alright, you're the real deal.
You gullible fool.

Unreleased NES prototype:

https://youtu.be/oHjMQGDr3Sw

>>7368373
it's a dev copy or something. it says not for resale on the front

>>7366154
Lol good luck. Translation proto are like the least interesting ones, how much could you possibly want for that? How much did you pay lol? Buying shit like this and expecting to make money back off it is just big retard stuff. If you really love the game and shit like this you would share it with the public instead of finding another sperg who likes to waste money the way you do. If you really want to be a kike, could have found a better avenue.

>>7373342

It was a pack in game with the console

>>7373376
no, thay would mean it was sold with the console. this was never allowed to be sold.

>>7373507
It means it wasn't allowed to be sold separately

>>7362094
Confused, is the capture unit not capable of displaying video on multiple screens, only taking screenshots?

>>7373530
it doesn't say "not for resale seperately"

>>7373543
Well not all versions have video out enabled ( you can actually patch the firmware to enable it anyways, but it was sold as an option ), but for those you had to connect it to a PC to output the footage to.
Mine has the video option enabled, so both the Video OUTs on the back work, they both display one of the screens, top or bottom, but you can use the DIP switches to change what the Video OUTs do, like making one of them output both the screens to a single monitor.

So the IS-Nitro Capture and IS-Nitro Video are specifically for capturing footage of retail games.
the IS-Nitro Emulator I have doesn't read retail games, you have to connect it to a pc, load a rom into a virtual cartridge for it to read, hence emulator.
But it still has the Video OUTs option enabled, so regardless it can output to one or more screens.

>>7373573
That's a pretty cool gimmick. I'll have to keep an eye out for one in the future.

>>7373580
I would advise against getting the Emulator if you can get the Capture instead, because as cool as this thing is, I don't get any real use out of it because any game i'd want to play and feed through my capture card, I'd need to load into a virtual cartridge.
While the Capture just plays normal games.

>>7373142
No, I need to find something to adequately hold up my phone that won't interfere with playing since that's the only way I have to record anything. Rev up those smug anime reaction images in the meantime because I'm sure you'll say whatever I show is fabricated too.
>>7373349
It was a BIN listing that I saw shortly after it was posted a few years back. Same seller had some other GBA prototypes, mostly random Disney games.

I don't really have any REAL rare stuff, just rare-ish stuff I got for cheap, like a Twin Famicom and a mint condition Game & Watch Micro Vs Donkey Kong 3

Here's another demopod because why not.
I have absolutely no information on this thing other than the guy I bought it off got it from germany, I've never seen any other images of it online.

>>7373821
Also the regular European PS2 demopod

>>7373856
And I don't know if this is really rare or not, it just doesn't exist outside of japan.

>>7373914
It's pretty rare because people had no use for a multi-thousand-dollar Playstation cum DVR.

>>7373914
And this Sony Bravia PS2 tv which I think was only in Europe?
Old picture, desk messy, I know.
>>7373953
I mean I guess, but they made so many versions of this thing too.

>>7373589
Aww, quit bitching that you can't get some dumb anons to spend money on your fake ROM. You realize that you could've posted a timestamp or an partial ROM dump days ago and people would believe you, right? Buying time makes you seem even more suspicious, OP.

Actually today I got one of these, I already had one, but this one came with the original box and mounting fixtures, as well as the instructions insert.

>>7373589
I'm sorry to hear that you only have one arm, OP.

>>7360246
>>7366154
How much are you asking for, anon?

Anyone else in here who has demopod or store kiosks and wants to share key information?
Pic related, the R12 program key for the super famicom box and famicom box.
I can't actually produce these keys, but I can cut tubular keys for other demopods.
My info will probably only be useful for europeans however, since while the keys are universal, they only work for the same models.

I have one of those public PS1 devkits that allowed you to make games and submit them for distribution on Demo CDs.

Fantasy 8 for ps1 which I've had since new, one of the discs instead of being black on the bottom is light purple, still works fine.

>>7373589
Retarded faggot

>>7373183
Nice but is it yours?

>>7366154
kill yourself hoarder do you want people to preserve games for you or do you want clout

>>7366154
idk who gives attention to this larper, he clearly doesnt have it. no timestamp = no proof

https://streamable.com/4mtpmn

>>7373982
How good does that shit look? It's like playing through component? How does it treat interlaced signals?

