Someone owns a Zelda 64 Development cart

Yeah...the title of this topic pretty much speaks for itself.

I don't know what to say besides, why. I really wish I could say more but, there isn't much TO say.

I don't even know why I bothered trying to post a comment in Japanese since my grammar is god awful. I don't even know how I should feel about this. Being someone who was very close with the people who worked to get the debug rom, this is something a little unexpected. The guy says he bought it from a market, not sure if it could mean "collector".

I really wanted to post this, because this could be the biggest prototype in like, the history of the world. If this were dumped, which looks like it won't, I will do anything to see this working.

 

Well... there's a N64 demo cartridge and you get to see one single, non-animated screen, all in a very, very blurry video. I'm not convinced yet.

 

looks like it was recorded on a cell phone

 

I'm actually starting to think about it, and I think it might be some attention whore faggot that I know personally just trying to capture an audiance. Notice how the keywords are in english while the description is in Japanese (probably using a translator, I don't know how to look for that). He signs up for an account and posts the video all in one day. Also, why the hell is he constantly figiting with the camera just so he can turn on the N64? He probably had to make an edited image appear. And all of this happens no less than 6 hours.

I don't know about N64 dev carts, but I know from someone else that N64 carts cost A LOT. And I know for a fact that these carts have to work or it would be a waste of money. The only way I could think this would be real is if this were from TGS - but I think there were no playable demos of this at TGS, just videos. For someone who worked with the debugger for OoT before anyone else got a chance to use it , they never mention it being a "cartridge". And they sure as hell wouldn't display only that information on the screen. There would be tons of numbers as well, don't you think? Also, why does it load the "game" first, then loads the "map list" then spits out a "cartridge" error? That makes no sense.

God, I don't know. I really hope you're right. And the more and more I dig into this, I'm figuring it out for myself.

For now, I don't think anyone should worry about it. You might as well delete this topic.

Edit: yeah his aim is ffififififififif, sure is authentic for a person, right? Right, delete this topic.
