>Hey there, I am a big collector in the Seattle area and I am reaching out to you guys because I can't find what I am looking for.
>I acquired what might be a rather unusual N64 64DD drive. Keep in mind, I live in Seattle where Nintendo of North America resides just 20 minutes away...
>Notice anything unusual about this screenshot? Keep in mind, the reason why the picture is soft is because it's running through a HDMI upscaler...but the picture with English text (instead of Japanese) is legit. This is the prototype for the US version of the 64DD.
>Have you seen this before?
>This unit also had a N64 blue disc inside, but I don't know what is on it as the drive just clicks and displays an error message. However, I KNOW that Nintendo of America used this unit and the contents could be anything. This unit also has some usual writing on the front of it that doesn't look like any third party developer kit I have seen. I was told the label means "Nintendo Ultra Disc unit #1 for the USA".
>I want to know what the contents of that blue disc is. Do you have a recommendation of somebody who could help me out?
>Thanks!
So, do you think it's legit, /v/?
What kind of money are these weirdo prototype consoles usually worth, assuming they're proven to be legitimate?

The Nintendo/Sony SuperDisc sold for 75$ because they didn't know what it was
they could go anywhere from pocket change to thousands

it's just a photo shopped little mac

>keeps his console in that condition
>plugs that fucking console into possibly the rarest N64 item in existance
>>344925587
the text on the cyan stickers is definitely shopped
Would be cool if real I don't see why anyone would fake this

Makes sense considering that the English N64 game development manuals had instructions for developing 64DD games.

Money anon, they could go so far as to extract the rom memory, edit it somehow and patch it so it show the text in english for a million dollar collectible article.

>The development-use drive: The development-use 64DD utilizes development-use disks (blue disks), which are inserted in the blue bezel (disk insertion slot).
>drive in >>344925587 has a black bezel, not a blue one
Fake confirmed?

Just because they have the DD doesn't mean they'd have the original beta zelda, get a hold of yourself
plus those were probably just ideas shot around in development rather than actually developed

Seems like it's a consumer model

What the fuck am I reading?
What is this shit and why should anyone care. If it doesn't solve the emulation problem I don't give a fuck.