>>7381025
Anonymous, if you're reading this, please just release the ROM to the public on Anonfiles or something. Nobody likes hoarders of gaming history. I guarantee that the cartridge won't lose value simply because it's the only known original copy in existence. It'd be worth just as much undumped as dumped, as you basically get to name your own price. Please for the love of god, help the preservation scene and release the ROM to the public. I beg of you.

>>7359963

>>7381091

I will literally pay you to destroy it, how much do you want?

>>7381025
>>7381068
All right anons who are more familiar with the game you have a job. Does the video show unique debug features as >>7368625 asked? It takes until 1:35 for stuff to happen. Frankly, I find the jump when the lights are turned off and lack of volume to be fishy, but stanger things happened. And if it boots to debug, where's the title logo mentioned at >>7362035?

>>7381025
>staRRRRRfy
You know you could've saved the headache if you didn't say it was translated by the original Japanese developers back in the first post. I still very much doubt that part - if anything, they outsourced to English translators based in Japan. Unless you can back that up with credits? Also, why'd you take so long?
>>7381068
I doubt you're going to persuade OP, people like this are set in their ways despite the fact that there's no recorded case of an available ROM ever certifiably deceasing the value of an actual physical copy. It's all placebo effect.

Hey, staRfy-kun! Did you know that the NES Earth Bound prototype actually INCREASED in value every single time it has been sold? This is despite the fact that: 1) Its ROM released back in 1998, 2) the advent of repros meant more people can play it on real hardware, and 3) Nintendo officially released the same thing as "EarthBound Beginnings" on Wii U Virtual Console in 2015. Buyers who actually pay will care about the legitimacy and condition of the cartridge, and especially if you've got one from a major company like Nintendo in which leaked prototypes are coveted and rare, you're basically set as long as you keep it in one piece. In short, the only thing you need to worry about is time!

>>7381576
The style of the translation is not like what you'd see from somebody who knows English as a native or near native language. Plus the swearing is in line with that Treehouse interview. Why is it Starfy and not Stafi? Even this version still has Stafi in the credits like the JP retail. Really I have no clue. Starfy makes more sense, and at least somebody going back to the original game realized this. The title logo graphic is half redesigned, with the top still "densetsu" in kanji, but Starfy, with an R, in English characters.

>>7381036
IIRC it's a HD-ready tv, I do recall it looking really good because it's all wired up internally.

I've got mint PAL copies of Chibi Robo, Four Swords Adventures and a bunch of other relatively pricey GameCube games + wavebird
All bought for normal prices back when I was a kid

I have and xbox xdk with some prototype stuff on it.

>>7381946
It can still be a non-native AND not-inhouse, those things aren't mutually exclusive. Alternatively, could just be a very early state of translation mainly getting the text-insertion done but needing several localization passes. If the names in the credits are identical to the Japanese release then they probably didn't get around to it and there's no way to know for sure.

op is a faggot who must claim other pictures as his own so he has something going in his life
original thread where he stole images from
>>/vr/thread/5078072

>>7381068
anon likely doesnt even have the rom he stole images from a old thread

>>7382296
>>7382290
He literally posted a video of it running. Unless someone can find a solid issue with the video, it seems to be legit.

doesnt change op is a faggot who wants money for his proto, i would be willing to pay for the physhical cartridge but who the fuck would pay for the rom

>>7382326
I mean, sure it's running off an SP but I'm still a bit skeptical since even that can be faked. Why the jumpskip turning it on? Darkness obscuring inputs? The delay uploading it? Why have it mute? And where's the title screen? I'm conflicted because I want to be wrong and it's legit but at the same time I hope I'm right because OP seems like the wrong person to be in possession of this.
>>7382345
And OP seems to be expecting someone to pay for it HERE or be content with the ROM dying with him (or a lost hard drive, whichever happens first). I'm not sure what game he's playing at.

