NR Writer?

I was bored and search for dev hardware on Google. Anyway, I think I might have found something interesting.



If it's not the NR Writer, then does anyone know what it is?

 

Looks like a normal NR reader.

 

I thought the NR Readers only came in the one green color.

 

I doubt an NR writer would be in a gamecube shell, as it doesn't need any gamecube hardware. I agree that it probably is just an NR-reader in a different colour

 

it a snsys gc dev util.

 

NR readers do come in colours other than green. The one on the Assembler site is the standard blue/purple GC colour.

 

Thats a SNSys TDEV unit.

If someone wants to know what a NR-Writer looks like here is a pic:

 

Does that say Panasonic on the front?

 

Naturally

 

There's some piccies of the tdev on the sn systems site:

wish they had pics of other stuff though... :-(

Namely that usb interface, Eh?

 

Does anyone have a model number on the nr-writer. It would be interestign to do some research to see how it matches up to other dvd writers

 

Nintendo's (GameCube) NR-Writer Unit!!!!

The Nintendo GameCube NR-Writer is a Ultra SCSI 50 HD Burner. Here is some more info.

Model Number of unit is Panasonic / Mitshitia 9501 SW SCSI

NR-Writer

The NR-Writer is an optical disc writer that creates NR-Discs.

Although it looks like a standard DVD-R with SCSI interface,

it’s much cooler! The NR-Writer is specifically designed to

produce 8cm NR-Discs. The NR-Writer software only accepts

GCM files. The NR-Writer can burn a GCM disc

image to an NR-Disc in about 20 minutes. You can daisy-chain

up to four NR-Writers on a single SCSI card, allowing multiple

disc images to be burned simultaneously.

 

Anybody here burn a Nr disc? (im not a cube dev person, just handhelds).

 

Thanks for the info Nintendo. From it I was able to find the drive Now all i need to find is the software.

Anyone out there can help I would appreciate it.

This is the only place I found it for sale. It's about $6500. Has anyone found one cheaper?

 

Are you referring to this one on that link you posted = PANASONIC SW-9501-TXX EXTERNAL SCSI DVD RAM DRIVE?

...If so it won't work, if its another drive please advise.

 

You need a special BIOS for the drive apparently, the retail unit won't burn NR disks natively, even with the SNsys software.

 

Yeah, that's the drive I was talking about.

 

i am sure there is a firmware update from Nintendo for the Writer.
