WTB: N64DD Dev Kit

I search for the N64DD or an N64DD Dev kit. Can be lose or cib. Perfect with external cart.
I pay with Paypal.
Anyone have one for sale? Let me know, please!
Thanks!

 

Just as an FYI (I don't have one to sell) you WILL want one with the IPL cart if you intend to do anything with it. Without the cart, the blue drive is beyond useless for anyone except a collector.

Yeah will be hard to get. I pay an good price. Im happy for any offer!
I also have some dev hardware for trade!

 

I like to make an offer for an kit. Please let me know if you have one ;-)

 

An retail 64DD will be fine too!
I prefer an loose unit. Anyone?

I am not the seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170519338655

 

That person is ****ing nuts if they think it will sell at that price.

Sure, it seems like recently the value of 64DD stuff has gone up but that value is pretty nuts.

 

Yep, especially since it's untested..

 

With out the IPLoader cart, all of them pretty much are.

:thumbsup:

 

I read that some rev of the 64DD devkits has the IPL ROM inside like the retail one.
Is that true, can anyone confirm this?
And yes the price is much to high... But thats ebay. Thanks for the link.

 

It seems like a very select few might have the IPL but I am not sure if barc0de was able to find any (I think it was him trying to track them down based on a picture of a blue 64DD running with no IPL cart).

Even if one does not have the IPL4ROM cart, It is possible to boot a Dev 64DD by using the IPL rom on a flash cart (yet this is kind of sketchy in the legal sense). Yet most don't know/realize this.

 

at a pawn shop i saw an ipl cart, but they wanted like $350 for it. i could have used that for my emulator.

 

I had no luck finding a Dev DD unit which contained the IPL. Having seen the mobo's pictures it seems like something that could be retrofitted by someone with a soldering iron - after all the picture I saw was from inside Nintendo's offices, despite being Param's development. (beta testing of Doshin the Giant 1)

It might have been a hybrid in that it used rewritable media to play back on a retail-configured dev kit. (ie containing the DDROM loaded from the appropriate DDROM address, not using the special dev libraries/addresses etc)

the DDROM and IPL4ROM are similar but they are also different, one is used by retail games, the other is used to make games and is accessed on a different branch of the PI bus (top slot)

 

heh. makes me considering selling mine :drool:

Did I ever send you the picture of my weird unit?
It looked like someone actually had de-solder some chip from it.

 

Please let me know if we can find an decent price, ok? ;-)