>>7382401
I was trying to find a better setup to hold my phone while recording, but didn't feel like searching any more so I just made what i could without it. There is no jump cut, i just turned off my phone's light when I went from showing the cart in the SP to showing the gameplay screen. From looking online, it sounds like the STR check just hangs the game when reenabled in retail while here it draws lines of dots for whatever debug use that holds, the Map Jump menu has zero functionality in retail here it works fully. This also has full stop by pressing select, and a frame by frame mode when pressing Select+B which also turns on a debug display at the top left of the screen that shows what I'm guessing are coordinates along with other stuff.
I originally meant to upload directly here so I turned the sound off, but the video was too large for here so i uploaded it elsewhere. I'll reup it later with sound if that holds any value. I didn't show the title screen because I have to hold stuff back. Also note the TOTAL text is in English which I believe is in Japanese in retail.
I wish I knew more about the history.

GOOD NEWS, STARFY-KUN!! The new prez is gonna forgive the student debt you accummulated with the degree you regret so now you no longer need the money!

>>7382510
>I didn't show the title screen because I have to hold stuff back.
I was pretty on-board with thinking it was real after you posted the video, but this is a huge, HUGE red flag. You've already posted the title screen. Why would you feel the need to "hold it back"?

>>7382510
>There is no jump cut, i just turned off my phone's light when I went from showing the cart in the SP to showing the gameplay screen.
Really? Because it sure seemed like there was a skip between turning the lights off and SP turning on, lemme double-check.
>>7381025
Aaaaaand you took it down at the sign of trouble, seriously go fuck yourself.

>>7382615
Damn, did anyone save the video?
Watch OP repost it with edits which is too bad cuz he almost had me, what a slip-up.

>>7382615
https://streamable.com/d2eq5f
There is the video again, now with audio. Believe whatever you wish, but it's legit. Why does it exist? Your guess is as good as mine, but it would seem that there was some basic desire by Nintendo or people on the development team to release even the game in the west.

>>7382725
*even the first game

>>7362145
oh uhh anyone trying to open a lock like this without picking/breaking shit get a pen remove the top push it into the lock and twist with pressure odds are it will work I mean shit this trick works with a lot of tumble locks even some 50$ or hilarously 100$+ bike/motorcycle locks advertised as unpickable with a 1k+ warranty

>>7382757
Oh yeah I did that too.
But saying this works for a lot of locks is definitely not true, it only works for locks with extremely poor bitting like this one, which has three 1 depth cuts and one 2 depth cut.
Also be careful about opening stuff like this, because sometimes locking it back up can be more difficult.
Not in the case of these Super famicom box locks, for sure, super easy, but like my 3DS demopod locks, they were a bitch to pick back into the locked position.

>>7382725
OK, you know what? The "jump-cut" at >>7382615 didn't happen, the power light can be seen before the light turns off when you flip it, you just had the thing flipped down for some reason. This is the original video before it was muted so the story at >>7382510 checks out. No further edits as memory serves, >>7382708

>>7362035
Kill yourself hoarder

>>7360246
>>7366154
Just to be perfectly clear, are you demanding to sell the cartridge first, or money to release the dump?

>>7381091
is it dumped?

dubs and it gets dumped

second chance reroll
fuck niggers

Linux is best OS if win

This system cant be emulated.

>>7373349
Well, at least I would say there is a definite difference between a random localization prototype of a released game or some random third party game, and a prototype of an unreleased and unannounced localization of a Nintendo property.

>>7383043
Really, how so? Isn't the first Dragonball game ever made on that?

17 years ago, I was employed for a game development company. They don't exist anymore, when I left I kept a small handful of things from my time working there. I still have them, but I never realized there was any interest in them by other parties.

>>7384207
That's the SUPER Cassette Vision, which can be emulated. The original Cassette Vision has a thing going on where like 90% of the hardware is in the game cart itself instead of the system, which makes it kind of annoying to write an emulator for. It's 100% doable, but nobody cares enough to because it only had like 10 games (most of which are on other systems).

>>7384298
That sounds absolutely retarded anon.
Like you yourself say, it's not that it can't be emulated, it's that nobody cares to emulate it, like probably many other really old consoles that didn't get popular enough for people to care to make emulators for.

>>7382857
I don't know, but I don't intend to sell the cartridge.

>>7385602
Another thing to note is that you can't have a monetary transaction from user to user on this site. How would you even intend for us to theoretically pay you?

