GameCube tech demo from Nintendo

This is a new(i think)technical demo from the nintendo gamecube.

Don't know how "new" that is, it was part of the SDK, so if the SDK is floating around somewhere so is this demo. It is pretty neat, I've run it on my DDH before, but it pretty much just walks you through everything, there isn't much to control.

 

I have it mastered up as a gcm if anyone is interested.
and no one objects

 

Hey, isn't there another topic for the same video? ;-)

I wouldn't mind seeing it released as it might prove useful to the Dolphin-Emu devs for improving the graphics plugins without having to go through all of those games. That's my guess though, I'm not entirely sure if it would help at all. But if they were to emulate everything in the tech demo, maybe it would help with other games.

 

ehr, the effects can be pulled off on stock hardware but the amount of geometry is what I doubt about the most. I really doubt that this is a tech demo, it's more like a video of what level of graphics one should expect - which makes some sense considering they never intended the public to see this, probably to avoid the comparison of the final product's abilities to this video demonstration's quality.


*the video's quality doesn't give a fair representation of the poly count so I could be wrong, i sure hope I am =)

 

I'd love to see a GCM of this. Tech demo or not, it's a neat piece of Nintendo history!

 

it runs on standard hardware then? I d love to take a look =) thanks!

 

Yes it runs on stock hardware,(tested with a xenogc) and by fixing the region code from TESTNA it mostly works on dolphin also. I am in the process of uploading now

Edit: Uploaded http://www.fuzionstudios.com/DeveloperDemo.rar

 

Thank you!

Let's put this to work.

 

Thanks, I'll take a look!

 

It works on the Nintendo Wii too, but requires MIOS v4 and BC v2 ARM modules in the flash. Newer modules will block the disc (because it has protections to block certain modchip discs from working)

If your Wii has updated modules (System software version 3.00 or newer) it will not work.

 

still downloading but looking forward to checking it out on my Qoob'ed NGC!

 

I just realized I uploaded a non shrunk iso, reuploaded a much smaller ~13mb file of same thing. Same URL

 

Just downloading it now. Can't wait to take a look! :icon_bigg

 

is that for a fact? I have 3.4U system software and I can't be bothered with downgrading =/

 

If you have a hacked enough Wii, you can downgrade only the GC emulation files (BC and MIOS) to the versions I mentioned earlier. But the next disc you insert will re-update them to the version contained in the disc.

 

Does that include non-modchiped systems?

 

thats pretty cool i haven't seen this one yet! thxs N5NG! oh and thxs kholdfuzion for uploading it

 

Note the xenogc in quotes right after me saying that. i consider it "stock" as its not dev hardware
