I bought a Panasonic M2 FZ-35s via auction over the weekend, 47,500 yen or about $450. I found it with next to no time left and tried to research a price but couldn't find any. I decided to buy it and offer to cancel if I had made a mistake. I didn't know about the different models and versions, etc. I thought this was "the one," which is isn't. But now I have no idea what I have... Anyone know what something like that's worth?
No, no, considering how few people have the software, it's a kiosk used as a doorstop. ...one that is nothing like the planned M2 console.
Have you tried running software made for the FZ-21S on the 35S model? However, if someone has the SDK for the 35S, then the value of it goes up a little, theoretically.
Okay, at the risk of starting up yet another FZ-35s thread, I have to ask: Since there was no real SDK for the 35, then wouldn't all of the apps available on DVD have to be made with cdmotion anyways? Seems like it would be difficult if not impossible to author a DVD on the official dev hardware since DVD's weren't supported. I tend to agree with this. I've compiled a list of games/demos/software for the M2. Nothing was ever finished (exceptions: the car dealership demos; konomi arcade games). Even if you did manage to get software, it seems kind of anti-climatic to have something that runs nothing but unfinished and unpolished betas. I understand the appeal of playing betas for other systems that were established and at least playable, but not for this machine. Am I missing something?
Doubt it. There were some revisions made on the board when Panasonic shifted the M2 towards demo displays. So we really won't know unless someone shows otherwise. Have you by any chance compiled or worked on this game that was like a strategy game featuring a farmer or shepherd?
:icon_bigg :icon_bigg :icon_bigg that is wonderfull news...thank you so much. can you at least please tell us which games are complete,and make one man happy?:icon_bigg
Okay. I never was able to find a copy of it, but I always assumed as much. It was for basic multimedia authoring. Looking at press releases though I assumed that this was the target method of making software for the FZ's. By the time the FZ-35's came out in 2000, the Mac Dev kit would have been a tad bit dated. Interesting, I found reference to this but was never able to determine the difference until now. Thanks. Ummm... okay. I don't have any problem with being proven wrong. I just wish that all of this information wasn't so hush hush. Anyways I look forward to seeing your site when it's finished.