>>7359963
oh wow you're actually still around, is there a way to contact you or you could actually contact someone like Forest of Illusion, we'd really love to talk about what you have

>>7368029
do you have a pic?

>>7385602
So you're weighing your options but mean the latter.
This is the part I ask you to rethink that plan, but I'm sure you've read every word in this thread so I won't bother to repeat others. Still, I trust you are at least in contact with those who might actually be willing to negotiate (some of which were already mentioned)?

>>7386898
Don't do it. Starfy sucks and deserves to be buried.

Not sure if rare but I bought the JoJo fighting game for Dreamcast at a bookstore a million years ago for fifteen bucks and now it goes for three figures on ebay. I never play it so I've thought about selling.

Also uhh, I don't know. I have filled copies of Contra Hard Corps and Streets of Rage 3, I guess.

>>7360246
I doubt you're gonna convince Anons on /vr/ to pay you. If you want someone to negotiate with, try looking for someone like Forest of Illusion on Twitter, who is willing to pay for this sort of thing.

>>7359963
>What rare gaming items do you own? I have many,
Guess no one else noticed that part.

Complete US copy of Jack Bros. Bought it like 7 years ago, only played it once before my VB broke. If a lose cart is worth $700 now then this must be worth a lot more.

>>7389180
Somehow this thing survived being a rental copy. How it didn’t get crushed or thrown out is beyond me.

>>7389192
probably because not many people wanted to rent a virtual boy game

I have a ton of expensive games but I usually never see this around too much. North American version

>>7359963
The rarest thing I've got is one of the controllers in this pic. I got it in a batch of Super Famicom controllers on Yahoo Auctions Japan, only cost about a quarter of what one of these Sharp controllers alone usually costs.

>>7390987
Now you just need the Sharp SFC combo itself. I really want one myself, but I can't imagine safely shipping them is an easy task, especially if it needs to be shipped from overseas, even less so if some deputy service has to handle the packaging.

>>7391160
I've been looking for one of these myself for years too, very difficult to find.

>>7389157
How long was OP sitting on this?
>>7384270
That you, OP, or another anon?

>>7390987
man i keep kicking myself. back in the 90s there was this Amish looking guy at a flea market selling some NES games and 2 of the controllers for the Sharp NES TV unit. Not knowing WTF it was at the time, i picked up one controller for 5$ cause it looked neat and instead of being intelligent and buying the 2nd one, i bought fucking burgertime instead. Years later I got the actual system, but it didnt have the controllers for it, so i at least had one of them for it, but damn how i hate missing out on having the matching 2nd

>>7392406
No, I'm OP. I just buy shit. I have no clue why exactly the Starfy proto exists, why they were already calling it Starfy, or why it was in the hands of some reseller who also had Disney protos (he never gave me a clear answer). My guesses are the Japanese team wanted to release it in the USA (this much was stated in an interview), whoever was doing a rough translation in Japan knew enough English to know Starfy's name was a play on star/starfish and the wordplay only really made sense in English if they kept it as "star," and that it came from that seller who also had a bunch of Disney protos because... uh... I really have no clue. I can't imagine Nintendo would've allowed Disney to publish an IP that Nintendo themselves jointly owned eith Tose, but I guess that's a remote possibility?

>>7392695
Suck a dick you larping faggot, if you really had the game you would have no problem leaning your phone against something and filming the game from system bootup

>>7384270
>17 years ago my mom birthed a larper

>>7367323
image fitting, because you have about the same brain mass as larry

>>7391160
Not really interested, I have a 1Chip Super Famicom and a Trinitron TV with RGB input, that's enough.

>>7392695
My guess is that "Stafy" might've looked too much like "staff" whereas "Starfy" sounds immediately recognizeable in English.

>>7394940
It never made sense that they ever called him Stafy in English. That's like, I don't know, Noknok Shell level of English translation, a direct translation without amy thought to context or intended market.

>>7389180
DUMP IT

maybe not rare but expensive:
x68000
sony msx2+

all my rare stuff i sold years ago. maybe twin snakes in mint condition and a boxed R.O.B NES set.

Bump

>>7399108
The Starfy proto will die with the hoarder

>>7368046
i'm fucking shocked only one reply sort of picked up on this being a callout shitpost. don't worry anon i got it.

>>7400341
Though it was uncalled for.

