Glad to see this thread was missed. From now on I will start a new one each month so it doesn't get too bogged down with the sold items.

All those prototypes are the real deal. I saw all of Frodis's protos in person last year, and bought out most of Will Fong's collection over the last two years (these are what was left) :).

Which is better having the most current auctions first or the oldest auctions first?

My original thought was that as the new auctions came in I could add them to the bottom but its seems the opposite would be easier to follow.

The Zimag cart looks just like the Air Raid I just sent to Marco. I believe it's a pirate not a proto.

Tempest
09-16-2002, 03:06 PM
Nope I don't have any Zimag protos, nor have I seen one. They're rarer than hens teeth. I would be very interested in getting my hands on that, but something tells me it's going to sky rocket.

Can't say for sure if it is legit, looks like it could be. I've seen some odd looking protos from third party companies before.

A little blurp about the AVP Lynx cart, I was the one who put up a reproduction of it on eBay a couple months ago. Some clown from Germany won it, didn't pay and listed it as his own on eBay.de. He got busted on Atariage and apologized. I then sold the repro to a guy from the message boards privately for $50.00,- dollars and he decided not to keep it and put it back up.

I think the guy who won it from him is now selling it so it's not a mass produced item. The reason why he is not showing it is probably because it is unlike any other Lynx cart around.

If anyone is interested in what it looks like, I'll post a picture of it.

Buyatari
09-16-2002, 11:31 PM
Ok someone help me out.

Isn't there a small website selling copies of the AVP proto?

I don't know... I would suggest adding new auctions as new posts at the bottom of the thread like normal (rather than editing your initial post each time), just so the conversation about each note is left intact. Otherwise it's hard to follow.

AVP is mass produced now, I bought it for $40 awhile back, so anyone that tells you otherwise is a fool.

can somebody give some more info on the n64 development system? is all the stuff it comes with all you need to start developing?

Buyatari
09-19-2002, 09:10 PM
Well the N64 dev unit doesn't look like it has all the PC software required. I don't know what hardware is required but I think you need more hardware than is there as well.

Adam

CPUWIZ
09-19-2002, 10:25 PM
Actually, this unit is complete. This peticular development system was made by SN Systems in the UK, the reason it seems incomplete is because the cables aren't shown (as mentioned in description). This is by far the best devkit there is for the N64. 8)

So don't bid on it ! :D

Buyatari
09-19-2002, 10:50 PM
I have 18-20 different official N64 PC disks used for development.

You don't need this for N64 development?

Adam

CPUWIZ
09-20-2002, 01:27 AM
What I am talking about is the hardware and the software that controls the hardware, that is all you need to make N64 software.

Of course you need manuals and assemblers/compilers to make the code you are going to run but running the code is the difficult part not making it. :wink:

Too bad the guy selling the GD-Rom writer is living in a fantasy land. Sure, they are hard to find, but they aren't worth 8000 pounds. Also, when an item is recalled by a company (especially Sega) it becomes easier to find because employees are notorious for taking these things home (and selling them) rather than destroying them. In my experience, third party developers are much more likely to destroy their old development equipment than the actual manufacturer is when they "recall" them.

The Choplifter proto is not the final release. I have that version and among other things, it is missing the demo at the start of the game. It is very close to the final though.

As for the Intellivision test carts, someone found a large stash of them about a year ago. That's why you're suddenly seeing them all over the place. I'm not sure what the difference is between the B&W and the blue label is though (probably a later run).

Oh and I won the Zimag Tanks proto. I recently found some pictures of some Zimag protos and they look just like it. I think this one is legit (either that or I'm out $26).

yeah I saw that one I didn't want to give it any more attention than it deserved.

Didn't best have some REAL protos?

How can you tell a real best proto from a fake one?
