Hey guys! So, my 64DD turned up today, and what an awesome package it is too. I found that two of the Mario Artist disks and the FZero-X expansion disk are all still factory sealed too. Well, I couldn't not open FZero since that's pretty much the reason I bought it (saw how the 64DD was promoted with the expansion kit prior to its actual release and fell in love there and then) so that's no longer wrapped, but what about the two Mario Artist disks? Should I open them or leave them as they are? They're the two that don't come with peripherals (ie the capture cart and mouse) which ever they are. After only a short while playing on it however I really wish I could find a way to make an ethernet adapter to replace the modem and register the old Randnet domain name and see if I can't get the old service up and running again for fans and home-brew developers. Shame that I would have no idea where to start and I'm pretty sure it would be an absolute waste of time, money and energy. Oh well, if only it was released around the world and in larger numbers! :icon_bigg
I got my F-zero Xpansion kit, unopened, wrapped, for 80 dollars. you should assume around that priced for wrapped games. Yet, the DD has only got 9+1 games. They re all a hell of an experience in the obscure. Why on earth would you want to trade money for something as cool as playing on your DD? (I assume that you're in no need for money, considering you bought a DD which is far from cheap) Enjoy it. Money doesn't bring you joy, it facilitates it PS: I think you can set-up a virtual center as you would with an RJ45, for connecting randnet. Just because the protocol doesn't kick-in automatically, it doesn't mean that on the PC side of things, there aren't applications that can handle the classic dial-up protocols that flow from the RJ11 port. The hardest part would be satisfying the requests of the program at a logical level , rather than faking the connection , imo.