>>7396056
I'm pretty sure it already has been.

>>7373568
My copy of MGS2 just says “Not for resale” and it was just part of a console package

This thread's still around?
>>7382725
Did Starfshit actually turn out to be real? Well, that would actually rewrite some localization/development history if legit, 'course, it's odd that the other characters names seem direct. I suppose withholding a dump for cash is the trick here. OP, I think drx of the Hidden Palace can handle stuff like this or at least point you in the right direction, might appraise your lot if you've other one-of-a-kind things to dump.

>>7403465
Op is too autistic, so we don't definitively know either way.

>>7403465
It's legit, if only because the amount of effort and skill to hoax it would be rather high to apply to something as out of the blue as an entirely unannounced Starfy localization that nobody suspected even existed until this.
>on an official GBA devcart with an aged Tose label
>debug menu with more functionality than the "restored" debug found in the retail ROM
>whole new English font and some new English graphics (I think the TOTAL graphic is in English, where it was in Japanese in the Japanese release)
>frame by frame movement with a coordinate/debug display that apparently doesn't exist at all in the retail ROM
>broken English translation with a foul language quirk that lines up with official account of the prelim localization of a Starfy game

>>7403465
>it's odd that the other characters names seem direct
Kyorosuke got localized to Kyoro. I think the other character in the video had a localized name too, but the faggot took the video down so I can't double check.

>>7404523
Hade-Hillary or something for the fish?

>>7359963
Starfy is an alright series.

>>7404523
I saw it coming that he'd take down >>7382725 after the >>7381025 debacle so in the interest of PRESERVATION here is what he showed off in this thread so far, would just upload it directly but this site ought to expand its video limits.
anonfiles com z0L859H8p5
The internet never forgets, OP.

>>7404523
>>7404556
It was Hillaryn.

>>7405678
I don't understand. How are you so sure it's legit. Couldn't some autistic person try to create a romhack using a devcart

>>7406387
Well, the only way to know for 100% sure is if the owner would be kind enough to release the ROM to the public.
That's a hint for you, OP.

>>7406387
To get the data on the cartridge alone would require both the dev cart itself (duh) and an official GBA gangwriter because afaik you can't just use off the shelf cart flashers to program an official GBA devcart, but orrect me if I'm wrong. Sure it isn't out of the question, but to have all that equipment plus the know how to partially restore some debug functions as shown in the video and add in a new debug display to Starfy of all things is just incredibly unlikely, plus going the extra mile to create an entirely new font. Is it possible, sure, but pretty much in the same way that every prototype out there *could* just be some autismo making hacks.

>>7362030
Cute figure, what is she from?

>>7407015
That Aloe from Ishuzoku Reviewers, comes bundled with the limited edition volume 1 bluray

>>7406387
>Couldn't some autistic person try to create a romhack using a devcart
Of course. That's probably what it is.

>>7406435
>but orrect me if I'm wrong.
You're wrong. Now hush little child. The slightly older children are talking.

>>7407347
Proof of writing to a development cart without official hardware?

>>7368046
>>7400341
In fairness, Akaneia/Akanea->Archanea and Durhua->Doluna/Dolhr have precedent. It's entirely feasible for different localizers to come up with the same translation.
>>7405798
That's an...interesting way to render Hirarin. Wonder how Hirao is affected.

>>7402194
what does your meme pack in game that came with your meme console have to do with my dev copy of sonic?

>>7407785
Hillaryn absolutely isn't something I'd expect someone with a poor grasp of English to come up with. Assuming it's real, I wonder if the names were localized by a different group than the text.

>>7407753
>But I don't want to read the text book. You need to prooove to me that 1+1=2.
This is one of the many reasons you're stupid, kid. Now go sit in the back of the class and be quiet. Don't make me call your mom.

>>7404523
>Kyorosuke got localized to Kyoro.
It's not so much a "localization" as it is just a shortened form of the Japanese name. Now why >>7361961 got shortened while >>7363582 didn't, I have a theory. According to https://www.starfywiki.org/wiki/Densetsu_no_Starfy_4/Internal_character_and_enemy_names "Kyoro" is an internal shorthand for Kyorosuke (later known in TLS as Moe). If true, that supports OP's assertion that it was translated by Tose, or at least had access to the same development materials. Also of note is Kyorosuke was originally known as "Kyrororun" in the unreleased Game Boy Color version of DnS, so developers were clearly attached to the "Kyoro" part of his name...

