PS2 TOOL DEV hardware

I've seen pics of those before but I haven't heard much about them. Can anyone here that has one enlighten me on the subject and give a few details on how it works and such? Thanks.

 

i havt T10000, what you want to know

 

i guess you can give the main differences between it and the retail PS2 units.
i suppose it uses a HD right? how much do these usually sell for?

i'd like to see different pics of the back and sides if you have some too. thanks.

other than that, i'm not sure what to ask. if you have info i might find interesting, don't hesitate to post

 

In basic terms the machine has two main parts, one 'side' of the machine is a very old P.C and the other 'side' is a very old PS2.

...Join the two together and you get a TOOL to dev with

 

so does this basically mean that it's a standalone machine that doesn't need to be connected to a regular dev PC?

 

inside Tool PC side is doing send system call to PS2 dev board

final, TOOL is one dev util, you need use another computer to remote it


there is a inside pic i take from last year:




sorry no more inside pic, coz it work fine now i don't want open it.

 

nice, i assume this is a prototype dev kit kinda like the xbox alpha I dev kit...

 

there is already a thread in this forum where was talked about the tool and also some photos where there

 

Your exceptionally brave opening it in the first place!!!
Cheers for the pictures - very interesting

 

this is not prototype dev kit

 

prototype ps2.5 dev is here , it make in sce 2003 nov sorry no more about that info

 

ah, it was hard to see from the first pics since you couldn't see the outside...it's basically an overgrown PS2 that has it's insides layed down like a PC. cool indeed.

and about how much $ do these usually go for?

 

hmm... inside TOOL PC just a one "CPU PCI CARD"only, another all device and pcb is PS2 dev. what is CPU PCI CARD, you can easy find in net.

cost? well , list price from SCE is US$20,000

 

yes, but this includes the licencing fees as well. i'm just wondering how much the hardware sells for on boards like these (where the sale is not controlled by sony).

for example, the licencing fee of the xbox dev kits is US$10,000 but the consoles themselves just sell for around $800-$1000.

 

$20,000 is hardware only, licen need pay......$$$$$$

xbox debug station sell to developer is $2,000+$2,500 licencing it .
well M$ did not sold to developer no XDK inside debug xbox....so $2,500 icencing must pay too

 

so the xbox licensing and hardware fee is not $10,000?
i have a document here that says that it's $10,000



i think i read somewhere that this includes the licence

 

Oh man, I am drooling so badly now...

 

yeah, same here. i'd like one of those TOOL machines too. i'm saving up for an XDK DVT4 so i guess i'll have to wait a little longer for this one.

 

i know DVT3 is selling $10,000 when it rls. and next green one ready is $2000+$2500 i buy from last year., that is why i told you before 5933 need $2000 cost

 

Tell us more about this please... PS2.5???
