Sega Nintendo Super Station 64

So what ever happened to the prototype? Did the owner find a way to power it on or was it all a hoax?

[Anonymous No.2618308]

>>2618302
prolly a hoax

[Anonymous No.2618316]

Doubt it, but I don't really give a shit anymore . Most of the launch games would've been edutainment shit had it been released anyways, so I'm glad we got what we got.

It was a Rebbit hoax to gain upvotes.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a hoax, but I'm alos pretty sure we'll never hear about it again. Dip shit dropped it in the river Gladden and it won't be seen again in this age.

In all likelyhood this thing wasn't a game changer. It's probably essentially an SNES with a disc drive for large/cheap ROMs, and maybe some extra audio equipment tacked on that takes advantage of the fact periphery equipment could mix into the SNES APU's output before being put onto the DAC.

If there were no games, then it's a fancy ass SNES that can play audio CDs.

That's it.

No new graphics chips. No new functionality. Just a Famicom disk drive 2.0 that couldn't even write back to disc.

The only reason why this is interesting past being a curiosity is that it is tangible evidence of the relationship between Nintendo and Sony in a critical time in video game development; transitioning from 2D to 3D.

Who gives a fuck about the console.

It's obviously a fake being how we haven't heard anything about the SNES cartridge that was in it.

[Anonymous No.2618658]

He didn't have an SNES. He might since have tested it and seen what's on it, but who knows. I see no reason to doubt that this is real. Old, rare, very few of a kind game things show up for sale with some regularity.

[Anonymous No.2618670]

This is a SNES we're talking about. If you can't find or just buy one off ebay for like $30 to play a fucking unknown cartridge you're either a fucking retard or trying to avoid being shown a fake.

[Anonymous No.2619045]

>>2618670
Or just being extremely careful not to destroy a piece of history immeasurable by monetary value?
We don't know anything about the device - who knows, maybe it had a different voltage or something, the guy might have fried the cart if he took any risks.

I'm not saying it's fake but I'm not entirely convinced it's real either. Well just have to wait.

Who says he worked alone?

Not sure why you want to believe so much. It's painfully obvious that if we haven't seen what was on the SNES cart by now it's fake or the guy fell off the face of the earth.

[Anonymous No.2619089]

>>2619072
Maybe the guy just hasn't gotten around to it, or maybe he's messing around with whatever is on the cart before showing it off, or maybe someone convinced him to keep it secret, or maybe the whole Super Famicom cart design confused him when he was unable to get it to fit in a US SNES, or maybe he thinks it will only work on the hybrid console and not on a regular SNES (which could possibly be true, maybe, but I kinda doubt it).

Who knows. Until someone can provide better evidence than hypothetical he could have 3D printed it, I will maintain that it is quite possibly legit.

If it isn't, he's a fucking pro.

[Anonymous No.2619128]

>>2619109
yeah sorry i don't believe that for a second. i prefer to be optimistic about the console. why? all his previous videos and likes were hip hop and music related. he seems like a chill guy. why would he fake it?

also maybe you should go to a prop shop and get them to make a replica just like in the video to prove your point? come on man.

the cynicism is pretty appalling from you guys tbh, i expected better.

[Anonymous No.2619141]

>>2618369
No. Some actual hardware look like that. In this case it was probably done to make the hoax more believable and distract from discussing the actual clues.

>>2618605
>extra RAM expansion
Used to store the ROM.

>>2619101
Yes it was made by someone who has done some impressive custom cases.

This is fucking hilarious.
Look at the facts retard.

All we have is a shaky video
Some closeups of a shell
Some closeups of a controller
And a picture of the cartridge

There's no pcb pics
There's no pic of the cartridge working

The two easy things to confirm authenticity have not been provided.

YET you want to say it's legit because of your ignorance of prop making.. Look at the props in Pacific Rim.

I've seen alien autopsy videos that looked more credible then this shit.

[Anonymous No.2619159]

>>2619109
COULD it be? Sure, I guess. I rewatched the video video since it had been awhile, and if it is, yeah, they sure payed a lot of attention to detail.