>>7409423
It was probably always intended as a draft just to make it easier for the localize-it-or-not decision maker to play through, so names probably didn't get the most attention since those would probably be entirely up to Nintendo of America to finalize.

>>7409423
But if that were the case, Yadokarita's internal shorthand is "Yado". It seems strange that they'd use one and not the other. Maybe "Kyoro" simply was his name at some point before release and this is actually a localization of a late beta?

It's hard to make heads or tails out of this thing without actually being able to examine it first-hand.

>>7406396
Given everything, I find it hard to believe OP even made a dump himself since it seems more like an excuse to get us off his case.

>>7411189
This. OP, you need provide an unplayable segment of ROM to prove you aren't lying. Otherwise any potential price negotiations won't happen.

I've legitimately owned one or more than one of every console and its variants, the only reason I collected these at all, were just to dump. The only system that defeated me was the Super A'Can, most of those games ended up being dumped as somebody from the assembler forums back then, bought out the rights for the games from the publisher and released the roms that way, it was actually easier to buy the company than it was to locate the carts.

I have a ton of arcade posters.

Probably my favorite is a really nice condition Joust poster, but I don't wanna drag it out. So here's another one that I took a pic of a while back.

>>7409786
>Maybe "Kyoro" simply was his name at some point before release and this is actually a localization of a late beta?
Not too uncommon a practice actually, especially considering the debug stuff. Clyde Mandelin described the term "transcreation" in reference to this idea.

>>7411189
OP is a troll, retarded, or both. Nothing in this thread should be taken as fact.

i got a few things but one i always find interesting is my "The Glove" for N64, not overly expensive but good luck finding one for sale.

i have a complete one with box. old picture, apparently i've had it for 9 years already.

Obtained a Spyro the Dragon prototype recently that is unreleased, but the dating of it fits in between two already released prototypes, along with it already being fully documented online.
Such a shame.

>>7413895
Dump the ISO online anyways. There's no such thing as a redundant prototype IMO, and there could be more lurking under the surface.

>>7409423
>>7409786
Alternatively, "Kyoro" might be a holdover dating back from the development period on the original Game Boy we know little about.

GoldenGB

>>7416217
Pic?

>>7359963
OP is a fag confirmed, won't post proof and asking for money on 4chan for a dump of a Rom... seriously op kys.

>>7359963
There are a lot of faggots in gaming, but hoarders like OP deserve the rope. You will never get money for your precious plastic and you are not special for hoarding it. When you die, your descendants will throw it in the trash or sell it for pennies and the only thing impression you'll have left on the world is /vr/ memorializing you as a cock-sucking faggot.

>>7417374
So OP is pretty keyed?

>>7417374
OP is indeed asking money, but it's not even to sell off the physical cartridge - it's to release his phantom DUMP. And whenever someone tries to humor him with, "okay, how much you talking about here," it's radio silence. He could have easily been a legend, but instead is acting much like the attention whore I knew at school.

>>7418450
>He could have easily been a legend
Hopefully he will be an hero

>>7418450
I honestly doubt OP is even in this thread anymore. He saw the amount of people calling his bluff and bailed.

>>7419730
I hope so, but OP hasn't posted since an anon saved his >>7381025 / >>7382725 video. Nevermind the fact that it doesn't line up his "I was gonna upload it here but the file size was too big" story, it shows regardless that he doesn't understand people are serious when they talk about preserving gaming. I don't even think OP is an actual gamer. Hoarders/Collectors are lonely sorts.

I'm confused, is the consensus that OP is real or lying?

>>7420148
Isn't Reggie on Twitter? Wouldn't he know? Can't we, like, ask him?

>>7420305
What are the odds that he'd actually respond though?

>Thread on autosage
For what purpose? Mods, please allow us to bump the thread so we can continue to try and get a rare prototype released to the public.

This pre-release is one of my rarest gaming items. If autosage is removed from this thread, I pledge to dump it here to spite OP.

>Page 11
Well, fuck. Maybe OP will actually deliver someday, but he probably won't because he's a hoarder faggot.
