Various dev kit valuations

Hey All

Looking for some valuations please. I suspect all the kit works, but genuinely can't be 100% sure.

1) SNASM. Used on Megadrive (68K) - did work around 1995, not tested since!



2) SEGA SATURN CART DEV Rev B. Did work, not tested for a few years.



3) Nintendo Wii NDEV. Powers up, seems fine but can't test it.



4) Nintendo RVT-R. I've booted these and they seem OK. Complete with all cables etc... (some of OS disks)
Also have some RVT-H units (on their own)



Thanks All...

 

That's not the original box for the CartDev, is it? And is it only the unit and cart - no manuals, leads, PSU etc?

As you say Mega Drive, are you in the UK?

An NDEV sold complete with software and all cables for $400 about 6 months ago. More recently, a similar unit sold for nearly $700.... and a couple of units without anything (no software or cables) sold for $200 a piece. RVT-Rs seem to sell for around $100 boxed completeish. A loose one went for $80 recently.

Snasm... what do you want? heh

*EDIT*

Do you still have these items? Also, see my reply over there from a year ago - it'd be great if you could reply to that! Info is always appreciated here!

 

I can't give you an idea on the Sega stuff but you're looking at around £250 for an NDEV if it's complete, £100-£125 on an RVT-R and £75 tops on a loose RVT-H (there's just no demand for these at the moment, I'd suggest keeping hold of these until the market gets a little better).

 

1) SNASM. Used on Megadrive (68K) - did work around 1995, not tested since!

Very nice, never seen before. Hard to say how much it is worth.
A loose cartdev you can get 200€ maybe 250€.

 

Yes I do still have those. I was going to stick them on ebay at some point. Also have a NDS Nitro too. I'll reply to the other thread

 

Do you have any Gamecube development items?

 

Sorry no GC kit. I've also got a Saturn test kit with some Beta disks of a few games from the AM2 guys somewhere.

 

We want to see those! Also, whatever happened to MM V3 on the Saturn?

 

Any one have more info on the Snasm68k Console Interface? I'm interested in what all it would have came with to be set up.

 

I think you still need the interface cart for the MD. Will be nice to see the rear.
That box was build before cross use the MCD devunit, i think.

 

Let's not get too off-topic here with questions - don't forget it's a price check thread!

Mapster has a thread over here that's probably better for asking questions

What do you mean by test kit exactly? There were some "QA" consoles that were pretty much retail, a couple of debug units from Intelligent Systems, then there's the Saturn that goes on the CartDev... or the vastly different Sophia unit. Yes, the betas sound good - shall we discuss on the other thread?

 

BUMP - any more evaluations on this lot please? PM if you have questions..

 

Well I can say a little about the snasm box. One thing it does have going for it is it's rare, I don't think I've ever seen that box for sale complete with all the bits (although from memory assembler has a few still packed in boxes). That said, this one is missing the pod to connect it to the target system, and the PC SNASM interface card and cable, and the software and manuals. The box by itself is basically of no real use. It's also less desirable in that there's the ZAX ice unit, which is more powerful than this, and there's the Cross Products MegaCD dev unit, which is basically a newer revision of two of these units inbuilt into a Mega Drive + MegaCD combo, with a CD emulator to boot, which is a much cooler and more useful unit, and easier to come by. A loose Cross Products unit without any interface cards was no more than $400 a few years back, and this has to be worth a lot less than that to most people. Maybe $100-$200? It's a very small number of people who'd be interested in this without the pod though.

 

Oh, as a small request, any chance of some nice high res pictures of the snasm unit from each side? There aren't really any good pictures of one of these units online.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll take some pics of the SNASM shortly.

I also have a Saturn test kit fully working with system disk. Picture with the Cart Deb Rev B.

 

The system disk alone can be worth quite a bit of money, with the exact value depending on what type it is. The black disk is a third party developer disk, which I assume is what you have. That should be worth a good $100 by itself, but perhaps a bit more if you have the original case and inserts and it's all in good condition. If it's a red disk, that's a first party developer disk, and it's worth quite a bit more again, possibly $200+ depending on condition.

As for the debug Saturn, I've seen a few different modifications, it really depends on exactly what's been done to this unit. I can see there's some kind of box on the back of that system, but I don't recognize it. Can you take a clear photo of the back of that Saturn without the CartDev in the way, and photos of any other things that appear to have been modified on the system? Also, if you used the system back in the day and you know what this particular debug Saturn was used for and exactly what it can do, that would definitely make it easier to figure out a value.

 

This particular Saturn was used at SOE (SEGA Europe around 1993/4/5 - London) - it was to play in non final development builds. Pop in the System Disk (Black third part in this instance - Make ID hidden in this pic) run this disk, then you could drop in any non bootstrapped development build. The CD's in the pic are marked; Wing Arms Final NTSC, Saturn Puyo Puyo 2 and the final one is a pre final Virtual Fighter PAL. Build date 21/4. I'll try them out later, they've all been stored in cases and look in good condition.



The box at the back of the Saturn has two inputs. You can toggle a PAL/ NTSC switch, then the clicker allows you to cycle through region codes. Effectively you can set this up to be a Saturn in any territory.

 

The NDEVs usually go for $250~300.
I could fetch you some drivers and tools if you're interested in seeing if it actually boots up and not just powers.
We have one at the company, so getting the SDK + drivers shouldn't be too hard

 

That Saturn dev kit is beautiful

 

Hi Guys.
Just brought an NDEV a couple of weeks ago and thought I've have a hunt round to find the SDK etc for it. Gave it a Google and ended up here.... to my surprise the NDEV I brought is the one in this thread (also brought one of the RVT-R's too... I couldn't resist!)
I don't suppose I could get a copy of the SDK + drivers from you Dragoon.... pleaseeee I've always tended to just collect unusual video games but I'm starting to get interested in dev items and having a play round with them where possible
Thanks in advance