Similarly, every prototype ROM on the internet could be meticulously edited ROM files from retail games.

Your "facts" are more likely to prove it's real than fake.

[Anonymous No.2619254]

Of course there would be extra RAM as a CD read buffer. If the buffer itself was read/write enabled, then most certainly you could use the extra RAM to extend the base 128kBytes installed on the SNES.

But carts could pack extra RAM too, and did for things like the SuperFX. In other words adding extra RAM isn't anything that was new or unheard of.

>>2618643
My point being is that he probably sold the thing to his Denver store owner buddy and it's in other unknown hands.

>>2619045
This is retarded. Playing the cart in a stock SNES wouldn't hurt it. The worst that could happen is nothing because the ROM is trying to poke at registers that aren't there.

It's not like some new logic family was synthesized just for this stupid forgotten thing. Shit most certainly used 5V logic levels.

I mean, the whole point was for the thing was to be backwards compatible with the existing library. Otherwise why have the cart slot in the shape of a SFC game?

>>2619051
>>2619072
>>2619101
Why haven't there been copycats to cash in on the mad internet cred? a) because I doubt it's a prop and b) because internet cred is fucking worthless.

Yeah, I guess you could troll the Internet with a hoax like this, but dude could have gotten _much_ better mileage out of his lulz with such a quality fake. I think the fact he hasn't supports that it's probably real.

[Anonymous No.2619708]

Find it kinda funny he pulls out a shitty port of Unreal Tournament to prove his gamer cred when if he's telling the truth he already has a device that would pretty much put him above every Sony and Nintendo fan who even gives a shit about that.

Aiming your post at the wrong dude, but he's right. You clearly don't know much about electronics.

Yeah, no shit I didn't make the console or the cart. But I do make custom electronics, I have made an SNES EPROM cart that I use to this day, I know the SNES architecture fairly well, I understand how computers work from the electron up, and I know that there are only so many commodity logic families out there. This shit uses TTL fo sho. I don't have to look at the insides to be confident in that assertion, I just have to look at the technology available at that time on a economic scale.

But by all means, continue flailing your voodoo beliefs.

Guess what buddy you don't know a damn thing about this console until you open it up and look inside with your own eyes. Now shut up and be glad I posted a video for you nerds to see that this device does in fact exist instead of constantly begging him to risk destroying it to further your greedy needs.

And another thread on /vr/ turns into a screaming match. I remember the last thread we had on this machine ended similarly, although it got derailed and turned into an argument about some off-topic nonsense.

Do you not realized this is essentially a repackaged SNES with a disc drive connected to the expansion port that's on the bottom of ALL SNESs? Why the fuck would companies sink huge amounts of capitol into developing custom hardware? That's a terrible way to do business, especially when you're in the red just manufacturing these things. Electronics are like Lego and should be treated as such; slap an SNES on a disc drive and viola! (it's really not much more difficult than that)

Using the technology that's available, and making new consoles backwards compatible if possible, are the only sound business strategies here.

I don't need the thing in my hand to tell you this.

If he popped the top and took some pictures people could read off the voltage regulator part umber, look up the spec sheet, prove that it runs on the power ratings labeled on the back, and laugh in your face for ignoring the evidence: the year it was made and the intent of the design. Yeah that's indirect, but so is evidence for the Big Bang.

Firstly, thanks for the pic, because there is only one other even decent pic of this on the entire internet. It *is* real, and has been played and reviewed by some YouTubers. This is a Playstation and SNES mixed together, although I have no idea if it'll play PS2 discs, I only saw it running an SNES cart. It was a prototype and there are no other known examples to my knowledge. If it were a hoax, they'd have outed the guy by now. I was very unsure too, until I did a lot of research. Nintendo hasn't confirmed it yet, and I want to ask but I have a feeling they would just laugh that off. I'm totally necroposting, but it's funny because this goddamn thing IS real. I thought it wasn't too...!
